Ingredients

  • 4 to 5 medium russet potatoes, about 2 to 2 ½ pounds, scrubbed clean
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons potato seasoning
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil, or bake directly on the pan for extra crispiness.
  • Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4 to 6 wedges, depending on size. Try to keep them as even as possible (about ¾-inch thick at the widest part) so they bake evenly.
  • Place the wedges in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for 20 to 30 minutes (or up to 1 hour) to remove excess starch for crispier results.
  • Drain well and pat the wedges completely dry using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. This step is key for crispiness.
  • Return the dry wedges to the bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss until evenly coated.
  • Sprinkle with potato seasoning and toss again until all wedges are well coated.
  • Spread the wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they are not touching. Place them cut-side down for the best browning (use two pans if needed).
  • Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the wedges and continue baking for another 15 to 25 minutes, until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  • Remove from the oven and finish with a sprinkle of extra potato seasoning and fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
