Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Potatoes:
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. You can leave the skin on for extra texture and nutrients.
Cut the potatoes into wedges, ensuring they are all roughly the same size for even cooking.
Prepare the Egg Coating:
In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until they are well combined.
Add the salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to the eggs and mix well.
Coat the Potatoes:
Add the potato wedges to the bowl with the egg mixture. Toss the potatoes until they are evenly coated with the egg and seasoning mixture.
Bake:
Arrange the coated potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not touching each other, which helps them crisp up nicely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they bake evenly. They are done when they are golden brown and crispy.
Serve:
Remove the potato wedges from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. They are perfect on their own, but you can also enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauce.
