SEASONED BAKED POTATO WEDGES

- Spread out on tray, ensuring cut side lies flat on the tray.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, turning once, or until dark golden brown and crispy.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for oven-baked potato wedges because they are starchy and have a fluffy texture. You can also use Yukon Gold or red potatoes, but they will be less fluffy.
- Cut the potatoes into even wedges: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for wedges that are about 1-inch thick and 2-inches long.
- Toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper: This will help them to brown and crisp in the oven. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, paprika, or chili powder.
- Bake the potato wedges at a high temperature: This will help them to crisp up. Aim for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Flip the potato wedges halfway through cooking: This will help them to cook evenly. Use a spatula to carefully flip the wedges over.
- Serve the potato wedges hot: They are best enjoyed when they are hot and crispy. You can serve them with your favorite dipping sauce.
