Ingredients- 5 Potatoes
- 2 Tbsp Butter
- 1 tsp Herb Salt or Salt
- 1 tsp Dried Parsley
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gather all the ingredients for the recipe. You’ll need potatoes that have been thoroughly washed, softened butter, fragrant herb salt (or regular salt), and dried parsley.
Step 2
Since we’re cooking the potatoes with their skins on, scrub them clean using baking soda or coarse salt. It’s important to wash away all dirt and debris thoroughly.
Step 3
Now, let’s cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. For larger potatoes, cut them into 4 wedges, and for smaller ones, cut them into 6 wedges. Cutting them into a V-shape, like wedges, helps them cook evenly and become extra crispy in the oven.
Step 4
Place the cut potato wedges in a bowl of cold water for about 5 minutes to soak out excess starch. This step helps to achieve a crispier exterior and prevents the wedges from sticking together.
Step 5
Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander after soaking. Ensure all the water is removed, as any remaining moisture can make the wedges soggy. You can also pat them dry with paper towels for extra crispiness.
Step 6
To the dried potato wedges, add the prepared herb salt (or salt), dried parsley, and the softened butter (either melted or at room temperature).
Step 7
Using your hands or a spatula, toss the potato wedges to ensure the butter and seasonings are evenly coated. Make sure each piece is well-coated for maximum flavor. This is key to delicious wedges!
Step 8
Lightly grease a baking sheet with butter to prevent the potato wedges from sticking. Arrange the seasoned wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping. Overlapping can lead to uneven cooking.
Step 9
Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on your oven. Flipping them halfway through will ensure more even browning.
Step 10
Once the potato wedges are golden brown and crispy around the edges, they are ready! Your delicious butter-baked potato wedges are complete. Enjoy them hot right out of the oven for the best texture and flavor.
Step 11
For those who love cheese, sprinkle some Parmesan cheese over the wedges during the last few minutes of baking, or right after they come out of the oven, for an extra cheesy and flavorful twist!
