Method

5 steps
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. 2

    Coat baking sheet with cooking spray.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, combine potato wedges with oil, seasoning, and salt; toss to coat well.

  4. 4

    Spread potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet.

  5. 5

    Bake without turning until tender and browned, about 40-45 minutes.

Good to Know

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container up to 3 days. Reheat on a baking sheet at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes to restore crispness.

Make Ahead

Cut potatoes and store in water up to 8 hours to prevent browning. Pat dry and proceed with tossing and baking when ready.

Serve With

Serve hot as a side dish with burgers, grilled fish, or sandwiches.

Common Mistakes

Watch

Do not skip the single layer spread to avoid steaming; crowding the pan creates soft rather than browned fries.

Watch

Do not use waxy potatoes to avoid dense texture; starchy baking potatoes crisp better.
