Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Then, cut each half into 4-6 wedges depending on the potato size, ensuring they are roughly equal in size for even cooking.
Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat all the wedges evenly.
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potato wedges and toss again to distribute the spices evenly.
Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully flip each wedge using tongs or a spatula.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the wedges are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Remove the potato wedges from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and an extra burst of flavor.
Serve immediately as a delicious and heart-healthy side dish or snack. Enjoy!
