Potatoes and Base Ingredients
- 4 large firm, starchy potatoes
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (natural)
Seasonings
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano (natural)
- 1 teaspoon paprika (natural)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
Garnish (Optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Additional lemon juice, for squeezing
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Start by washing and scrubbing your potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into thick wedges to hold up well during baking, ensuring a perfect balance of fluffy inside and crispy outside.
- Season the Wedges: In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with extra virgin olive oil (natural), minced fresh garlic, oregano (natural), paprika (natural), lemon zest, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), sea salt, and fresh cracked black pepper. Coat evenly to ensure every wedge is bursting with flavor.
- Arrange for Baking: Spread the wedges out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Crowding will prevent crisping, so make sure there is space between each piece.
- Bake Until Golden: Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F). Bake the wedges for 30 to 35 minutes. Halfway through cooking, flip them to guarantee an even golden brown crunch on all sides.
- Garnish and Serve: Once baked, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, a pinch of sea salt, and a squeeze of lemon juice to elevate the flavors. Serve hot and enjoy the satisfying crunch.
Notes
- Soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking to remove excess starch and improve crispiness.
- Baking at a high temperature helps develop a crispy crust quickly without drying out the potatoes inside.
- Flip wedges halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
- Cut thick wedges to maintain structure and contrast crispy edges with soft centers.
- For stronger fresh herb flavor, add herbs after baking.
