• Garlic Powder: adds a robust and savory flavor to your wedges.
• Onion Powder: is both savory and sweet and blends together well with the other spices. 
• Smoked Paprika: is mild, smoky and has a hint of sweetness while providing the color to the seasoning mix.

• Cayenne Pepper: is the ingredient that adds a bit of heat to the mix. This ingredient is optional, and you can add more or less depending on personal preference.

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ

Can I Use Different Types of Potato for this Recipe?

Yes, however, I would suggest using russet potatoes for this recipe. They are the starchiest type of potato, which makes them perfect for making potato wedges. You could try using Yukon Gold or red potatoes, but I don't think they will hold up as well.

Do I Need to Leave the Skin On?

For this recipe, I highly recommend leaving the skin on. This helps add to the rustic flavor and helps with adding an extra crunch to the wedges. 

Can I Make these Potato Wedges Ahead of Time? 

For the best results, I do not recommend making these in advance. Freshly baked wedges taste better and have a better texture. 

What Dipping Sauces Can I Use with These Crispy Potato Wedges?

There are so many sauces that will go well with these potato wedges. I recommend using one of your favorite dipping sauces like, blackened ranch, blue cheese dressing, ketchup, or a tangy BBQ sauce. You can also dip them in a delicious garlic aioli.

Can I Make these Wedges Spicy?

Yes! All you have to do is add a bit more cayenne pepper into your seasoning mix. Be careful though, a little bit goes a long way! You can also add chili powder or even dip your potato wedges into buffalo sauce for a spicy kick.

How Do I Store Leftover Potato Wedges?

Once you have finished baking your potatoes, make sure to allow them to cool completely. Then, transfer them to an airtight container to store in the fridge. They will stay fresh for several days. It is not recommended to freeze these wedges as the texture may be different when they are thawed.

How Do I Reheat these Copycat Buffalo Wild Wings Potato Wedges?

It’s super easy to reheat your wedges. The best way that I have found is to place them in the oven for a few minutes until they regain their crispiness. I don’t recommend warming them up in the microwave as they will be very soggy.
