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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Leave the skin on for extra texture and flavor.
Step 3
Slice each potato into wedges by first halving it lengthwise and then cutting each half into 3-4 even wedges, depending on the size of the potato.
Step 4
Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the potatoes and toss again to ensure each wedge is evenly coated.
Step 7
Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping for even cooking.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then flip the wedges over using tongs or a spatula.
Step 9
Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the wedges are golden brown and crispy at the edges.
Step 10
Optional: Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the hot wedges immediately after removing them from the oven for an extra savory touch.
Step 11
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, ranch, or garlic aioli.
