Baked Potato Wedges - Seasoned potato wedges baked to golden perfection are the perfect appetizer or side dish. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces!
Baked Potato Wedges are the perfect healthy alternative to the traditional fried potato wedge. They are tossed in oil and seasoned with paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and onion powder.
Serve these wedges as an appetizer or a delicious side dish with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch dressing, fry sauce, and more. One of my favorite sauces to serve with fries is a 50/50 mix of ketchup and mayonnaise! I've been making this sauce since I was a kid. It is so delicious!
I served my wedges with my favorite Steakhouse Burger which I will link for you below. You can serve yours with your favorite burgers, sandwiches and more! I will link some of my favorite main courses to serve with these wedges for you below.

Ingredients you need make crispy baked potato wedges at home from scratch:
Russet Potatoes - You'll need about four russet potatoes for this recipe.
Chili Powder - This will add a nice flavor and spice to the seasoning.
Paprika - Smoked or regular paprika both work great in this recipe.
Garlic Powder - Be sure to use garlic powder and not garlic salt to prevent salty wedges.
Salt - Any table salt will work fine. I almost always use sea salt in my recipes.
Onion Powder - Be sure to use regular onion powder and not onion salt.
Oil - Avocado oil is best but you can also use canola oil.
How to make my delicious Baked Potato Wedges:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Slice your russet potatoes in half lengthwise. Working with each half slice the potato in threes at an angle to create a wedge. If your russet potatoes are really large, slice in fours at an angle.
Place potato wedges in a large bowl of water for about 20 minutes to remove starch. Then, drain potatoes.
Toss potatoes in oil and seasonings and fully coat. Scatter potatoes on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes and then carefully flip over. Bake for another 15-20 minutes until wedges puff up and are nice and golden.
Remove wedges from oven and serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
