Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 whole Zest of lemon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
- 1 optional Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove dirt. Keep the skin on for added texture and nutrients.
Cut each potato into wedges by first slicing it in half lengthwise, then slicing each half into 3 or 4 wedges depending on the size of the potato.
Place the potato wedges in a large bowl and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a flavorful seasoning mixture.
Pour the seasoning mixture over the potato wedges and toss thoroughly to coat every piece. Use your hands or a spatula to ensure even coverage.
If cooking on a grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly spray the grill grates with non-stick cooking spray or brush with a little oil. Arrange the potato wedges on the grill in a single layer. Cook for 12-15 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 12-15 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown, with grill marks. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t burn.
If cooking on a stovetop: Heat a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat the pan lightly with non-stick cooking spray or a drizzle of oil. Add the potato wedges in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Cook for 10-12 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 10-12 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.
Transfer the cooked potato wedges to a serving plate. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for an extra burst of flavor and color.
Serve immediately as a side dish with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them on their own!
