What you need for this Potato Wedges Recipe

Equipment: a bowl for pre soaking potatoes so they can release their starches. Kitchen towels to dry and rub potato wedges after soaking.

These are the other ingredients that you will need:

Potatoes: I use Yukon gold these yellow potatoes really make the most amazing texture for our wedges. You can also use whatever potatoes you like and want. Red potatoes will work as well.

Seasonings: garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika and oregano.

You can use any oil, but olive oil with its deep savory flavor is my favorite.

How to make Potato Wedges

Preheat oven to 410F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Clean, wash and rub your potatoes and I like to use the skin for a great texture. If you wish to peel them, go ahead. Cut potatoes into wedges.

Fill a bowl with water and place potato wedges into it. Soak them for around 20 minutes. Potatoes will fully release starches and that makes a really amazing texture.

Drain potatoes and use paper towels to dry them. Then, in a bowl combine potato wedges, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic, onion powder and oregano.

Distribute potato wedges evenly on the baking sheet and bake them for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes turn and shake them and bake for 10 minutes more. Season with a pinch salt and pepper.

Tips and tricks

Wedges are best and most delicious fresh.

You can freeze them for around 3 months: Bake them, let cool completely and freeze in bigger or single portions. Reheat them after thawing in the oven for 15 minutes or desired temperature is reached.

If you do not want to soak them, you can skip this step, but the result won’t be as great texture wise.
