Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large Russet potatoes, scrubbed
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lemon, juiced
- Optional: 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut each potato lengthwise into 8 equal wedges. You do not need to peel them.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
- Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss well until every wedge is evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
- Arrange the seasoned wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan for best crisping.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through the cooking time.
- Remove from the oven, drizzle with fresh lemon juice, and toss gently.
- If using, sprinkle with feta cheese immediately. Serve warm as a side dish for grilled chicken or as a simple vegetable side.
Notes
- For extra crispy potato wedges, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before drying them completely.
- If you prefer an air fryer potato wedges Mediterranean version, cook at 375°F (190°C) for 18-20 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes.
- This recipe works well as a healthy potato side dish or a Mediterranean appetizer idea.
