Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Thoroughly wash and scrub the russet potatoes. Leave the skins on for added texture and nutrients.
Step 3
Cut each potato in half lengthwise and then cut each half into 4 wedges. You should end up with 8 wedges per potato.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, dried oregano, dried thyme, garlic powder, paprika, and lemon zest.
Step 5
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss until all wedges are evenly coated with the oil and herb mixture.
Step 6
Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow even cooking and crispiness.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until the potato wedges are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. Flip the wedges halfway through the baking time for even cooking.
Step 8
Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the crispy baked wedge potatoes as a delightful side dish.
