Ingredients
  

4 medium russet potatoes

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Optional dip: ranch dressing or sour cream

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high heat is essential for achieving crispy potato wedges.

    Prepare the Potatoes: Rinse the russet potatoes under cold running water, scrubbing the skin thoroughly to remove any dirt. After rinsing, dry them with a kitchen towel. Keeping the skin on for added flavor and texture, slice each potato into wedges—aim for about 8 wedges per potato.

      Season the Wedges: In a spacious mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt until combined. Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them gently in the oil and seasoning mixture, making sure each wedge is evenly coated.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spread the seasoned potato wedges out on the baking sheet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan; this allows hot air to circulate around each wedge, promoting crispiness.

          Bake Until Crispy: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the potato wedges for approximately 30-35 minutes. To ensure they cook evenly, flip the wedges halfway through. They should emerge golden brown and crispy on the outside.

            Garnish and Serve: After baking, remove the wedges from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. If desired, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for an added touch of color and flavor. Serve these delicious wedges hot alongside a dip of ranch dressing or sour cream for an extra creamy contrast.
