Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut each one into equally sized wedges, about 8 per potato, ensuring they are roughly the same thickness for even cooking.
  3. Place the potato wedges into a large mixing bowl and add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and olive oil.

  4. Toss everything together until the wedges are evenly coated with the oil and spices, making sure the spices stick well to the potato surfaces.
  5. Spread the seasoned wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they aren’t crowded for maximum crispiness.
  6. Place the baking sheet into the oven and roast for about 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
  7. Remove the wedges from the oven, and let them sit for a few minutes to crisp up slightly as they cool.
  8. Serve the smoky roasted potato wedges hot, perfect as a snack or side dish with your favorite dipping sauce or simply on their own.
