Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Leave the skins on for extra texture.

Step 3

Cut each potato lengthwise into quarters, and then cut each quarter into 2 or 3 wedges, depending on the size of your potatoes. Aim for even thickness for uniform cooking.

Step 4

Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the potato wedges and toss until the wedges are evenly coated.

Step 6

Arrange the potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not overlapping. This ensures they crisp up and don’t steam.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through cooking. They should be golden-brown and crispy on the outside while tender on the inside when done.

Step 8

If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the wedges during the last 5 minutes of baking, allowing it to melt slightly.

Step 9

Remove the potato wedges from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish, if desired.

Step 10

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