Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Cut potatoes into ½-inch thick wedges. The key is to not make them too thick, or they'll take quite a bit longer to bake. Lay them on the baking sheet, sprinkle with potato starch, nutritional yeast, paprika, salt, chili powder, and black pepper, pour in the remaining oil, and toss potatoes with your hands until evenly coated.
  3. Spread out into a single layer, with space between potatoes (transferring some to an additional sheet if necessary) and bake for 10 minutes, then give them a shake and a toss, and bake for another 8 to 10 minutes until crispy and golden on all sides. Serve immediately as a side, or snack with condiments of choice.

Notes

  • Don't overcrowd the tray. This is the key to crispy potatoes. Be sure there's plenty of room between them, even using two trays if necessary.
  • Cut the potatoes into even-sized wedges for even cooking.
  • Serve up immediately with your favorite dipping sauces! Such as spicy ketchup, vegan garlic sauce, or vegan nacho cheese sauce.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to five days and reheat on a baking tray in the oven at 350° F for about 10-15 minutes.
