These crispy baked potato wedges are a delightful side dish or snack, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy texture.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into evenly sized wedges.
Uniform wedges cook evenly, so aim for similar sizes.
In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Mixing the spices with the oil ensures even coating on the potatoes.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss until they are well coated with the spice mixture.
Use your hands or a spatula to ensure every wedge is coated.
Arrange the wedges on a baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Spacing the wedges allows for better air circulation and crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Flipping ensures even browning on all sides.
Serve the wedges hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Serving immediately preserves the crispiness of the wedges.
