  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, chopped parsley

Directions

  6. Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not touching each other to ensure even cooking.
  7. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the wedges are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove the potato wedges from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
  9. If desired, sprinkle some shredded cheese and chopped parsley over the wedges for added flavor and presentation.
  10. Serve the oven-fresh seasoned potato wedges as a side dish or appetizer. Enjoy!
