Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Wash and scrub the Russet potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean towel. Cut each potato into wedges by halving it lengthwise and then cutting each half into 4-6 slices, depending on the size of the potato.
Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, minced garlic (use a garlic press or finely chop), paprika, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well to coat all the wedges evenly.
Slice the jalapeno chili thinly, removing the seeds if you prefer less heat. Add the slices to the bowl with the potatoes and toss gently to distribute.
Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure the wedges are not overcrowded to allow for even roasting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the tray, flip each wedge using a spatula or tongs, and return to the oven to bake for an additional 20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
While the potatoes are baking, finely chop the fresh parsley. Once the wedges are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the parsley over the top for a fresh and vibrant finish.
Serve immediately as a side dish or snack, garnished with additional jalapeno slices or a dollop of sour cream for added flavor, if desired.
