Instructions

Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the wedges don’t stick and for easy cleanup.
Toss potatoes with seasoning: In a large bowl, evenly coat the potato wedges by tossing them with olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, black pepper, and freshly squeezed lemon juice for a bright, zesty flavor.
Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they aren’t overcrowded to allow proper roasting and crisping.
Roast the wedges: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the potatoes for 35 to 40 minutes. Flip the wedges halfway through roasting to ensure they cook evenly and develop a golden-brown, crispy exterior.
Finish and garnish: Once roasted, remove the wedges from the oven and optionally sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese for a creamy, salty touch. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving to add color and fresh herb flavor.

Notes

For extra crispiness, soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking and dry thoroughly.
Adjust seasoning to taste; add more paprika for extra smokiness or less salt if preferred.
Feta cheese is optional but recommended for authentic Greek flavor.
These wedges pair well with tzatziki or a garlic yogurt dip.
Make sure to flip the wedges halfway through roasting to get an even crisp.
