Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2
Wash the potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Step 3
Cut each potato into wedges: slice each potato in half lengthwise, and then slice each half into 3 to 4 wedges, depending on the size of the potato.
Step 4
Place the potato wedges in a large bowl. Drizzle them with olive oil and toss to coat each wedge evenly.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt.
Step 6
Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the potato wedges, and toss them again to ensure the seasoning evenly coats each wedge.
Step 7
Place the seasoned wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap for even cooking.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the wedges are crispy and golden brown, turning them halfway through the cooking time using a spatula.
Step 9
Remove the wedges from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Step 10
Transfer the wedges to a serving platter and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
