Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Wash and scrub the potatoes clean, then cut each potato into 8 wedges.

In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil and salt until evenly coated.

Arrange the wedges on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are in a single layer, skin-side down.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the wedges are golden and crispy.

Let cool slightly before serving hot with your favorite dipping sauces.

For an added twist, sprinkle the wedges with some garlic powder and freshly ground black pepper before baking. If you’re feeling adventurous, a dash of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper will add a gentle kick. For a sweet-and-savory touch, try adding a pinch of brown sugar to the mix. You can even swap out the russet potatoes for sweet potatoes or Yukon golds for a different flavor and texture.
