Baked Garlic Herb Potato Wedges

Golden, crispy, and full of flavor, these baked garlic herb potato wedges are a healthier, easy-to-make alternative to fries—and a family favorite.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large russet potatoes washed and cut into wedges
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika or regular paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor

Instructions
 

  • Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Scrub the potatoes well and leave the skins on. Slice each in half lengthwise, then cut into 3–4 even wedges per half.
  • Toss wedges in olive oil in a large bowl. Add garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly coated.
  • Spread wedges in a single layer without overlapping. This helps them crisp instead of steam.
  • Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through. They should be golden brown and tender inside. If still pale at 30 minutes, bake a few minutes longer.
  • Let rest 2–3 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and, if desired, grated Parmesan while still hot.
