Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional, grated)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Leave the skin on for added texture and flavor.
Cut each potato into wedges by first cutting it in half lengthwise, then cutting each half into 3-4 even wedges depending on the size of the potato.
Place the wedges in a large mixing bowl and add olive oil. Toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the potato wedges and toss again to ensure each wedge is well coated.
Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd them. This helps them bake evenly and become crispy.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through to ensure even browning.
Optional: If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the wedges during the last 5 minutes of baking.
Remove from the oven once the wedges are golden brown and crisp on the edges.
Serve the potato wedges hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, ranch, or a garlic aioli. Enjoy!
