Ingredients
  

4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into wedges

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon salt (or adjust to taste)

½ teaspoon black pepper (or adjust to taste)

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for enhanced flavor)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prep the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato wedges with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until all the wedges are thoroughly coated in the herb and spice mixture.

    Preheat the Skillet: Place a large cast-iron skillet on the stove over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, swirling it around to evenly coat the bottom.

      Cook the Wedges: Carefully arrange the potato wedges in the skillet, placing them cut side down in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan; if necessary, cook the wedges in batches. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the undersides develop a beautiful golden-brown color and a crispy texture.

        Flip and Continue Cooking: Using tongs, gently flip each wedge to the other side. Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes. If you’re adding Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the wedges roughly 2 minutes before they are done cooking, allowing it to melt slightly.

          Check for Crispiness: Ensure the potato wedges are crispy and cooked through. You can test readiness by piercing a wedge with a fork; they should be tender inside. If they require more time, you can cover the skillet with a lid for a few minutes to help them cook evenly.

            Garnish and Serve: Once the wedges are perfectly crispy, remove the skillet from heat. Generously sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top for added freshness. Serve your delicious potato wedges hot, accompanied by lemon wedges for a zesty kick and enjoy every bite!
