Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3-4 wedges, depending on the size of the potato, to create evenly sized wedges.
Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and cornstarch. Toss well to evenly coat the wedges.
Spread the potato wedges out on the lined baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not overlapping to ensure even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then carefully flip each wedge using tongs or a spatula to ensure even crispiness.
Return the wedges to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before garnishing with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
