Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skins on for extra texture and flavor. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Cut each potato lengthwise into wedges. Aim to have similar-sized wedges so they cook evenly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the potato wedges to the mixing bowl and toss them until they are fully coated in the marinade.
Spread the potato wedges onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, flip the wedges over using tongs or a spatula to ensure even browning.
Continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the wedges are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow the wedges to cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a side of tzatziki or your favorite dipping sauce.
