Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Leave the skin on for extra crispiness and nutrients.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3-4 wedges, depending on the size of the potato. Aim for evenly sized wedges to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. If you want a cheesy twist, mix in the Parmesan cheese at this stage.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Spread the coated potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each wedge for proper browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Remove the wedges from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or snack with ketchup, ranch dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce.
