Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized starchy potatoes
- 3 tablespoons natural olive oil
- 1 teaspoon natural garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon natural dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon natural dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon natural smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons natural lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into evenly sized wedges to ensure even cooking and consistent texture.
- Season the Wedges: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, smoked paprika, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper until each wedge is thoroughly coated with the fragrant spices.
- Bake to Perfection: Arrange the wedges in a single layer on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake at 220°C (430°F) for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wedges are golden and crisp on the outside but tender inside.
- Add Fresh Lemon: Once out of the oven, drizzle freshly squeezed lemon juice over the hot wedges to add a bright, refreshing contrast to their rich, herby flavor.
Notes
- Pat dry the potato wedges before seasoning to help them crisp up better in the oven.
- Baking at a higher temperature encourages a crunchy exterior without drying the inside.
- Do not crowd the pan; leaving space between wedges prevents steaming and promotes crispiness.
- Cut wedges into even sizes to ensure they cook evenly without burning.
- Flip the wedges halfway through baking for an even golden crust on all sides.
