Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skin on for extra crispiness. Cut each potato into wedges by halving it lengthwise, then cutting each half into 4-6 evenly sized wedges.
Place the potato wedges in a large bowl. Add olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure every wedge is evenly coated with the seasoning.
Arrange the seasoned wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not overlapping. This helps them bake evenly and ensures crispness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through the baking time to brown both sides. The wedges should be golden brown and crispy on the outside but tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove from the oven and transfer the wedges to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired for a fresh touch.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, ranch, or garlic aioli. Enjoy!
