Crispy oven baked potato wedges with guacamole. They are flavorful, hearty, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Enjoy these delicious homemade potato fries loaded with the creamiest guacamole! Easy healthy recipe with simple ingredients which can be also made in an Air Fryer!
Low-Fat Oven Baked Potato Wedges
Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, that’s how I love them! Fries are delicious, I always loved eating them. But every time when I ordered French fries in a restaurant I got sick right after eating them. My stomach hurt and I really felt bad for at least half an hour.
Too much refined oil just doesn’t agree with me. If you love fries but don’t want them to be covered in oil, try out my low-fat oven baked potato wedges.
I love this recipe because it is:
- Easy to make with only a few simple ingredients
- Much healthier than fries in a restaurant
- Oven baked, not deep fried
Which Potatoes Work Best For Oven Baked Potato Wedges?
I like using Russet potatoes or Yukon Gold. Russet potatoes have a higher starch content (such as Idaho which works as well) but Yukon Gold potatoes are a great alternative!

How To Make The Best Oven Baked Potato Wedges
- First, you need to preheat your oven and line a large baking sheet (or two baking sheets) with parchment paper.
- Next, either peel your potatoes or leave the skin on (rub it clean if you don’t peel). Both work fine, the skin will add a nice texture.
- Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Then cut the halves into thirds or fourths (depending on the size of the potato).
- Toss in a bowl with all seasonings and spread over the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 40 minutes in the oven until crispy and deep golden brown.
Serve Potato Wedges With Creamy Guacamole
You can use any dipping sauce of choice, for example, ketchup or vegan mayonnaise. However, I love eating potato wedges with guacamole! It’s creamy, rich, and so delicious! I have included the recipe for the best guacamole below.
It’s super easy to make because you just need to process all ingredients in a food processor and it’s ready!
What Are The Best Seasonings For Potato Wedges?
I used the following seasonings which add a very nice flavor:
- Onion powder
- Garlic powder
- Smoked paprika
- Balsamic vinegar
- Soy sauce (gluten-free if needed)
- Nutritional yeast flakes (optional)
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
These Oven Baked Potato Wedges Are:
- Low in fat
- Much healthier than fries from a restaurant
- Hearty
- Crispy
- A perfect snack
- Vegan
- Gluten-free
- Paleo-friendly
It makes me so happy that I can enjoy potato wedges again because they are oven baked and not deep fried. No more stomach aches, yay!

The crispy oven fries are the best oven fries recipe I have tried! So glad to finally find a keeper that everyone likes. I didn’t try the guacamole recipe yet. We had the oven fries with hamburgers.
Sounds amazing, Michelle! I am so glad you love them. 🙂
Have you tried freezing them after they’ve baked and cooled? I just wonder if they could be made a head of time then reheated.
Hello Samantha, no, I haven’t tried freezing them. I think I would rather freeze them before baking.
I cook potato wedges on a pizza stone and they are cooked in half the amount of time. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Sounds so good! 🙂
Love how simple and filling this is! Such great flavor 🙂
Glad you liked the recipe, Kathleen! Thanks for your feedback. 🙂
Definitely a great recipe. This is my second and also not last time making it 🙂
That’s awesome, Vera! Thanks so much for your great feedback. 🙂
I found the seasoning for the potatoes to be more of a paste once i added in the nutritional yeast. which made it hard to coat – i had to wipe off the extra off each slice.
Guacamole is the perfect side for homemade potato wedges- I’ve made this with russet potatoes and sweet potatoes, and the guac is great with both!! The sweet potatoes just needed a few extra minutes in the oven.
Fantastic! I love sweet potatoes too, so healthy and delicious. Thanks for your great feedback, Chrissy! 🙂
These look soooo yummy!! Can’t wait to try x
