Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Do not peel the potatoes; the skin adds extra texture and flavor.
Slice each potato lengthwise into 8 wedges to create the classic Jo Jo shape.
Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl and drizzle them with olive oil. Toss to evenly coat all the wedges.
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Mix well.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the potato wedges and toss again until all the wedges are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Arrange the potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap to ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the wedges during the last 5 minutes of baking for a cheesy touch.
Remove the Jo Jo potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch, ketchup, or garlic aioli.
