Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Leave the skins on for extra texture or peel if desired.
Cut the potatoes into evenly sized wedges or thick slices, about 1/2-inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, dried oregano, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create a flavorful seasoning blend.
Sprinkle the cornstarch over the potato wedges and toss to coat them evenly. The cornstarch helps achieve a crispier texture.
Add the potato wedges to the seasoning mixture in the bowl and toss until each piece is well coated with the mixture.
Spread the seasoned wedges out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, being careful not to overcrowd them. This ensures they crisp up nicely.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. Then, use a spatula to flip the wedges to cook evenly and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Once done, remove the potatoes from the oven and immediately sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness.
Serve the zesty oven-fried potatoes hot, either on their own or with your favorite dipping sauces.
