Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- Prepare the Potato Wedges: Place the potato wedges in a large bowl. Add olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly with the seasoning.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping.
- Bake the Wedges: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning and baking. This helps remove excess starch.
- You can customize the seasoning with your favorite spices, such as cayenne pepper for a spicy kick or rosemary for an earthy flavor.
- These wedges are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes to regain their crispiness.
