Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Cut each potato into wedges: slice each potato in half lengthwise, and then slice each half into 3 to 4 wedges, depending on the size of the potato.
Place the potato wedges in a large bowl. Drizzle them with olive oil and toss to coat each wedge evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt.
Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the potato wedges, and toss them again to ensure the seasoning evenly coats each wedge.
Place the seasoned wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the wedges are crispy and golden brown, turning them halfway through the cooking time using a spatula.
Remove the wedges from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Transfer the wedges to a serving platter and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
