Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Leave the skin on for additional texture and flavor.
Cut each potato into 8 wedges by slicing it in half lengthwise, then cutting each half into quarters. Try to keep the wedges uniform in size for even cooking.
Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the potato wedges and toss to coat them evenly.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice blend over the potato wedges and toss them again until the wedges are thoroughly coated with the seasoning.
Spread the seasoned potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring none of them overlap. This helps ensure even roasting and crispy edges.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the wedges for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure crispiness on both sides.
Check for doneness by piercing one of the larger wedges with a fork; it should be tender in the center and golden brown on the outside.
Optional: Remove the wedges from the oven and immediately sprinkle them with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor.
Serve the spicy potato wedges hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, ranch, or garlic aioli.
