Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skins on for extra texture and flavor.

Step 3

Cut each potato into even-sized wedges. To do this, slice the potato in half lengthwise, then slice each half into 3-4 wedges, depending on the size of your potato.

Step 4

Place the potato wedges in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let them soak for 20 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps them crisp up in the oven.

Step 5

After soaking, drain the potato wedges and pat them completely dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Place the dried potato wedges back in the large bowl. Pour the seasoned olive oil mixture over the wedges and toss until they are evenly coated.

Step 8

Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure the wedges are not overlapping for even cooking.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through to ensure they cook evenly. They should be golden brown and crisp by the time they are done.

Step 10

If desired, sprinkle the hot wedges with Parmesan cheese immediately after removing them from the oven.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve the wedges warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, ranch, or garlic aioli.
