The Best Crispy Zesty Italian
Potato Wedges or Fries
These crispy, flavorful potato wedges are parboiled, dried, and oven-baked for the perfect golden-brown crunch. Coated in olive oil and your homemade Zesty Italian Seasoning, they’re packed with bold, savory flavor in every bite.
Ingredients:
-
4 large russet potatoes, cut into wedges (or thick-cut French fries)
-
Water (for boiling)
-
3 tablespoons olive oil
-
2 tablespoons Zesty Italian Seasoning (or more to taste)
Instructions:
-
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. Carefully add the potato wedges and let them boil for 7 minutes—this helps them cook evenly and develop a soft, fluffy interior.
-
Drain the potatoes immediately and spread them out on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Let them air-dry for a few minutes, then pat them dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture helps them crisp up beautifully in the oven.
-
Transfer the dried wedges to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss until evenly coated. Sprinkle Zesty Italian Seasoning generously over the potatoes, making sure each wedge is well-seasoned.
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the wedges in a single layer with space between them for even cooking.
-
Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wedges are crispy, golden brown, and irresistible.
-
Let them cool slightly before serving, then enjoy these perfectly seasoned, crispy potato wedges as a side dish or snack!
