Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (fresh, chopped)
• 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray

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 non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Leave the skin on for added texture and flavor.

Step 3

Cut the potatoes into evenly sized wedges, approximately 1/2 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, Cajun seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the spices are evenly blended.

Step 5

Add the potato wedges to the mixing bowl and toss until they are coated evenly with the seasoning mixture.

Step 6

Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded or overlapping for maximum crispiness.

Step 7

Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip them over using tongs or a spatula, then bake for an additional 20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the edges.

Step 8

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or spicy mayo, for an extra kick!
