This is a little weird, but I like to let the potatoes sit for about 10 minutes after taking them out of the oven. They get a little softer, both inside and outside. I’m guessing everyone else likes them crispy on the outside, so feel free to skip that step!

These crispy and spicy potato wedges are the ideal side to almost any dish!
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 pounds (1.13 kg) potatoes 1
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced (or maybe 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 3/4 teaspoon salt (I have to admit that I end up adding a lot more)
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 450°F / 230°C. Pour the olive oil onto a rimmed cookie sheet. Add the spices and mix with the olive oil.
- Clean the potatoes and slice the potato into even wedges. Put the potatoes on the cookie sheet and use your hands to coat the potatoes with the olive oil mix.
- The baking time will vary depending on how big your wedges are. I usually bake mine for 20 minutes, take them out of the oven to flip them, and bake for another 10 – 15 minutes. If you want them crispier, just bake them for a few minutes longer.
- This is if you want them really spicy. If you don’t love super spicy, I’d use that amount of spice for 3 pounds.

I absolutely DISAGREE :D with you saying these are NO GOOD reheated!! In the morning I cut them up (the leftovers) and I throw them in a skillet with a bit of butter and cook them until they're golden delicious!! Sometimes I mix them with Scrambled eggs, or crack fried eggs on top… :D Potatoes are so versatile!
I am going to make some of these tonight now :D
Haha. I'm happy you liked them! And even reheated! Sorry for the slow reply. I'm a bit behind with just about everything. Anyway, thanks for the tip and the feedback! I really appreciate it. :)
Dwaun – Aww, that's sweet. I hope your future woman loves them. :)
Spicy Potato wedges is what I will make sometimes,
Eventually. I can date a woman, who would make that with me and fall right in love.
Anon – Thanks for your tip! I'm happy you enjoy the potatoes. I have some lemon, rosemary and garlic potato wedges in the oven but now I'm wishing I would have made these. They're so yummy! Thanks again for the feedback. :)
Make these all the time – red potatoes work too. I usually mix the oil and spices in a plastic bag and then add the potatoes – not so messy! Just toss the bag after you put on cookie sheet!
Aww, that's sweet. :) Thanks for the feedback! I'm happy to hear that someone liked them.
These are delicious! Made them several times, my girlfriend loves me more each time :)
Let me know how they turned out! I hope you're enjoying them. :)
I'm making this. The potatoes are in the oven right now. I hope I'm making it the right way so it would turn out delicious. Thanks for sharing this :)
I haven't had a decent potato wedge in ages! I love how yours have a spicy kick and a crispy around the edges =)
You're welcome! I hope you like them if you get around to making them. :)
These sound lovely! I love trying new potato recipes. Thanks!
Thanks Regan! I took a look at your page (also lovely!) and I don't think you have too many whole grain posts at all. And you definitely offer a lot of variety! I will check out the new site. Thanks for letting me know and for stopping by. :)
Just found your blog from Caroline's and it's lovely! I've been a threat to post a "tad" too many "Whole Grain" posts lately myself… so thanks for the reminder & potato inspiration.
FYI… we just launched a new food photo sharing site at http://www.healthyaperture.com. I'm sure the editorial team would be honored if you submitted some of your pics. There are a lot of lovely ones on here!
Becca – Me too! Potato wedges ruined fries for me. I'm just not interested in them unless there's nothing else to eat.
Miryam – What do you eat? Spanish food? I don't think of these wedges as being good for Thanksgiving, but if you like spicy at Thanksgiving, then why not! :)
So simple and so good…this could be a good contender for a side dish for thanksgiving given the fact that we don't do turkey :-)
They look really yummy!
I love, love, love potato wedges. I would take them over fries any day of the week, any month of the year. These particular ones look very delicious.
