How to Make Uncle Bill's Microwave Potato Wedges

Wash and cut 2 large russet potatoes into even-sized wedges.
In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer in a microwave-safe dish. Make sure they aren't overcrowded.
Microwave on high for 5 minutes. Then, carefully flip the wedges and microwave for another 5 minutes.
Continue microwaving in 5-minute intervals, flipping halfway through each interval, until the potatoes are tender and slightly crispy (approximately 10-15 minutes total cooking time after the initial 10 minutes, depending on your microwave).
Remove from the microwave and let them sit for a minute or two before serving. Enjoy!
