Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes, cut into wedges
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into even wedges, approximately 1-inch thick. Try to keep the wedge sizes consistent to ensure uniform cooking.
- Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes, then sprinkle garlic powder and salt. Toss the potatoes until they are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
- Spread the potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Leave space between each wedge to allow for crispy edges.
- Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- Once potatoes are golden brown and crispy, remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with buffalo sauce, tossing to coat evenly.
- Transfer to a serving platter and serve hot, optionally garnishing with chopped parsley or green onions.
Tips
- Choose the right potatoes: Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes work best for achieving that perfect crispy exterior and fluffy interior.
- Cut evenly: Ensure all potato wedges are roughly the same size to guarantee uniform cooking and consistent crispiness.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Give your potato wedges breathing room to help them crisp up instead of steaming.
- Flip halfway through cooking: This ensures even browning and helps create a crispy texture on all sides.
- Adjust buffalo sauce to your heat preference: Start with less sauce and add more if you want an extra spicy kick.
- Serve immediately: These wedges are best enjoyed hot and crispy right after adding the buffalo sauce.
- Optional garnishes: Try topping with blue cheese crumbles, ranch dressing, or chopped green onions for extra flavor.
