1 tsp paprika for smokiness and color
1 tsp dried oregano adds herbaceous goodness
to taste salt and pepper essential for flavor
optional fresh parsley for garnish

Baking Sheet
Large Bowl

Method

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This is crucial for getting that crispy texture.
Step 2: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Then, cut them into wedges; aim for uniform sizes so they cook evenly.
Step 3: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful seasoning blend.
Step 4: Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Step 5: Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Step 7: Once they are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Step 8: Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy potato wedges!
