Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs red potatoes
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)
- 2 tbsp 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.
Wash the red potatoes thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Leave the skins on for added texture and flavor.
Cut each red potato into wedges by halving the potato lengthwise, then cutting each half into 3 or 4 wedges, depending on the size of the potato.
Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl and drizzle them with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potato wedges and toss again to coat evenly.
Transfer the seasoned potato wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden brown and fork-tender.
If desired, sprinkle the roasted potato wedges with grated parmesan cheese immediately after removing them from the oven, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added flavor before serving.
Serve the roasted red potato wedges warm as a side dish or snack. Enjoy!
