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. Pat dry with a kitchen towel but leave the skins on for texture and flavor.
Slice each potato into evenly sized wedges by cutting them in half lengthwise, then cutting each half into 3-4 wedges depending on their size.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried rosemary, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the seasoning mixture.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss until all the wedges are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning blend.
Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure none of the wedges overlap to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through to ensure they cook evenly on all sides. The wedges should be golden brown and crispy on the outside while tender on the inside.
Remove the potato wedges from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
Serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or snack with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, ranch, or garlic aioli.
