Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise, and then slice each half into 3-4 wedges, depending on the size of the potato.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato wedges, olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure the wedges are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for optimal crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and use a spatula to flip the potato wedges.
Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the roasted potatoes before serving.
Serve immediately as a side dish or snack, paired with your favorite Mediterranean dips or salads.
