Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds potatoes, cut into wedges
Seasoning & Marinade
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Juice of 1 lemon
Toppings & Garnish
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy cleanup.
- Prepare Potato Wedges: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, black pepper, and freshly squeezed lemon juice until all pieces are evenly coated with the flavorful marinade.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to promote even roasting and crispiness.
- Roast the Wedges: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they brown evenly and develop crispy edges.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Once golden brown and crispy, remove the wedges from the oven. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top if desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking and pat dry thoroughly.
- Adjust seasoning according to taste; add more lemon juice for extra tang.
- Use sweet potatoes as a delicious alternative for a different flavor profile.
- Feta cheese is optional but adds a delightful salty contrast.
- These wedges are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven to regain crispiness.
