These crispy potato wedges are seasoned with a delightful blend of spices and herbs, making them a perfect side dish or snack.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and crispiness.
In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, seasoning salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, chili powder, and freshly ground black pepper.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into wedges, each potato yielding eight pieces.
Uniform wedges ensure even cooking.
Toss the potato wedges in the seasoning mixture until they are well coated.
Use your hands for better coating if needed.
Arrange the seasoned wedges on a baking sheet in a single layer, skin side down.
Spacing them out prevents steaming and promotes crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden brown and tender.
Check for doneness by piercing with a fork; it should go in easily.
Serve the wedges warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for added color and flavor.
