This Potato Wedges Recipe is coated in spices and seasonings, roasted until golden brown on the outside, and fluffy and tender in the middle.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds russet potatoes
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic granules
- 2 teaspoons onion granules

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°.
- Cut the rinsed and scrubbed potatoes into wedges by cutting them in half, in half again, and in half one more time.

- Place them on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper in a single layer cut side down.

Notes
Make-Ahead: These are meant to be eaten within an hour of you making them. However, you can keep them covered in foil and in the oven at low temperatures (<200°) for up to 30 minutes before serving.
How to Store: Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They do not freeze well, so I advise against freezing them, as they will be too mushy upon thawing.
How to Reheat: Place the potato wedges in a pan or on a sheet tray with parchment paper and bake at 350° for 8 to 10 minutes or until warm and crispy.
If your only option is to freeze the potatoes, I recommend cutting them and adding them to a soup once they’re thawed.
Make sure the potato wedges are in a single layer. If need be, add another to a separate sheet tray lined with parchment paper or to a large frying pan.
