Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut each potato into wedges by first halving lengthwise, then cutting each half into 3 or 4 equal slices depending on the size of the potato.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Stir well to create a flavorful marinade.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat the potatoes evenly with the marinade.
Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even cooking.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Remove the potato wedges from the oven and immediately drizzle them with fresh lemon juice for a tangy burst of flavor.
Transfer the wedges to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and, if desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top for an extra touch of Greek authenticity.
Serve hot as a side dish or snack and enjoy the bold, vibrant flavors of Greece. Oopah!
