  3. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a simmer and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes. 
  4. Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a clean kitchen towel. Allow them to air-dry for at least 20 minutes. 
  5. Slice each potato lengthwise twice to create wedges. Arrange them on a kitchen towel and allow them to air-dry for an additional 10 minutes. 
  6. In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut oil, paprika, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until well blended. 
  7. Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the seasoned oil. 
  8. Line a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Arrange the wedges in a single layer, leaving space between each piece to promote even roasting.
