Potato Wedges
Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that the potato wedges will cook evenly and become crispy.
- 2
Wash and Cut the Potatoes
Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly under running water. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into wedges (about 6-8 wedges per potato).
- 3
Soak the Potatoes (Optional)
For extra crispy wedges, soak the cut potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes. Drain and pat dry with a towel.
Seasoning and Baking
- 4
Season the Wedges
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Mix well until all the wedges are evenly coated.
- 5
Arrange on Baking Sheet
Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they are not overcrowded to allow for even crisping.
- 6
Bake the Wedges
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the wedges are golden brown and crispy. Flip the wedges halfway through the baking time for even cooking.
- 7
Add Parmesan Cheese
In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the wedges and return to the oven until melted and slightly golden.
Serving
- 8
Garnish and Serve
Remove the potato wedges from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. If desired, sprinkle fresh parsley over the top before serving. Enjoy hot with your favorite dipping sauce!
