Ingredients
  

4 medium russet potatoes

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Optional dip: ranch dressing or sour cream

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help achieve that perfect crispy texture.

    Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly under running water. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Leaving the skin on, cut each potato into wedges (about 8 wedges per potato).

      Season the Wedges: In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Toss the potato wedges in the oil and seasoning mixture until they are well coated.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they aren’t overcrowded, as this will help them crisp up.

          Bake Until Crispy: Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through to ensure even cooking. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside.

            Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the wedges from the oven, and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot with ranch dressing or sour cream for dipping.
