Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Medium-sized potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Leave the skin on for a crispier texture.
Cut each potato into even wedges by first halving the potato lengthwise, then slicing each half into 3-4 wedges, depending on the size of the potato.
Place the potato wedges in a large microwave-safe bowl filled with water. Microwave on high for 4-5 minutes to par-cook the potatoes. Drain and pat the wedges dry.
In the same bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the seasoning mixture.
Add the par-cooked potato wedges to the bowl and toss to evenly coat them with the seasoning mixture.
Arrange the wedges in a single layer on a microwave-safe plate lined with parchment paper, making sure they don’t overlap for even cooking.
Microwave on high for 5-7 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until they are tender and golden brown on the edges. Cooking time may vary based on the power of your microwave, so keep an eye on them.
Remove the wedges from the microwave and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish to your main meal.
