Ingredients

• 2 lbs red potatoes
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)
• 2 tbsp 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.

Step 2

Wash the red potatoes thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Leave the skins on for added texture and flavor.

Step 3

Cut each red potato into wedges by halving the potato lengthwise, then cutting each half into 3 or 4 wedges, depending on the size of the potato.

Step 4

Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl and drizzle them with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potato wedges and toss again to coat evenly.

Step 6

Transfer the seasoned potato wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden brown and fork-tender.

Step 8

If desired, sprinkle the roasted potato wedges with grated parmesan cheese immediately after removing them from the oven, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added flavor before serving.

Step 10

Serve the roasted red potato wedges warm as a side dish or snack. Enjoy!
