- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat and Prep
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into wedges by slicing each potato in half lengthwise, then cutting each half into 3–4 wedges, depending on the size of the potato.
2. Season the Wedges
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil until evenly coated.
- Add the garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss again to ensure the wedges are evenly seasoned.
3. Arrange on the Baking Sheet
- Spread the seasoned wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each wedge to allow for even crisping.
- For extra crispiness, place the wedges skin-side down and avoid overcrowding the pan.
