Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds russet potatoes (6 smallish or 4 medium), scrubbed clean
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut each potato in half lengthways, then cut each half into four wedges, aiming for equal sizes.
- Soak the potato wedges in hot water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch.
- Drain and pat the potatoes dry, then place them on the baking pan and drizzle with olive oil.
- Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper over the potatoes, tossing to coat evenly.
- Arrange the wedges in a single layer with cut sides down, using two pans if necessary for space.
- Bake for 30 minutes, flip the wedges, and return to the oven.
- Bake for an additional 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown and crisp, checking frequently.
- Garnish with parsley if desired and serve hot.
Notes
Potatoes should be cut evenly for uniform cooking and crispiness.
Soaking helps achieve a crunchier texture; drain thoroughly before seasoning.
Bake in two pans if needed to ensure even cooking.
