Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Leave the skin on for added fiber.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then into quarters, and finally into eighths to form wedges. Try to keep them as similar in size as possible for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, ground black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them thoroughly to ensure they are well-coated with the seasoning mixture.
Arrange the seasoned wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, using tongs or a spatula, flip each wedge over to brown the other side evenly.
Return the wedges to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a burst of flavor and garnish.
Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy them as a snack!
