Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized russet potatoes

4 tablespoons olive oil

6 cloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoons dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). For easy cleanup, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Potatoes: Rinse the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt, then scrub the skins with a brush. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, and then slice each half into wedges (you should get about 8 wedges per potato, depending on their size).

      Season the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, dried Italian herbs, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the potato wedges to this mixture and gently toss until every wedge is evenly coated with the flavorful blend.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Transfer the seasoned potato wedges onto the lined baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure there is space between the wedges to promote even cooking and enhance crispiness.

          Bake Until Crisp: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, turning the wedges halfway through the cooking time. They should emerge from the oven golden brown with a perfectly crispy exterior.

            Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the potato wedges from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. If you like, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley for a burst of flavor and color. Serve the wedges hot alongside your favorite dipping sauce, such as garlic aioli or ranch.
