Ingredients
To make these flavorful potato wedges, you will need:
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 12 slices of bacon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley for garnish
Optional dipping sauces:
- Ranch dressing
- Sour cream
- Cheese sauce
- Spicy mayo
- Barbecue sauce
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
Start by washing the potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Since the skins stay on, scrub them well to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Cut each potato lengthwise into wedges. Depending on the size of the potatoes, you should get about 6 to 8 wedges from each one. Try to keep the wedges similar in thickness so they cook evenly.
Place the wedges into a large bowl.
Step 2: Season the Wedges
Drizzle the olive oil over the potato wedges. Toss them gently until all pieces are lightly coated.
In a small bowl, combine:
- Garlic powder
- Paprika
- Onion powder
- Salt
- Black pepper
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potatoes and toss again until every wedge is evenly covered.
The seasoning helps create a flavorful crust while enhancing the smoky bacon taste later during roasting.
