Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). 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 in half lengthwise, then slice each half into 4-6 wedges depending on the size of the potato.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add salt, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and dried oregano to the bowl. Toss the potato wedges again to evenly distribute the seasonings.

Step 6

Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping. Overcrowding will prevent them from getting crispy.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through to ensure even cooking. They should be golden brown and crispy on the edges when done.

Step 8

If desired, sprinkle the baked potato wedges with Parmesan cheese immediately after removing them from the oven for an extra flavor boost.

Step 9

Serve the potato wedges hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, ranch, or garlic aioli.
