Ingredients
- 2 pounds russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chicken wing seasoning, click link for the recipe, or find it below in the notes
- ¼ cup buffalo sauce
Instructions
- Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 6-8 wedges.
- Optional: for extra-crispy results, soak the cut wedges in a bowl of cold water for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour, to remove excess starch.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. (Use convection if available.)
- Dry the potatoes thoroughly with paper towels, then add them to a mixing bowl with olive oil, chicken wing seasoning, and buffalo sauce. Toss until they’re evenly coated.
- Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on a wire rack on top of one or two large baking sheets.
- Bake the potatoes in the oven for 30-40 minutes.
Notes
- Air fryer option: add the potato wedges in an even layer in an air fryer basket (you'll have to do this in 3-4 batches). Air fry at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, flip and cook for another 10-12 minutes at 400°F.
- Chicken wing seasoning: combine 1/2 tablespoon chili powder, 1/2 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper.
- This recipe makes approximately 4 dozen potato wedges, perfect for an appetizer or side dish for 6-8 people.
- If you don't have a wire rack to cook the potatoes on, line your baking sheet with parchment paper before baking the potato wedges, and flip them half way through the cooking time.
- This recipe is great for making buffalo seasoned potato wedges, but you can also use it to make other flavors of potato wedges. Simply omit the buffalo sauce, then swap in the following seasonings for the chicken wing seasoning to make different flavors.
- Traditional potato wedges: use fry seasoning
- Ranch seasoned potato wedges: use ranch seasoning
