Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on for extra crispiness and flavor.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3 to 4 wedges, depending on the size of the potato.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly with the seasoning.
Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the wedges are not overlapping to ensure even cooking.
Bake the wedges in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure both sides are crispy and golden brown.
Remove the potato wedges from the oven and let them cool slightly. If desired, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley on top for added flavor.
Serve the potato wedges warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish with your main course.
