- 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or basil, chopped (for garnish)
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 tbsp chopped red onion
- 1 tsp chili flakes (optional)
- Black sesame seeds (optional garnish)
- 1/4 cup ketchup (for serving)
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut each potato into 8 wedges. Soak in cold water for 15 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat dry thoroughly.
- Toss the potato wedges with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange the wedges on the baking sheet in a single layer, skin side down.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping once halfway, until golden and crispy.
- Meanwhile, mash the avocados with lime juice, salt, and chopped red onion in a bowl. Add chili flakes if desired.
- Sprinkle the guacamole with black sesame seeds if using.
- Serve the potato wedges hot, garnished with chopped parsley or basil, alongside guacamole and ketchup for dipping.
Notes
- Soaking the potatoes helps them get extra crispy when baked.
- Adjust spices to your taste—try adding cayenne for heat.
- Guacamole can be made ahead but is best served fresh.
- For extra crispiness, bake on a preheated baking sheet.
