Ingredients

• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Leave the skin on for extra crispiness and flavor.

Step 3

Cut each potato lengthwise into halves, then slice each half into 3–4 wedges, depending on the size of the potato. Ensure the wedges are roughly the same thickness so they cook evenly.

Step 4

Place the potato wedges into a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it in at this stage.

Step 5

Toss the wedges thoroughly until all the seasoning and oil evenly coat the potatoes.

Step 6

Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping for optimal crispness.

Step 7

Bake the potato wedges in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, flipping them halfway through baking to ensure they crisp up on both sides.

Step 8

Once the wedges are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, ranch dressing, or garlic aioli.
