Parboil potatoes Microwave - Place the potato wedges in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave on high for 2 minutes. Toss them, then cook 2 minutes more.Stovetop - Place the potatoes in a pan of cold water and boil for about 3 minutes. They should be firm, not soft.
Drain the potato wedges well on a paper towel – wipe off excess moisture.
Season with oil, salt, black pepper, and any other optional seasonings such as paprika, garlic, rosemary, lemon, Italian seasoning). I used garlic powder and paprika today.
Tray - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the potatoes on the parchment paper in a single layer. I prefer parchment paper, but you can also use aluminum foil.
Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes turning them around once in between until golden brown and crisp on the outside but still tender on the inside.
Serve hot with ketchup, mustard, mayo, mustard, ranch dressing. My favorite dipping sauce is a combination of ketchup, mayo, and mustard.
