Ingredients
  

4 large russet potatoes

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon sea salt (adjust to taste)

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional for a savory finish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). A high temperature is essential for achieving that golden, crispy exterior on the potato wedges.

    Prepare the Potatoes: Rinse the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water to eliminate any dirt. Once cleaned, pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Slice each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into wedges, aiming for 6-8 wedges per potato based on their size.

      Season the Wedges: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until fully blended. Add the potato wedges to the bowl, and gently toss them until each wedge is evenly coated in the flavorful oil and herb mixture.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup. Spread the seasoned potato wedges out in a single layer, leaving space between each wedge to ensure they roast evenly and develop a crispy texture.

          Roast the Potatoes: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and roast the wedges for 25-30 minutes. About halfway through, flip each wedge to promote even cooking and browning. The potatoes should emerge golden and crispy when done.

            Add Cheese (Optional): If you choose to use Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the wedges during the last 5 minutes of roasting. This will allow the cheese to melt and form a delectable crust on top of the potatoes.

              Garnish and Serve: Once fully roasted, remove the wedges from the oven. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor before serving. Enjoy them hot, paired with your preferred dipping sauces like ranch, ketchup, or aioli for an extra flavor kick.

                  Presentation Tips: Serve the crispy potato wedges in a rustic wooden bowl or on a platter lined with parchment paper. This enhances the rustic charm and makes for an inviting presentation. Add a small bowl of dipping sauce in the center to encourage sharing!
