Ingredients
  

4 large russet potatoes

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese for an extra flavor boost

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven is key to achieving perfectly crispy potato wedges.

    Prep the Potatoes: Thoroughly wash the russet potatoes under cold running water, keeping the skin on for added texture and flavor. Slice each potato lengthwise into wedges, aiming for about 8 wedges per potato.

      Soak the Wedges: To enhance crispiness, place the potato wedges in a large bowl filled with cold water. Let them soak for approximately 30 minutes. This will help remove excess starch, resulting in a crunchier exterior.

        Season the Wedges: After soaking, drain the wedges and use a clean kitchen towel to pat them dry. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful herb mixture.

          Coat the Wedges: Add the dried potato wedges to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Toss them well to ensure each wedge is evenly coated with the herbs and oil.

            Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spread the seasoned potato wedges out in a single layer on the sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded. This helps them roast rather than steam, which keeps them crispy.

              Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Be sure to flip the wedges halfway through to promote even browning. Bake until the wedges are golden brown and crisp on the outside.

                Optional Cheese Topping: For an added layer of flavor, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the wedges during the last 5 minutes of baking. Allow the cheese to melt and create a delightful, savory crust.

                  Garnish and Serve: After baking, carefully remove the potato wedges from the oven. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for a vibrant finish. Serve these delectable wedges hot and crispy, perfect for a snack or side dish!
