Ingredients
  

4 medium russet potatoes, cut into wedges

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for a kick)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Potatoes: Start by washing and scrubbing the russet potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into wedges (about 8 wedges per potato) and place them in a large bowl.

    Season the Wedges: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano, thyme, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Pour this mixture over the potato wedges, tossing them until they are evenly coated.

      Preheat the Skillet: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the potato wedges in a single layer. You may need to work in batches if your skillet can't accommodate all wedges at once.

        Cook the Wedges: Allow the potato wedges to cook undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy. Flip them carefully using tongs and continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes on the other side, adding more oil if necessary.

          Final Crispy Touch: Once the wedges are cooked through and crispy all around, reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Let them sit for about 3 minutes to help them crisp up even more.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat. Transfer the crispy herbed potato wedges to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

              Enjoy: Serve warm as a delightful side dish or a tasty snack!
