Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Seasonings
- 4 russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced or 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
Optional Toppings
- Grated vegan parmesan (such as Violife brand)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and lightly grease a large baking pan with oil to prevent sticking.
- Cut Potatoes: Scrub the russet potatoes clean. Slice each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into thirds or fourths lengthwise at an angle, depending on the size of the potatoes, to create wedge shapes.
- Season Potatoes: Place the sliced potatoes into a large resealable bag or bowl. Add olive oil, minced garlic (or garlic powder), onion powder, smoked paprika, and salt. Seal the bag or mix well in the bowl, shaking or tossing to coat all wedges evenly with the seasonings.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even baking and crispiness.
- Bake and Flip: Bake for 35 minutes total, flipping the wedges once halfway through baking to promote even browning and crispiness. They are done when golden on the outside and easily pierced with a fork.
- Optional Garnish and Serve: If desired, sprinkle grated vegan parmesan over the hot potato wedges. Serve immediately with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
- For extra crispiness, use a convection oven setting if available.
- Cut potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking.
- Use fresh garlic for more robust flavor or garlic powder for convenience.
- These wedges can also be cooked in an air fryer at 400 degrees F for about 25 minutes, shaking halfway through.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
