Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into wedge-shaped pieces by halving them lengthwise, then cutting each half into 3 or 4 wedges, depending on size.
Place the potato wedges in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to evenly coat the wedges with the seasoning.
Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
Bake the wedges in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
While the potato wedges are baking, prepare the chili cream dip. In a small bowl, combine sour cream, chili garlic sauce, lemon juice, and finely chopped chives. Stir well to combine.
Taste the chili cream and adjust the level of spice or tang with additional chili garlic sauce or lemon juice, as desired.
Once the potato wedges are cooked and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Serve the potato wedges warm with the chili cream dip on the side. Garnish with extra chives if desired for presentation.
