Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Oil
- 4 large starchy potatoes, washed and cut into thick wedges
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (natural)
Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano (natural)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Finishing Touch
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (natural)
Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes: Begin by washing the potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skins on for added texture and nutrients. Cut each potato into thick wedges to ensure the perfect balance between crispy edges and a fluffy interior.
- Season the Wedges: Place the wedges in a large bowl and drizzle generously with olive oil (natural). Sprinkle garlic powder (natural), dried oregano (natural), sea salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat each wedge evenly with the flavorful mixture.
- Bake Until Golden: Arrange the wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy clean-up. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for about 35 to 40 minutes, turning halfway through to achieve an even golden crisp on every side.
- Add a Zesty Finish: As soon as the wedges come out of the oven, drizzle them with fresh lemon juice (natural). This step brightens the dish and adds that classic Greek touch that ties all the flavors together beautifully.
Notes
- Choose starchy or all-purpose potatoes for the crispiest texture.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan; give wedges enough space to bake evenly and crisp up properly.
- Flip wedges halfway through baking for even golden crispiness on both sides.
- Use fresh herbs like oregano or thyme when possible to intensify flavor.
- Serve wedges immediately to enjoy the best crispiness.
