Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon 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)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Leave the skins on for extra texture and flavor.
Cut each potato into evenly sized wedges by first halving them lengthwise, then cutting each half into 3 to 4 wedges, depending on the size of the potato.
Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle olive oil over them and toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potato wedges and toss them again until they're evenly coated.
Arrange the wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure there’s ample space between them to ensure crispness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. The wedges should be golden and crispy on the outside, with a tender interior.
If desired, sprinkle the hot potato wedges with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley for an added touch of flavor and presentation.
Serve immediately as a side dish, appetizer, or snack, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch, aioli, or ketchup.
