Instructions:

1. Prepare Potatoes:

   • Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them in half lengthwise. Then, slice each half into 3 or 4 wedges, depending on the size of the potato.

2. Soak Potatoes:

   • Place the potato wedges in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them sit for about 5 minutes while you prepare the coating.

3. Preheat Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius) to ensure it’s nice and hot for baking the potatoes.

4. Prepare Coating Mixture:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Hungarian paprika, seasoning salt, black pepper, granulated garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix everything well to ensure an even distribution of flavors.

5. Melt Butter:

   • In a medium-sized bowl or saucepan, melt the butter until it’s completely liquefied and ready to coat the potato wedges.

6. Dry Potatoes:

   • After the potato wedges have soaked for a few minutes, remove them from the water and pat them dry with paper towels. This step helps the coating stick better to the potatoes.

7. Coat Potatoes:

   • Working in batches, drop several potato wedges into the melted butter and toss them to coat evenly. Once coated, transfer the butter-coated wedges to the bowl of breadcrumb and spice mixture.

8. Coat with Spice Mixture:

   • Roll the butter-coated potato wedges in the breadcrumb and spice mixture, ensuring each wedge is thoroughly coated with the flavorful mixture.

9. Bake Potatoes:

   • Arrange the coated potato wedges directly on the middle rack of your preheated oven, making sure to space them apart to allow for even cooking. Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the potatoes are nicely browned and cooked to your desired level of crispiness.

10. Serve:

    • Once baked to perfection, remove the potatoes from the oven and serve them immediately while they’re still hot and crispy. These delicious spice/crumb coated wedge baked potatoes pair perfectly with a tangy Dill Dip or a creamy Garden Dip, making them an ideal finger food for gatherings or a tasty side dish for any meal. Enjoy the crunchy exterior and fluffy interior of these delightful potatoes that are sure to please both kids and adults alike!
