Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Prep the Potatoes:
Wash and cut the potatoes into wedges. For even cooking, make sure the wedges are roughly the same size. -
Marinate in Pickle Juice:
Place the potato wedges in a large bowl and pour the dill pickle juice over them. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for an extra tangy punch. -
Season the Wedges:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Drain the potato wedges from the pickle juice and pat them dry. Toss them in olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. -
Bake to Crispy Perfection:
Arrange the wedges on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they are spaced out. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the edges. -
Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle with fresh dill or parsley for an extra burst of flavor and color. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce—ranch or garlic aioli works beautifully.
Tips for Perfect Wedges
-
Don’t skip the pickle juice soak: It infuses the potatoes with a tangy flavor that makes them irresistible.
-
Dry the wedges well: Excess moisture prevents crispiness.
-
Adjust spices: Feel free to experiment with cayenne pepper, onion powder, or even a dash of chili flakes for a spicy kick.
