This side dish of crisp potato wedges is delicious. They have a crunchy outside and a fluffy interior. They complement anything.

I thought they were good but the spices were very heavy for the lightness of the potato. The texture was great. I’ll stick with my other oven fries recipe, though.

It was the best matchup for the dinner I had planned to prepare for my family!!!!! Really great and was perfectly seasoned.
Chris Davidson
Perfect recipe! Easy to make and and delicious Eat then by themselves or as a side with your meal.

This recipe was fairly easy to make, it turned out really crispy as I like it.. my favorite so far. I did put the marinade in a bag then add the potatoes to ensure even distribution. Then I put them on the bake sheet. Perfect outcome

BRINE THE WEDGES!!! I you want crispy, not-spotty, and evenly cooked wedges…you need to brine them in salt water for 1 hour. The rest of the recipe is fine…but without brining the wedges before baking, you’ll have no clue how they will turn out until they are done.

The flavor of these was very good but they did not get crisp at all. The bread crumbs did not stick very well.
Anthony Harrington
Followed this recipe minus the bread crumbs and baked in air fryer! Delish
David Sims
A little spicy but delicious!
Jamie Cole
Both my daughter and I liked the flavor of these, but the bread crumbs made them a bit too crumbly for us. Also, the process of making the marinade and rubbing it onto the potatoes is not something I would care to do again. I think I would take the advice of other reviewers and coat in oil and then just sprinkle the dry ingredients on, or toss in a bag to coat. And I think I would reduce the amount of bread crumbs slightly.

Made it according to instructions how ever, next time I will leave out half the garlic. Personal preference. Other than that, very good side dish.

Flavor wise, decent. Certainly beats a plain wedge. But the instructions for making a marinade, fail. It’s all dry seasoning. Save yourself some trouble and toss the wedges in oil, put on the sheet and season by hand as you do the bread crumbs or panko. That will result in the best evenly seasoned wedges. Mine turned out spotty and where seasoning was heaviest, it burned. I will say, the wedges did turn out crisp for me and unlike so many others mentioned, I did not find them to be overly salty or seasoned at all. All personal taste I suppose.

I’ve made these 3 times now and they are delish!
Brenda Tran
The potatoes did not crisp up enough and it was too salty.
Dr. Anna Robinson
We love this dish! I put all ingredients in a ziplock bag and shake them up, makes for easy clean up! I also use regular size potatoes in place of red ones. Great recipe!
Wesley Moore
Needed more garlic flavor in my opinion, but still good and I liked the crispy outside
Kirsten Blankenship
It was a good side dish. However next time I might use less bread crumbs as well as less salt. A bit overpowering but I would try and make this again!
Amanda Parrish
I will make this again, but will make sure to have long baking potatoes so the wedges actually stand up in the dish – will make the marinade and bread crumbs more consistent after baking/roasting.
David Hawkins
My 11 year old made these wedges tonight and they were AWESOME! He also added rosemary and some curry to the spice mix; DELICIOUS
Holly Johnson
I didn’t have chill powder so I used Cayenne powder. It was a bit spicy but still yummy.
Sydney Parsons
Solid potato wedges. Made exactly as recipe states. We enjoyed this as a change of pace. Will definitely make again.
Laura Long
I guess I was just looking for something with a little more flavor. There’s not too much to differentiate this recipe from many other baked potato wedge recipes that I’ve tried, and that’s not to say that we didn’t like it because we did. The recipe doesn’t state whether or not the bread crumbs should be dried or fresh, so I used plain panko crumbs (maybe the Italian panko crumbs would have brought that flavor I was looking for?). After baking, they definitely need a good sprinkle of salt.
