Ingredients
  • 2 lbs Russet Potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Paprika

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. You can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skin on adds extra texture and nutrients.

Cutting the Wedges

Cut each potato lengthwise into wedges. Aim for about 6-8 wedges per potato, depending on the size. Ensure the wedges are roughly the same size for even cooking.

Seasoning the Wedges

In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, pepper, and paprika. Make sure the wedges are evenly coated with the oil and spices.

Roasting

Spread the potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This prevents them from sticking and helps them crisp up nicely. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and tender, flipping halfway through for even cooking.

Serving

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with extra fresh herbs, if desired. Serve hot as a side dish with your favorite meal.
