Craving the crispy, golden potato wedges from McDonald’s? While a trip to the fast-food giant is always an option, making these delicious treats at home can be just as satisfying, and a fun kitchen adventure! Let’s dive in.
Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Optional: Parmesan cheese, parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Set your oven to 400°F. This high temperature is key to getting a crispy exterior.
- Wash and dry the potatoes. Cut them into wedge shapes. You can peel the potatoes if you prefer, but leaving the skin on gives a more authentic texture and additional nutrients.
- In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil. In a small bowl, mix together the seasonings. Sprinkle this seasoning mix over the wedges and toss until evenly coated.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Arrange the potato wedges on the sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded to ensure even cooking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes. Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley for a fun touch.
