BAKED POTATO WEDGES

Seasoning with paprika, garlic and onion powder, salt and pepper makes them super quick to throw together.

HOW TO MAKE POTATO WEDGES
Wedges are a family favourite around here….but I'm sure this isn't the only family. I'm thinking families on a universal or world wide scale have the same love affair with good, crispy Baked Potato Wedges. This week, reading all of the amazing reviews from my Crispy Sweet Potato Wedges with Garlic Avocado Aioli recipe, you were all craving some CRISPY and CRUNCHY wedges. Usually, the wedges we make are the Smokey Mexican Beef Wedges, which are basically Taco smothered wedges.
Since most of you have also been writing in after trying the Crispy Garlic Butter Parmesan Smashed Potatoes, those two flavours had to happen in a wedge. After making potato wedges once, you won't want to be cutting fries any more. BONUS POINTS: These are much quicker and healther-ish, since they're oven baked.
HOW TO CUT WEDGES
Cutting potato wedges is so much easier than cutting fries. Cut a potato in half (shown below). Halve potato, then halve EACH HALF again, so you have 4 pieces.
That's it.
Season them with your favourites. I use minced garlic instead of powdered BUT you CAN use powdered if you so desire. Paprika, parsley and plenty of salt follow, because let's face it, salty potatoes are the best kind of potatoes.
And in 35 minutes, you have wedges. Let me rephrase. CRISPY and crunchy Baked Potato Wedges.
