Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly under cold water, scrubbing off any dirt. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Cut the potatoes into evenly sized wedges or cubes, aiming for uniformity to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato pieces in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and toss until well-coated.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried thyme.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potatoes and toss again to coat evenly.
Spread the seasoned potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are arranged in a single layer with minimal overlap.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, flipping or stirring the potatoes halfway through cooking to achieve even browning.
Check the potatoes for doneness by piercing them with a fork; they should be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
If desired, sprinkle the baked potatoes with Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking for extra flavor.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy as a standalone snack with your favorite dipping sauce.
