Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Do not peel the potatoes; the skin adds extra texture and flavor.

Step 3

Slice each potato lengthwise into 8 wedges to create the classic Jo Jo shape.

Step 4

Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl and drizzle them with olive oil. Toss to evenly coat all the wedges.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Mix well.

Step 6

Sprinkle the spice mixture over the potato wedges and toss again until all the wedges are evenly coated with the seasoning.

Step 7

Arrange the potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap to ensure even cooking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Step 9

If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the wedges during the last 5 minutes of baking for a cheesy touch.

Step 10

Remove the Jo Jo potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch, ketchup, or garlic aioli.
