Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
Season the potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, black pepper, and fresh lemon juice until they are evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
Arrange on the baking sheet: Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to crisp up properly.
Roast the wedges: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the potatoes for 35 to 40 minutes. Flip them halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning and crispiness.
Add finishing touches: Once the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges, remove them from the oven. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese if desired, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Cut the potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
Flipping halfway through roasting is crucial for browning all sides evenly.
Feta cheese is optional but adds an authentic Greek flavor and creamy texture.
Use fresh lemon juice for a bright, tangy finish that complements the herbs and spices.
These wedges can be served as a side dish or a snack and pair well with grilled meats or a fresh salad.
