Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1.5 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 4 lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash the potatoes thoroughly using a scrub brush, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3-4 wedges, depending on the size of the potato.
Place the potato wedges in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat the wedges evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the dried oregano, dried thyme, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potato wedges, tossing again to ensure each wedge is evenly coated.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it to prevent sticking.
Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer, skin side down, on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the wedges in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Once the wedges are baked to your desired crispness, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Serve the wedges warm with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top for added zest.
