How to make potato wedges with herbs and spices?

Crispy herbed potato wedges with bold seasoning

Potato wedges are a straightforward, crowd-pleasing side: cut potatoes into large wedges, toss in oil and a seasoning blend, and roast until crisp. Use firm, all-purpose potatoes and leave the skin on for texture and flavor.

Seasoning and prep:

• Cut potatoes into even wedges and soak briefly in cold water to remove surface starch.
• Pat dry, toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs like rosemary, thyme, or oregano.
• Add spices such as smoked paprika, garlic powder, or cayenne for a kick.

Roasting method:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Arrange wedges on a single layer on a baking sheet and roast 30–40 minutes, turning once.
• Finish with lemon juice or vinegar and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

Serving suggestions: Serve with aioli, ketchup, or yogurt-based dips. For extra crispness, use a convection setting if available or increase heat for the last few minutes. These wedges are versatile and pair well with burgers, grilled meats, or as a standalone snack.
