Old Bay Potato Wedges

I was at a restaurant while on the road for an appearance when I glanced at a menu and saw “Old Bay Potato Wedges.” Though the idea seemed perfect, I knew they’d be fried. So instead of ordering them, I immediately texted Stephanie, my Test Kitchen Goddess, and told her we needed to make them. Within days, we created our version, which makes me way happier and more satisfied than any fried version ever could.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes 2 servings

Ingredients

2 medium baking potatoes (about 8 ounces each), scrubbed and towel-dried
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
3/4 teaspoon 30% less sodium Old Bay seasoning
Sea salt, to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Step 2

    Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Cut each half into 4 wedges, creating 16 wedges total. In a small glass or plastic mixing bowl, toss the wedges with the olive oil and Old Bay. Place them on the baking sheet in a single layer, not touching. Bake them 20 minutes, and then flip them and bake them an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are tender on the inside and golden brown on the outside. Season with salt. Serve immediately.
