The Best oven fried potato wedges recipe

I have been making these oven fried potato wedges for years and they are a staple in my house. My kids love them because they taste just like fried potatoes but without all the extra oil and mess. I love that I can get that crispy outside and fluffy inside right from the oven. It is a perfect side dish for weeknight dinners or for when we have friends over for a barbecue. Plus baking them instead of frying makes them a little healthier which is always a win in my book. We eat these with burgers grilled chicken or just on their own with some ketchup.
