Ingredients
  

4 large russet potatoes

4 cloves of garlic, minced

1 tablespoon dried oregano

1 tablespoon dried thyme

2 teaspoons smoked paprika

1 teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

¼ cup olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: freshly grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Leave the skin on for extra crispiness, and cut each potato into wedges, about 8 wedges per potato.

      Make the Herb Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, smoked paprika, sea salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Mix well to create a flavorful herb oil.

        Coat the Potatoes: Add the potato wedges to the bowl with the herb mixture. Toss the wedges until they are evenly coated in the garlic and herb oil.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for maximum crispiness.

            Bake the Wedges: Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

              Optional - Add Cheese: If you like, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the wedges during the last 5 minutes of baking for an extra cheesy flavor.

                Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the potato wedges from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
