Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Leave the skins on for extra crispness and flavor.
Cut each potato into 8 even-sized wedges by halving lengthwise, then quartering each half.
Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle olive oil over them and toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Sprinkle the seasoning blend over the potato wedges and toss again to ensure even coating.
Spread the seasoned wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring none overlap to allow for crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through to ensure even browning.
Check for doneness by piercing the potatoes with a fork; they should be golden and crispy on the outside and tender inside.
If desired, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the hot wedges immediately after removing them from the oven.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
Serve hot as a side dish, snack, or appetizer with your favorite dipping sauce.
