I have been making these oven baked potato wedges over and over this summer! Everyone loves a good fry, but I haaaaaaaate frying stuff. Not because I’m healthy and don’t like oil {hello, butter in all my recipes!} but because I hate cleaning up the oil mess! These oven-baked potato wedges are the answer! They are amazing, and they are easy to re-heat and serve crispy if you have leftovers.

I based the coating, seasoning and baking method after my all-time favorite BEST baked fried chicken recipe by Jen at Carlsbad Cravings {and she isn’t kidding when she says it’s the best ya’ll}.

I love how the oven baked potato wedges turned out! They had just the right amount of crunch.

In the recipe, I dot butter over the potatoes before baking them in the oven. If you are trying to cut the calories, you can omit that step and they will bake up fine, BUT they will be slightly dry. The butter helps with the browning but also makes the coating crispy and “fried” tasting instead of dry.

I like butter better than oil for this step because it does brown and crisp up more quickly than oil. Fun chemistry fact: The temperature at which a fat smokes is called the smoke point. Oils tend to have a higher smoke point, so they are great for dishes that need a high temp for a longer period of time.

Butter has a lower smoke point, meaning it smokes {and can burn!} and a much lower temperature. That is why some recipes call for a mix of butter and oil when you want to brown something, but not have the fat burn.

Anyways, these fries are delicious! And the perfect light summer side dish. If you’re wondering…the sauce in the photos is what we Utahan’s call “fry sauce.” It is life changing but just ketchup and mayo mixed together. HA! I like a nice 60:40 ratio of ketchup to mayo. You can kick it up a notch by adding some hot sauce or herbs.  You’re welcome.

Notes

The potato wedges can be made omitting the butter, they will just come out more dry.
The potato wedges can be reheated in the oven on broil (middle rack) for 5-8 minutes.

    These were seriously the bomb! I loved the crispy coating and the yummy spices (I didn’t have rosemary so I used something called herbs de provance that I found in the back of my spice cupboard – it was a good choice). Also, I didn’t want to heat up my house with the oven so I pulled out my disposable casserole pan that I’ve been reusing over and over and cooked them out on the grill. Worked like a charm! My husband and kids gobbled these up and asked for more. We’ll be making and eating them again, that is for sure.
