Ingredients

2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes sliced into thick wedges
3 teaspoons kosher salt
3 tablespoons high-quality extra virgin olive oil
Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 tablespoon Italian herb seasoning blend
1 teaspoon smoked paprika optional, for a subtle smoky flavor
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional, for a touch of heat

Instructions

Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Make sure it’s nice and hot. A hot oven gives those wedges the crispy texture we crave.
Wash your Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly. You don’t need to peel them; the skin adds extra flavor and texture. Cut them into thick wedges. Aim for pieces that are about 1 inch wide. If they’re too thin, they may burn, and we want crispy, not charred.
In a large bowl, toss your potato wedges with olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian herbs, and any optional spices you fancy. Ensure each wedge is coated evenly. Get in there with your hands — they’ll thank you later.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Arrange your seasoned wedges in a single layer, leaving space between each. This separation helps them cook evenly and achieve that sought-after crispiness.
Place the sheet in the oven and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes. Halfway through, flip the wedges to ensure even cooking. Keep an eye on them. The edges should be golden brown and crisp.
Once they’re out of the oven, let them cool slightly. This will intensify the flavors. Serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy each satisfying bite.

Notes

Choose the Right Potatoes: Yukon Golds are ideal due to their creamy texture. However, Russets work well too.
Slice Evenly: Ensure consistent cooking by cutting your wedges the same size.
Don’t Overcrowd: Give them room to breathe on the baking sheet. Crowding leads to steaming instead of crisping.
Experiment with Seasoning: Feel free to get creative. Try adding cheese, chili powder, or even a drizzle of honey for a sweet twist.
Use High Heat: The higher the temperature, the crunchier your wedges will be. Just keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
