Look no further, this is the best method for making extra crispy potato wedges in the oven! The exterior is extra crispy and the insides are fluffy and tender – the texture is so amazing!  This technique is inspired by April Bloomfield’s Thrice-Cooked Fries recipe, which are simply the best french fries you will ever have in your life, but the technique is high maintenance since you boil the potatoes, then deep fry them twice. I’ve simplified the technique and converted it for the oven, these are cooked twice, and there’s no deep frying involved. There’s a huge difference in texture from standard oven fries, which have a tough exterior, instead of a crispy exterior – boiling them first with salt and baking soda helps create the extra crispy texture when you roast them in the oven.

The best recipe for extra crispy oven potato wedges.

Ingredients

  • 2.5 lbs Russet Potatoes, cut into ¾ inch wedges
  • ⅓ Cup Olive Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Fine Sea Salt + more for seasoning
  • 2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • Ground Black Pepper
  • Garlic Powder

Method

  • 1)

    Add the potato wedges to a large bowl of cold water and set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil, add 2 Tablespoons Salt and 2 Teaspoons Baking Soda. Drain & add the potato wedges to the boiling water and boil until the exterior is slightly tender, about 7-9 minutes (water will drop to a simmer and that’s ok). Drain well and let them cool for about 5 minutes.

  • 2)

    Pre-heat oven to 450°F. In a large bowl, add ⅓ Cup Olive Oil, salt, black pepper and garlic powder (all to taste), drained potato wedges, toss to coat the wedges evenly. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and place the wedges on the baking sheet in a single layer.

  • 3)

    Roast in 450°F oven for about 50 minutes total. After 20 minutes, flip the potato wedges (if they look dry, drizzle on a little more olive oil over the wedges) and cook for another 15 minutes, flip one last time and put back in for another 15 minutes. Garnish with finely chopped parsley or chives if you prefer. Enjoy!
