Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to create these scrumptious potatoes:
- 4 large russet potatoes, washed and cut into wedges
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon chili powder for a little kick!
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
If you’re out of russet potatoes, Yukon Gold potatoes are a great alternative, offering a slightly buttery flavor.
Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Follow these steps for the perfect crunchy potatoes:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. If you’re using chili powder, add it in now.
- Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them until they are thoroughly coated with the oil and spice mixture.
- Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping. This ensures even cooking and maximum crunchiness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Remember, patience is key! Letting the potatoes bake until they’re deeply golden ensures that delightful crunch we all crave.
