Equipment

  • Large baking sheet
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Sharp Knife
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Blender or Food Processor
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pounds Russet Potatoes
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt for potatoes
  • 0.75 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons oregano
  • 0.75 teaspoon paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes adjust to taste
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves chopped, for garnish
  • 3 Hass avocados for crema
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt for crema
  • 2 scallions chopped
  • 1 green chili or jalapeno optional
  • 0.5 cup cilantro leaves packed, for crema
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 0.5 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil plus extra for tossing wedges

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for crispy wedges.
  • Wash Russet potatoes thoroughly and cut each in half lengthwise, then slice halves into uniform wedges.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, cumin, and chili flakes. Add potato wedges and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
  • Spread seasoned wedges in a single layer on a large baking sheet without overcrowding.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy on edges.
  • While baking, prepare Avocado Crema by blending avocados, salt, chopped scallions, green chili, cilantro leaves, lime juice, sour cream, and olive oil until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Remove baked wedges from oven, let cool slightly, then serve warm with a drizzle of Avocado Crema or use as a dip. Garnish with extra chopped cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • For a cheesy twist, sprinkle Parmesan cheese over wedges during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  • Use sweet potatoes instead of Russets for a sweeter, healthier variation.
  • Store baked wedges in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
