Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes, cut into wedges
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly under cool running water, scrubbing gently to remove any dirt. Pat the potatoes dry completely with clean kitchen towels to ensure crispy edges.
- Cut each potato lengthwise into even wedges, approximately 1-inch thick. Try to keep the wedges uniform in size to ensure even cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, Sriracha sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended.
- Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss thoroughly, ensuring each wedge is evenly coated with the Sriracha oil mixture.
- Arrange the potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded or touching each other.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning the wedges halfway through cooking to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- Check the potatoes for doneness by piercing with a fork. They should be golden brown on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Remove from the oven and let the wedges rest for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow them to crisp up slightly.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or green onions and serve immediately with additional Sriracha sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips
- Pat the potatoes completely dry before seasoning to ensure maximum crispiness.
- Use russet potatoes for the best texture and crisp exterior.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet - give each wedge some space to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Flip the wedges halfway through cooking to get an evenly crisp result.
- Let the wedges rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow them to crisp up further.
- Experiment with the Sriracha level - add more or less depending on your spice tolerance.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and temperature.
- For extra flavor, try adding a sprinkle of parmesan cheese or smoked paprika to the seasoning mix.
