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 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. You can peel them if you prefer, but the skin adds a nice crispy texture.

Step 3

Cut the potatoes into wedges by slicing them in half lengthwise, then into quarters, and finally into eighths.

Step 4

Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potato wedges and toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.

Step 8

Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping. This ensures even cooking and crispiness.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges.

Step 10

If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the wedges during the last 5 minutes of baking for a cheesy topping.

Step 11

Remove the potato wedges from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes.

Step 12

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
