Ingredients

• 2 pounds russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup 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 or lightly grease it with oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes well. Peel them if desired, but leaving the skin on adds flavor and texture.

Step 3

Cut the potatoes into wedges or thick strips, ensuring they are evenly sized for consistent cooking.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. If using parmesan cheese, mix it in now for extra flavor.

Step 5

Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them to coat evenly in the oil and seasoning mixture.

Step 6

Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and carefully flip the potatoes over with tongs or a spatula.

Step 8

Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside but tender on the inside.

Step 9

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes. If desired, sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for a burst of color and flavor.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish to accompany your main meal.
