Ingredients
  

4 large russet potatoes

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Wash and Cut Potatoes: Thoroughly wash the russet potatoes. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, and then cut each half into wedges (about 6-8 per potato, depending on size).

      Soak in Water: Soak the potato wedges in cold water for about 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch, leading to crispier wedges. After 30 minutes, drain and pat them dry with paper towels.

        Season the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and sea salt. Add the dried potato wedges to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potato wedges out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not touching, as this helps achieve maximum crispiness.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, turning the wedges halfway through to ensure even browning. They should be golden brown and crispy when done.

              Garnish (Optional): If you like, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley on top of the crispy wedges right before serving.

                Serve: Enjoy the crispy ranch potato wedges hot, paired with a dipping sauce of your choice, like ranch dressing or ketchup!
