Directions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
Cut each potato lengthwise into 8-10 wedges. For best results, ensure wedges are roughly uniform in size for even cooking.
- 3
In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper until thoroughly coated.
- 4
Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap. This promotes crispiness.
- 5
Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- 6
While the potatoes bake, prepare the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and honey until smooth and well combined.
- 7
Remove the potato wedges from the oven and serve immediately with the prepared dipping sauce on the side.
