Crispy Garlic Baked Potato Wedges (+ Air Fryer Method)
Description
Crispy Garlic Baked Potato Wedges begin by cutting potatoes into wedges and coating them with oil, salt, chili powder, paprika, and optionally potato starch to enhance crispness. Baking at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15-20 minutes, with garlic sprinkled halfway through, develops golden, crisp wedges with a soft interior.
The seasoning mixture provides a mildly spicy and smoky flavor, balanced with fresh garlic added later to avoid bitterness. Tossing with chopped fresh parsley after baking adds a bright herbal note and visual appeal. Salt and pepper can be adjusted to taste before serving.
The recipe includes options for vegan enhancements like nutritional yeast or dairy-free parmesan substitutes for a garlic parmesan style. It also suggests variations using seasoning blends or chimichurri sauce for added flavor. The wedges pair well with various condiments and can be topped with vegan cheese or seasoned for nacho-style fries.
The dish is versatile, suitable for baking or air frying, offering a way to achieve crispy potato wedges with garlic infused flavor and fresh herb finish.
Ingredients
- 4-5 red potato cut into small wedges, or small russet potatoes
- 1 Tablespoon canola oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 2 Tablespoons potato starch optional, for extra crispiness
- ¼ cup parsley chopped, fresh
- 1-2 Tablespoons garlic finely chopped
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Cut potatoes into small wedges and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with salt, chili powder (or pepper), paprika, and potato starch if using. You could do this step in a bowl and mix it all there. Toss well to coat and spread in one even layer on the tray.
- Bake for 10 minutes, remove the tray from the oven and springle the garlic. Put back in the oven and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes until fries are crispy and golden brown.
- Toss with fresh parsley, adding additional salt and pepper to taste, if needed. Serve immediately with condiments of choice.
Notes
- Nutritional yeast or dairy-free parmesan can be added to make vegan garlic parmesan flavor.
- Enhance flavor with herbs such as rosemary, thyme, oregano, or Italian seasoning.
- Use seasoning blends like Cajun or taco for different spice profiles.
- Try topping with vegan ground 'beef', salsa, avocado, and vegan sour cream for vegan nacho fries.
- Adding vegan cheese and broiling until melted makes a vegan cheesy variation.
