Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Leave the skins on for extra texture and flavor.

Step 3

Cut each potato into evenly sized wedges by first halving them lengthwise, then cutting each half into 3 to 4 wedges, depending on the size of the potato.

Step 4

Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle olive oil over them and toss to coat evenly.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 6

Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potato wedges and toss them again until they're evenly coated.

Step 7

Arrange the wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure there’s ample space between them to ensure crispness.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. The wedges should be golden and crispy on the outside, with a tender interior.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle the hot potato wedges with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley for an added touch of flavor and presentation.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a side dish, appetizer, or snack, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch, aioli, or ketchup.
