Ingredients
  

4 large russet potatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for heat preference)

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup sour cream (substitute Greek yogurt for a lighter option)

1 cup diced Hatch green chiles (use canned or roasted)

½ cup sliced green onions

½ cup diced tomatoes

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Optional: 1 avocado, diced (for added creaminess)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) so it’s ready when you need to bake the wedges.

    Prepare the Potatoes: Rinse the russet potatoes under cold water, scrubbing them to remove any dirt. Cut each potato into 8 wedges, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.

      Season the Wedges: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper until combined. Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them thoroughly in the seasoning mixture until they are well coated.

        Bake the Wedges: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single even layer on the baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through baking, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

          Add the Toppings: Once the potato wedges are baked to perfection, remove them from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the hot wedges, allowing it to melt slightly from the heat of the potatoes.

            Assemble the Loaded Wedges: Generously drizzle sour cream over the cheesy potato wedges. Top with the diced Hatch green chiles, followed by a sprinkle of sliced green onions and diced tomatoes for an added burst of flavor.

              Garnish and Serve: Finish your loaded wedges with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro and diced avocado, if desired, for extra creaminess. Serve immediately, and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce or additional sour cream on the side for a delicious treat!
