Oven Baked Potato Wedges

If you’re looking for the perfect side dish that’s golden, crispy, and full of flavor, these Oven Baked Potato Wedges are it. They’re easy to make, budget-friendly, and baked instead of fried, making them a little lighter but still perfectly satisfying.

Tossed with garlic salt, smoked paprika, and seasoned salt, every bite is packed with savory flavor. Whether you’re serving them with burgers, chicken, or just snacking with your favorite dip, these potato wedges will quickly become a family favorite.

Just like our popular Garlic Parmesan Roasted Potatoes and Oven Baked French Fries, these wedges are all about big flavor with simple ingredients. They’re crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and so good you’ll want to make a double batch.

Ingredients

• 2 large baking potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
• 2 tbsp olive oil (or a mix of oil and melted butter for richer flavor)
• 1 tsp garlic salt
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp seasoned salt

Instructions

1. Prep the Pan – Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease or line a baking sheet. Spread the oil and melted butter directly on the sheet for extra crispiness.
2. Prepare the Potatoes – Wash, peel, and cut the potatoes into evenly sized wedges so they bake evenly.
3. Season – Place the wedges on the prepared sheet and sprinkle with garlic salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and seasoned salt. Toss to coat each wedge with oil and seasoning.
4. Bake – Arrange wedges in a single layer on the sheet. Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
5. Serve – Enjoy hot out of the oven with ketchup, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce.
