Ingredients
  

4 large russet potatoes, thoroughly scrubbed and cut into wedges

3 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 sea salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese (for an extra tasty finish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Skillet: Begin by setting a large cast-iron skillet on the stove over medium heat. Allow it to warm while you prepare the potato wedges to ensure a nice sear.

    Prepare the Potatoes: Cut the scrubbed potatoes into evenly sized wedges for uniform cooking. Rinse the wedges under cold water to wash away excess starch, which helps them crisp up better in the skillet. After rinsing, pat them dry thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel to remove any moisture.

      Season the Wedges: In a sizable mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano, thyme, sea salt, and black pepper. Add the dried potato wedges to the bowl, then toss them gently until each wedge is coated evenly with the flavorful mixture.

        Cook the Potatoes: Carefully transfer the seasoned potato wedges to the now-preheated skillet, spreading them out in a single layer to allow for even cooking. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on one side, or until they begin to turn golden brown and crispy.

          Flip and Cook Again: Using tongs or a spatula, turn the wedges over and cook for an additional 6-8 minutes, ensuring they achieve a beautiful golden-brown color and crisp texture on all sides. Keep an eye on the heat and adjust if necessary to prevent burning.

            Check for Doneness: To verify the wedges are fully cooked, insert a fork into the thickest part of one wedge. If it offers resistance, lower the heat, cover the skillet, and let the potatoes steam for a few minutes until they soften further.

              Garnish and Serve: Once the potato wedges are perfectly crispy and cooked through, take the skillet off the heat. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for a vibrant touch. If desired, add a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor. Serve your delicious crispy herbed potato wedges hot and enjoy!
