Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Leave the skins on for extra texture and flavor.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then slice each half into 4-6 wedges depending on the size of the potato.
Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle them with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Add salt, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and dried oregano to the bowl. Toss the potato wedges again to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping. Overcrowding will prevent them from getting crispy.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through to ensure even cooking. They should be golden brown and crispy on the edges when done.
If desired, sprinkle the baked potato wedges with Parmesan cheese immediately after removing them from the oven for an extra flavor boost.
Serve the potato wedges hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, ranch, or garlic aioli.
