Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (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 non-stick spray.

Step 2

Wash the potatoes thoroughly under cold water, scrubbing off any dirt. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 3

Cut the potatoes into evenly sized wedges or cubes, aiming for uniformity to ensure even cooking.

Step 4

Place the potato pieces in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and toss until well-coated.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried thyme.

Step 6

Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potatoes and toss again to coat evenly.

Step 7

Spread the seasoned potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are arranged in a single layer with minimal overlap.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, flipping or stirring the potatoes halfway through cooking to achieve even browning.

Step 9

Check the potatoes for doneness by piercing them with a fork; they should be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Step 10

If desired, sprinkle the baked potatoes with Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking for extra flavor.

Step 11

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 12

Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy as a standalone snack with your favorite dipping sauce.
