These crispy herb-coated potato wedges are a delightful twist on a classic side dish, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lining the baking sheet with parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into wedges.
Try to cut the wedges evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the spices thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl.
Be careful not to overheat the butter; it should be just melted.
Dip each potato wedge into the melted butter, then coat it with the breadcrumb and seasoning mixture.
Press the wedges gently into the mixture to ensure a good coating.
Arrange the coated wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Leave some space between the wedges to allow for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Check the wedges towards the end of the baking time to prevent overcooking.
Serve the potato wedges hot with your favorite dip.
Serving the wedges immediately ensures they retain their crispiness.
