Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Golden potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thoroughly wash the golden potatoes under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Cut each potato into evenly sized wedges. Typically, each potato will yield about 8 wedges, depending on size.
Place the potato wedges in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and toss well to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, ground black pepper, and dried thyme over the potatoes. Mix everything together until the potatoes are well coated with the seasoning.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded to allow even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and tender. Flip the wedges halfway through baking for even crispiness.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before transferring them to a serving platter.
Garnish the baked potatoes with freshly chopped parsley for an added burst of color and flavor.
Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite main course or enjoy them on their own as a savory snack.
