Ingredients:

• 3 medium russet potatoes, cut into thick wedges

• 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil

• 2 tbsp cornmeal (for extra crunch)

• 1 tsp paprika

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp onion powder

• ¼ tsp dried oregano

• Salt and black pepper to taste

• Optional: pinch of cayenne for heat

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven
   Set your oven to 425°F (or 400°F convection). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly greased foil.

2. Prep the wedges
   Wash and cut potatoes into thick wedges. Pat dry with a clean towel to remove excess moisture.

3. Season and coat
   In a large bowl, toss the wedges with oil, cornmeal, and all seasonings. Make sure each piece is evenly coated.

4. Bake until golden
   Spread wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden on the outside and soft inside.

5. Serve hot
   Sprinkle with extra salt if needed and serve with clean ranch, ketchup, or a spicy dipping sauce.

Sarah’s Tips:

• Air fryer version: Cook at 400°F for 15–18 minutes, shaking halfway.

• Make them cheesy: Sprinkle with grated Parmesan or dairy-free cheese right before serving.

• Batch cook & freeze: Bake once, cool completely, then freeze. Reheat at 425°F for 10–12 minutes.

• Dip ideas: Try Greek yogurt ranch, honey mustard, or a smoky chipotle aioli!
