Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a towel.
Cut each potato into wedges by first halving them lengthwise, and then cutting each half into 3 or 4 wedges, depending on the potato size.
Place the wedges in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat the wedges evenly.
In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, and dried thyme.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the oiled potato wedges, ensuring all pieces are well-coated.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not touching, to ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, turning the wedges halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for a minute before serving.
Serve hot, with your favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy!
