Ingredients
Potatoes
- 2 pounds russet potatoes
Seasoning and Sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chicken wing seasoning
- ¼ cup buffalo sauce
Instructions
- Cut the Potatoes: Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 6-8 wedges to ensure even cooking.
- Optional Soak: For extra-crispy results, soak the cut wedges in a bowl of cold water for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour to remove excess starch. Drain thoroughly afterwards.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F, using the convection setting if available for optimal crispiness.
- Dry and Season: Dry the potatoes thoroughly with paper towels to remove moisture, then place them in a mixing bowl. Add olive oil, chicken wing seasoning, and buffalo sauce, tossing until the wedges are evenly coated.
- Arrange on Rack: Spread the coated potato wedges in a single layer on a wire rack placed on top of one or two large baking sheets to promote even baking and crisp edges.
- Bake: Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 40 minutes until golden brown and crispy, turning once halfway through for even cooking.
Notes
- Soaking the potatoes removes excess starch and helps achieve a crispier texture.
- Using a wire rack during baking allows air to circulate around the wedges, ensuring they crisp up evenly.
- You can substitute buffalo sauce with your favorite hot sauce if desired.
- Chicken wing seasoning typically contains paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and black pepper; adjust seasoning to taste.
- Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing for a classic buffalo wedge experience.
