Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil to prevent sticking.
Wash and scrub the potatoes well. Peel them if desired, but leaving the skin on adds flavor and texture.
Cut the potatoes into wedges or thick strips, ensuring they are evenly sized for consistent cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. If using parmesan cheese, mix it in now for extra flavor.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them to coat evenly in the oil and seasoning mixture.
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap to ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and carefully flip the potatoes over with tongs or a spatula.
Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside but tender on the inside.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes. If desired, sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish to accompany your main meal.
