Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Boil Potatoes: Start by boiling the potatoes until they are tender. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes. You can check for tenderness by piercing them with a fork. Once they’re done, drain the water and let them cool slightly. |
| 2 | Cut into Wedges: Once the potatoes have cooled down a bit, cut each one into 6 wedges. You can adjust the size of the wedges according to your preference. |
| 3 | Season Potatoes: In a large bowl, place the potato wedges and sprinkle them with the rosemary, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Feel free to adjust the amount of herbs and seasoning based on your taste preferences. |
| 4 | Coat with Butter: Add the butter to the bowl with the seasoned potato wedges. Gently stir to coat all the wedges evenly with the butter and seasoning mixture. Make sure each wedge is well coated for maximum flavor. |
| 5 | Bake: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. This ensures even cooking and prevents sticking. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the wedges are golden brown and crispy on the outside. |
| 6 | Serve: Once the potato wedges are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. You can enjoy them as is or top them with your favorite cheese for an extra indulgent treat. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious flavors of these easy home style potato wedges with herbs! |
