Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes
Seasonings:
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Oils and Garnish:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Scrub potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt, then slice lengthwise into symmetrical wedges ensuring even cooking.
- Create a flavor-packed marinade by combining finely minced garlic, robust olive oil, kosher salt, cracked black pepper, and smoky paprika in a generous mixing bowl.
- Toss potato wedges in the aromatic marinade, ensuring each piece is evenly coated with the seasoning blend.
- Arrange marinated wedges on a rimmed baking sheet, positioning them in a single layer without overcrowding to promote optimal crispiness.
- Slide the baking sheet into a preheated 425°F oven, positioning the rack in the middle for uniform heat distribution.
- Roast for 30-35 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through to guarantee even browning and achieving a golden, crisp exterior with a tender interior.
- Once potatoes reach a beautiful golden-brown color and develop a satisfying crunch, remove from oven and immediately garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant finish.
Notes
- Slice potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking and crispy texture.
- Pat potato wedges completely dry before seasoning to maximize crispiness and prevent steaming.
- Arrange wedges with space between them on the baking sheet for better air circulation and crunchier edges.
- Try alternative herbs like rosemary or thyme for different flavor profiles and dietary preferences.
