Ingredients
  

4 large russet potatoes

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons smoked paprika

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (for extra heat, optional)

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Sour cream or ranch dressing (for dipping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is key to achieving that irresistible crispy texture for your potato wedges.

    Prepare the Potatoes: Rinse the russet potatoes under cold water and scrub them thoroughly to remove any dirt. Slice them into wedges, aiming for about 1-inch thickness to ensure even cooking.

      Mix the Seasoning: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

        Coat the Wedges: Add the potato wedges into the bowl with the seasoning mix. Gently toss the wedges using your hands or a spatula, making sure they are completely coated with the seasoning for maximum flavor.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Spread the seasoned potato wedges out in a single layer on the sheet, ensuring they do not overlap. This spacing is essential for achieving that crispy finish.

            Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through the cooking time. Keep an eye out for a golden brown color and a crispy exterior.

              Final Touches and Serve: Once baked, take the potato wedges out of the oven and allow them to cool for about a minute. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor. Serve immediately with a side of sour cream or ranch dressing for dipping, if desired.
