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 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Rinse the potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt, and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4–6 evenly-sized wedges, depending on the potato's size.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure the seasonings coat every wedge evenly.
Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to allow even roasting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through cooking to ensure they crisp up on both sides.
If desired, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the wedges in the last 5 minutes of cooking for an extra layer of flavor.
Remove the potato wedges from the oven when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if using, and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.
