    How to make baked potato wedges

    A large cutting board with russet potatoes and showing the different step to cut the potatoes into long wedges.

    Wash, then cut the potatoes lengthwise into halves and then each half into four slices. 

    Place the potato wedges into a large bowl and then cover with water. Let the potatoes soak in the water for 15 minutes.

    Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, place the oil and spices and mix together.

    Drain the water off the potatoes and pat dry, then add them to the oil mixture. Use a large spoon or use your hands and stir the potatoes until they are coated with the oil mixture.

    How to store

    Store leftover potato wedges in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

    To reheat: Bake in a 375°F oven for 15 minutes until warm and crispy. These can also be fried in a skillet with a bit of oil or air-fried for a few minutes.

    To Freeze: Once completely cooled, place them in a freezer bag and remove as much air as possible. Flatten out the potatoes in the bag and freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, bake frozen potato wedges in a 400°F oven for 15-18 minutes until warm and crispy.

      We really liked these–and how much simpler they were to make than oven fries. My toddler made happy noises when eating them, whether fresh or leftover.
