Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and lightly spray it with cooking spray.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Leave the skins on for extra texture and flavor.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4-6 wedges, depending on their size. Aim for uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the wedges and toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potato wedges and toss again until the wedges are uniformly coated.
Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overlapping for even roasting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip the wedges over using a spatula. Bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the wedges are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Remove the potato wedges from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. They’re delicious on their own or paired with your favorite dipping sauce!
