BEST Potato Wedges Recipe by Creme De La Crumb

 

I just made these to go with our Sunday dinner and they were spectacular!  I had to make them again these are sooo good!

* 2 lbs. red potatoes, I used yellow potatoes **

* 2 Tbsp. oil

* 1 tsp. salt

* 1 tsp. smoked paprika, I only had regular on hand

* 1 tsp. garlic powder

* 1/2 tsp. onion powder

* pinch black pepper

---- I doubled the seasonings 

Dipping Sauce:

* 1/3 c. mayonnaise

* 1/3 c. barbeque sauce (your choice)

Instructions:

1. preheat oven to 450 F. Line large cookie sheet with parchment paper.

2.** cut potatoes into wedges less than 1/2 inch thick on wide edge (I also peeled my potatoes, cut them and then soaked them in salt water for about 2 to 4 hours, then drained them)

3. In a large bowl, combine potato wedges and oil, toss to coat

( I just put everything including seasonings in a gallon bag, then put the potatoes in and just shake until thoroughly coated.

4. Stir together all the seasonings (if not putting them in a gallon bag) and sprinkle over the potato wedges and toss to coat.

5. Put on prepared cookie sheet making sure they are in a single layer and not overlapping, it's ok if some of them are touching

6. Bake 15 minutes.  Remove from oven, turn the wedges over with fork or tongs, and put back in oven for 15 minutes.  Potatoes should be browned and crispy on edge and fork tender.

7. Make dipping sauce and serve with them.
