Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and scrub the potatoes well, keeping the skin on.
  3. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, then cut each half into quarters and finally into wedges.
  4. Soak the cut wedges in cold water for 20-30 minutes to remove extra starch (optional).
  5. Dry the wedges thoroughly with a clean towel.
  6. Toss the wedges in a bowl with oil, salt, pepper, and your chosen seasonings until well coated.
  7. Spread the wedges out on a baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they have space between them.
Baking
  1. Bake the wedges for 35-45 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  2. Check for doneness around 30 minutes.
Making the Dipping Sauce
  1. While the wedges bake, mix mayo, Greek yogurt, grated garlic, lemon juice, salt, and dill in a bowl.
  2. Let the sauce sit for at least 20 minutes to blend flavors.

Notes

For extra crunch, try adding a bit of cornstarch to the wedges before the oil and spices. Ensure not to overcrowd the baking sheet.
