Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold running water and dry them with a clean kitchen towel. It's optional to peel them; leaving the skin on adds more nutrients.
Cut the potatoes into evenly-sized wedges. First, cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3 or 4 wedges, depending on the size of the potato.
Place the potato wedges into a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, ground black pepper, and salt. Toss well to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Arrange the potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This will help them roast evenly and become crispy.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, turning the wedges halfway through cooking to ensure they become crispy and golden brown on all sides.
Once done, remove the wedges from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet to let them crisp up further.
Transfer the crispy roasted potato wedges to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your heart-healthy culinary creation!
