Olive oil coats wedges evenly and promotes browning; choose extra-virgin for richer flavor.
Garlic salt delivers garlic flavor alongside salt. Use less if you prefer control over sodium.
Black pepper is best freshly ground for a mild bite and earthy warmth.
Dried parsley flakes add subtle herb freshness and green color.

How to Make Roasted Potato Wedges

Step 3: Season
Place the potatoes into a large bowl and mix with the rest of the ingredients until each piece is evenly coated.

Step 4: Arrange for baking

Expert Tips
- Make sure the potato wedges are completely dry before mixing with the spices and oil. That way, they will remain crispy.
- Use a heavy baking sheet to help absorb heat and form better-crisp crusts on the seasoned potatoes.
- For a well-rounded home cooked meal, serve these potato wedges with an oven-baked salmon dish.
- Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley, chives, or cilantro after baking for a bright garnish.
- For an extra savory flavor, sprinkle some Parmesan cheese atop the potato wedges in the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Arrange the wedges in a single layer and be sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Recipe FAQs
Soak the cut wedges in cold water for 20 minutes before drying and seasoning.
Cool the wedges completely and store in airtight containers in the fridge. To reheat, roast gently in a hot oven (300F) or air fry for best texture.
Try garlic aioli, spicy ketchup, honey-mustard, or tzatziki.
