Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Leave the skin on for extra crispiness and flavor. Cut each potato into 8 wedges by slicing it in half lengthwise, then cutting each half into quarters.
Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potato wedges and toss again until all the wedges are evenly coated.
Arrange the potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they aren’t overlapping. This ensures they bake evenly and get crispy.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. The wedges should be golden brown and crispy on the outside while tender on the inside.
Optional: If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the wedges during the last 5 minutes of baking to create a melted, cheesy topping.
Remove the potato wedges from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy!
