The Best Rimmed Baking Sheets
Best Potatoes For Potato Wedges
I recommend using Russet potatoes to make potato wedges because they are high in starch and low in moisture. This makes them ideal for frying and baking compared to other types of potatoes. If you are living in the UK, I would recommend trying a white potato for this recipe. That will be the closest potato to the russet.
How to Cut Potato Wedges
The key to this recipe turning out right is cutting thin enough wedges so they cook well. I get a good 7 to 8 slices out of each potato, and they come out soft in the inside, but with a nice crispiness on the edges.
You want to cut them in half and then in half again and then cut each fourth in half as well. For the best results, try to keep the wedges equal in size so they cook evenly.
Potato Wedges Seasoning
When I first started making this recipe, I used a store-bought grill seasoning. Now I have so many different seasoning recipes published that would be delicious on these roasted potato wedges. I love using my homemade grill seasoning or my Montreal steak seasoning.

Potato Wedges in the Air Fryer
These potato wedges can also be made in the air fryer if you don’t want to heat up you oven. I have a really simple recipe for them that you can find here: Air Fryer Potato Wedges.

Dipping Sauces
These crispy potato wedges can be enjoyed alone, with ketchup, or with your favorite sauce. Here are a few ideas:
Storing and Reheating Leftover Potato Wedges
Store any leftover potato wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat in the oven or air fryer, tossing halfway through.
What to Serve With Potato Wedges
These work as the side of so many different recipes, sandwiches, and burgers, but here are a few of my favorites.
If you make these oven-baked potato wedges or any of my other recipes, I’d love to hear what you think!
Easy Potato Wedges
Ingredients
- 2 large baking potatoes cut thin (about 7 to 8 slices per potato)
- 2 tablespoons grill seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the potatoes, olive oil, and grill seasoning so that the potatoes are well coated.
- Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet with the skin side down. Baking them this way will keep you from needing to flip them half way through baking.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with ketchup, Chick Fil A Sauce, BBQ sauce or ranch dressing.

Do you peel the potatoes first? They look really good. I like recipes with only 3 ingredients.
Nope! One of the things I love best about this recipe.
Bren says
Simple and delicious. I don’t have a lot of confidence in my air fryer, so I appreciated the instructions. Turned out great!
I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed these!

why grilling seasons.. need to give a recipe for the seasonings with this
If you click on the word “grill seasoning” in the recipe card, it will take you to the recipe for it. Otherwise it can be purchased.
Janet says

Sincerely,
Janet
I hope you enjoy it!

What is grill seasoning? Is there a substitute if I don’t have it?
Hi Judith! There is a link in the recipe for how to make your own grill seasoning. You probably already have everything to make it. Otherwise, there is a section in the post with several ideas for other seasonings.
