Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skins on for extra texture and flavor. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Step 3
Cut each potato lengthwise into wedges. Aim to have similar-sized wedges so they cook evenly.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Step 5
Add the potato wedges to the mixing bowl and toss them until they are fully coated in the marinade.
Step 6
Spread the potato wedges onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, flip the wedges over using tongs or a spatula to ensure even browning.
Step 8
Continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the wedges are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow the wedges to cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm, optionally with a side of tzatziki or your favorite dipping sauce.
