Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Preheating ensures the potatoes cook evenly and get nice and crispy.
Scrub the potatoes and cut them into wedges. Aim for eight wedges per potato.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, Himalayan pink salt, and black pepper.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture. Make sure every wedge is nicely coated for maximum flavor.
Spread the potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. This promotes even browning and crispiness.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy. Flipping ensures even cooking on both sides.
If desired, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese during the last few minutes of baking. The cheese adds a nice salty and savory touch.
Serve the crispy potato wedges hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup or mayonnaise.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

For extra crispiness, soak the cut potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, then dry them thoroughly before tossing with oil and seasonings.
If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix before baking.
To make them vegan, simply omit the Parmesan cheese or swap it for nutritional yeast, which adds a cheesy, umami flavor without dairy.
Serve the wedges with a homemade dip such as Greek yogurt mixed with chopped chives and lemon zest for a refreshing contrast to their savory, salty flavor.

Expert Tips

Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Ensure the potato wedges have enough space for even cooking and optimal crispiness. If necessary, bake in batches.
For even more flavor, try tossing the potato wedges with fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme before baking.
Experiment with different seasonings! Garlic powder, onion powder, or even a sprinkle of chili powder can add delicious complexity.

Storage Instructions

Store leftover potato wedges in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For optimal crispiness, reheat them in a preheated oven or air fryer before serving.
