Ingredients
  

4 large russet potatoes, rinsed and cut into even wedges

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

½ cup crumbled cotija cheese

1 can (4 oz) diced green Hatch chiles, drained

½ cup sour cream

¼ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped

2 green onions, sliced thinly

Jalapeño slices, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Thoroughly rinse and scrub the russet potatoes to remove any dirt. Cut each potato into wedges, ensuring they are of uniform size for even cooking.

    Season the Wedges: In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato wedges and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss the wedges vigorously with your hands or a spatula until each piece is well-coated in the oil and seasonings.

      Bake the Wedges: Transfer the seasoned potato wedges to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, arranging them in a single layer for maximum crispiness. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until they are golden brown and crisp to your liking.

        Prepare the Topping: While the wedges are baking, place the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled cotija cheese, and drained Hatch chiles in a separate mixing bowl. Stir until the ingredients are evenly combined.

          Add the Topping: When the potato wedges are perfectly crispy, take them out of the oven. Immediately sprinkle the cheese and Hatch chile mixture over the hot wedges, allowing the warmth to gently melt the cheese.

            Final Bake: Return the loaded potato wedges to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.

              Serve: Remove the wedges from the oven and drizzle them generously with sour cream. Garnish with fresh cilantro, sliced green onions, and optional jalapeño slices for an extra kick.

                Enjoy: Serve your Loaded Hatch Chili Potato Wedges hot, perfect as a scrumptious appetizer or a delightful side dish!
