Recipe Instructions:
-
Preparation: Begin by placing the russet potatoes in a large bowl and covering them with cold water. Allow them to stand for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 425°F and prepare a nonstick baking sheet by spraying it with vegetable cooking spray.
-
Drain and Dry: After 15 minutes, drain the potatoes in a colander. Spread them on a double layer of paper towels and cover them with another layer. Press down gently to dry the potatoes effectively.
-
Seasoning: Transfer the dried potatoes to a clean, large bowl. Sprinkle them with oil, black pepper, and salt. Toss gently to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with the flavorful seasoning.
-
Baking: Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake them in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
-
Turn and Continue Baking: Using a spatula, carefully turn the potatoes. Sprinkle them with minced garlic. Continue baking until they turn golden, approximately 20 minutes more. For even browning, turn the baking sheet after 10 minutes.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, serve the Crispy Potato Wedges immediately with reduced sodium ketchup on the side. Note that for a sweeter flavor, you can use sweet potatoes instead of russet potatoes. You can also enhance the spice profile by adding 1/2 teaspoon of paprika when tossing the potatoes with spices.
Cooking Tips:
- To achieve an extra layer of flavor, consider experimenting with different dipping sauces such as aioli or spicy mayo.
- For a time-saving option, you can parboil the potatoes before baking to reduce the overall cooking time.
- Feel free to customize the spice level by adjusting the amount of black pepper and garlic according to your taste preferences.
In just under two hours, you can create a batch of Crispy Potato Wedges that are not only visually appealing but also a delightful snack for any occasion. Whether you’re hosting a casual get-together or simply craving a savory treat, these wedges are sure to satisfy your taste buds. Enjoy the crispy goodness!
