These crispy healthy garlic herb potato wedges are a quick and easy homemade snack that balances crispiness and bold flavor with wholesome ingredients. Perfect for snacks, sides, or gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium russet potatoes
  • 2–3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme mix)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • Sea salt to taste
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, keeping the skin on.
  3. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3–4 wedges of uniform thickness.
  4. Place the wedges in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle cornstarch over them. Toss gently to coat all sides.
  5. Drizzle olive oil over the wedges. Add garlic powder, minced fresh garlic, dried Italian herbs, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat evenly.
  6. Arrange the wedges in a single layer on a prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded or overlapping.
  7. Bake for 25 minutes, then flip each wedge carefully using a spatula or tongs.
  8. Bake for another 15 minutes or until wedges are golden brown and crisp on the edges. Optionally, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end for extra crispiness, watching closely.
  9. Remove from oven and sprinkle fresh parsley over the wedges. Toss lightly or serve as is.

Notes

For extra crispiness, pat potatoes dry before coating with cornstarch and oil. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to prevent sogginess. Flip wedges halfway through baking for even browning. Fresh herbs added after baking preserve brightness. Can broil briefly for extra crunch. Variations include adding cayenne for spice or Parmesan for cheesy crust.
