Mom's Potato Wedge Recipe
Description
The preparation starts by preheating the oven to 450°F and mixing a seasoning blend of sesame seeds, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Potatoes are washed and cut into long wedges with skins intact to maintain texture and nutrients. After coating with foamy egg white, the wedges are arranged skin-side down on a lined baking sheet to promote crispiness on the bottom.
Baking for 30-35 minutes crisps the wedges nicely while cooking through the inside. The seasoning mix imparts savory depth, while the sesame seeds add a subtle nutty crunch. The recipe suggests testing for doneness after 30 minutes and baking a few minutes longer if needed.
Potato wedges can be served plain or with a variety of condiments such as ketchup, ranch, honey mustard, sour cream, or chili sauce. The combination of seasonings and baking method make this a reliably crispy and flavorful option for sides or casual snacks.
Ingredients
- 4 russet potato
- 1 egg beaten, white
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Mix the sesame seeds, garlic and onion powders and salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Wash each potato and leave skin on. Slice potatoes lengthwise. Slice each half in half again and then each piece into two pieces. You should have 8 long slices per potato.
- In a large bowl beat egg white until foamy. Place potato wedges in bowl of beaten egg white and toss to coat.
- Arrange potato wedges skin side down on a lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with seasoning blend and bake 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through, browned and crispy.
- Serve as is or with condiment of choice like catsup (ketchup), Ranch dressing, sweet chili sauce, honey mustard, sour cream or mayo.
Notes
- Baking time may vary based on the size and thickness of potato wedges; check around 30 minutes for desired doneness.
- Keep the potato skins on for added texture and nutrition.
- Serve with condiments such as ketchup, Ranch, sweet chili sauce, honey mustard, sour cream, or mayonnaise.
