Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Scrub the potatoes clean and rinse them under cold water. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Cut each potato into approximately 8 wedges by first halving the potato lengthwise, then slicing each half into quarters.
Place the potato wedges into a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Pour the spice mixture over the potato wedges and toss until the wedges are evenly coated.
Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip the wedges over using a spatula to ensure both sides become crispy.
Continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the wedges are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Remove the wedges from the oven and let them cool slightly. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley for added flavor.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch, spicy mayo, or ketchup.
