Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 medium firm potatoes, washed and cut into 8 wedges each
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (natural)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (natural)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano (natural)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
- 1 teaspoon paprika (natural)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt, then cut each into 8 even wedges. Uniform wedges ensure even cooking and a consistent texture.
- Season the Wedges: In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with extra virgin olive oil (natural), fresh lemon juice (natural), dried oregano (natural), garlic powder (natural), paprika (natural), sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Mix well to coat each wedge evenly with the seasoning blend.
- Arrange for Baking: Lay the seasoned wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Avoid overcrowding to help them crisp up rather than steam during baking.
- Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake the wedges for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning and maximum crispiness.
- Garnish and Serve: Once baked, sprinkle the warm wedges with fresh chopped parsley for a fresh finish. Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect crispy texture.
Notes
- Choose starchy potatoes like Russets for the best crisp exterior and fluffy interior.
- Do not skip the fresh lemon juice; it balances the earthiness of the potatoes and enhances herb flavors.
- Use enough olive oil to ensure flavor and crispiness; don’t skimp on it.
- Flip wedges halfway through baking for even color and crunch.
- Let the wedges cool for a few minutes after baking to firm up the crisp texture.
