Preheat the oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skin on for extra crispiness and fiber.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into quarters to form wedges.
Soak the potato wedges in cold water for at least 10 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps them crisp up better.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Place the potato wedges in a large bowl. Add olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and dried rosemary.
Toss the potatoes well to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not touching each other.
Lightly spray the wedges with cooking spray to enhance crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving hot.
