Better Than Fries — Crispy, Tasty, and Super Easy


Crispy Oven-Baked Potato Wedges

If you want a lighter alternative to traditional fries without sacrificing flavor or crunch, these oven-baked potato wedges are the answer. They’re crispy on the outside, tender inside, and packed with bold seasoning—perfect for snacking, sides, or sharing. Best of all, they’re simple to make with everyday ingredients.


Ingredients

  • Potatoes: 4 medium potatoes, scrubbed clean (leave skins on for extra texture and nutrients)
  • Eggs: 2 large eggs
  • Salt: 1 teaspoon
  • Cumin: ½ teaspoon
  • Paprika: ½ teaspoon (optional, for smoky flavor)
  • Garlic powder: ½ teaspoon (optional, for savory depth)

Instructions

Step 1: Heat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

Step 2: Prep the Potatoes
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut each one into evenly sized wedges to ensure they cook at the same rate. Keeping the skins on adds extra crunch and nutrition.

Step 3: Mix the Coating
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Add the salt, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder, then stir until the seasonings are fully incorporated.

Step 4: Coat the Wedges
Add the potato wedges to the egg mixture and gently toss until each piece is evenly coated.

Step 5: Bake
Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them for maximum crispiness.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.

Serve hot and enjoy a crunchy, flavorful alternative to classic fries.
