Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into wedges
Seasonings
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional Toppings
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Season Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until every wedge is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Arrange Wedges: Place the seasoned potato wedges onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer with the skin side down. This helps achieve maximum crispiness on the edges.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Flip the wedges halfway through baking to ensure they brown evenly on all sides. They should become golden brown and crispy on the exterior while remaining soft inside.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Once baked, remove the wedges from the oven and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley if you like. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Soaking the cut potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before baking can help make them crispier. Be sure to dry them thoroughly before seasoning.
- You can adjust the spices to your preference or add a pinch of cayenne pepper for some heat.
