Tips and Tricks
Preparing Potatoes
Cut the baking potatoes into uniform wedges to ensure even cooking. Aim for about 12 wedges per potato, which helps them cook through and crisp up nicely.
Mixing the Spices
Combine the cinnamon, paprika, salt, cumin, cayenne, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Mixing the spices thoroughly before adding to the potatoes ensures even seasoning.
Coating the Potatoes
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil first to ensure they are well-coated. This helps the spices stick better and promotes even browning.
Applying Spices
After coating the potatoes with olive oil, sprinkle the spice mixture over the wedges. Toss them again to ensure all sides of the potatoes are evenly coated with the spices.
Baking
Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. This ensures they bake evenly and get crispy. Crowding the pan can lead to steaming rather than roasting.
Turning the Potatoes
After 20 minutes of baking, turn the potato wedges to ensure they crisp up on all sides. Bake for an additional 8 to 10 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the spiced potato wedges hot, straight from the oven. They make a great side dish for grilled meats, sandwiches, or burgers. You can also serve them with a dipping sauce like ketchup, aioli, or ranch dressing.
Storing Leftovers
Store any leftover potato wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven at 375°F until warmed through and crispy.
Customizing the Recipe
Feel free to customize the spices to your taste. For a different flavor profile, you can add or substitute spices such as smoked paprika, chili powder, or dried herbs like rosemary or thyme. You can also adjust the amount of cayenne pepper for more or less heat.
Ensuring Crispiness
For extra crispy wedges, you can soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before tossing them with oil and spices. This helps remove excess starch and promotes crispiness. Be sure to pat them dry thoroughly before adding the oil and spices.
