Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup buffalo sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 3
Cut each potato into wedges by slicing it in half lengthwise, then into quarters, and finally into eighths, creating even-sized wedges.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the potato wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to ensure even cooking.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, turning the wedges halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Step 7
While the wedges are baking, prepare the buffalo sauce by melting the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, stir in the buffalo sauce until fully combined, then remove from heat.
Step 8
Once the potato wedges are done baking, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the wedges and gently toss to coat evenly.
Step 9
Serve the buffalo potato wedges immediately with ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
