Ingredients:
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 baking potatoes
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). This ensures that it’s adequately heated before you start baking the potato wedges.
-
Prepare Seasoning Mixture: In a small bowl, mix together the salt, sugar, paprika, ground mustard, and garlic powder. This flavorful blend will add depth and zest to your potato wedges.
-
Prep Potatoes: Gently scrub the potatoes under running water to remove any dirt. There’s no need to peel them; the skin adds texture and nutrients.
-
Cut Potatoes: Cut each potato lengthwise in half, then slice each half into four wedges. This creates perfectly-sized wedges that will cook evenly in the oven.
-
Arrange in Pan: Place the potato wedges, skin sides down, in an ungreased rectangular pan, preferably sized 13x9x2 inches. This allows enough space for the wedges to crisp up without overcrowding.
-
Coat with Cooking Spray: Give the potato wedges a light coating of cooking spray. This helps to crisp up the exterior of the wedges while keeping them moist on the inside.
-
Season: Sprinkle the prepared seasoning mixture over the potato wedges. Ensure that each wedge is evenly coated with the flavorful blend.
-
Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake the potato wedges uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Keep in mind that baking times may vary depending on the size and type of potatoes used.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the pan from the oven and let the potato wedges cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these crispy and flavorful oven-fried potato wedges as a delicious side dish or snack.
Tips:
- For extra crispiness, you can flip the potato wedges halfway through the baking time.
- Experiment with different seasonings such as rosemary, thyme, or cayenne pepper to customize the flavor of your potato wedges.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, aioli, or ranch dressing, for an extra burst of flavor.
Now, savor the deliciousness of these healthier Oven-Fried Potato Wedges, perfect for any occasion!
