Ingredients

• 4 large 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 oil.

Step 2

Rinse the potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt, and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.

Step 3

Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4–6 evenly-sized wedges, depending on the potato's size.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure the seasonings coat every wedge evenly.

Step 5

Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to allow even roasting.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through cooking to ensure they crisp up on both sides.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the wedges in the last 5 minutes of cooking for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 8

Remove the potato wedges from the oven when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if using, and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.
