Crispy and flavorful potato wedges seasoned with garlic and herbs, perfect as a side dish or snack.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and helps achieve a crispy texture.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt.
Using a vegetable brush can help clean the potatoes more effectively.
Cut each potato into wedges by halving them lengthwise and then slicing each half into 3-4 wedges.
Try to make the wedges uniform in size for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the potato wedges, olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the wedges are evenly coated.
Ensure all wedges are well coated with the seasoning for maximum flavor.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the seasoned wedges in a single layer, skin side down.
Spacing the wedges apart helps them crisp up better during baking.
Bake the wedges in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Keep an eye on the wedges towards the end of baking to prevent over-browning.
Serve the potato wedges hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Serving them immediately ensures they retain their crispiness.
