Ingredients
  

4 large russet potatoes

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup cooked and crumbled hatch chili sausage (or a vegetarian sausage alternative)

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup chopped green onions

1/4 cup diced fresh tomatoes

Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Jalapeño slices, for extra heat (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or applying a light coat of oil.

    Prep the Potatoes: Thoroughly wash and scrub the russet potatoes under running water to remove any dirt. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then slice each half into about 4 wedges (aiming for 8 wedges per potato). Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl.

      Season the Wedges: Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the potato wedges. Sprinkle the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and a generous amount of salt and pepper over the top. Using your hands or a spatula, toss the wedges gently until every piece is well coated in the seasoning mixture.

        Bake the Wedges: Spread the seasoned potato wedges out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding to ensure they bake evenly. Place the sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Be sure to flip the wedges halfway through the baking time for even crispiness, until they are golden brown and crispy.

          Add Toppings: Once the wedges are perfectly baked, remove them from the oven and immediately sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the hot wedges. Follow up by adding the crumbled hatch chili sausage. Return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is wonderfully melted and bubbly.

            Serve: After finishing the baking, transfer the loaded potato wedges to a serving platter. Drizzle generous amounts of sour cream over the top, followed by the vibrant green onions and fresh diced tomatoes. For those who enjoy an extra kick, feel free to garnish with fresh cilantro and jalapeño slices.

              Dig In: Serve these delicious Loaded Hatch Chili Potato Wedges while they're hot, and pair them with your favorite dipping sauces, if desired!
