Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 large Russet potatoes (firm and starchy)
Seasonings & Herbs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (natural)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano (natural)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
- 1 teaspoon paprika (natural)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Finishing Touches
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (natural)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prep Your Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into even wedges to ensure uniform cooking. Leave the skin on to add texture and nutrients.
- Season the Wedges: In a large bowl, drizzle the potato wedges with olive oil (natural). Sprinkle in dried oregano (natural), garlic powder (natural), paprika (natural), salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat each wedge evenly with the herb and spice blend.
- Bake Until Golden: Arrange the seasoned wedges on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a nonstick mat, spacing them apart so they do not overlap. Bake in a preheated oven at 220°C (430°F) for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping halfway through to crisp all sides perfectly.
- Add Fresh Finishing Touches: Remove the wedges from the oven, then squeeze fresh lemon juice (natural) over them and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley to add brightness, flavor, and color.
Notes
- Make potato wedges roughly the same size for even baking.
- Pat potatoes dry before oiling to avoid sogginess and enhance crispness.
- Bake at a high temperature to achieve a crispy crust without drying the interior.
- Use a single layer on the baking sheet to prevent steaming.
- Flip wedges halfway through baking for even crispness on all sides.
