Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly under running water, then cut each into uniform 1/2-inch thick wedges.
  3. Soak the potato wedges in cold water for about 10 minutes to remove excess starch.
  4. Drain and dry the potato wedges thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel.
  5. Spread the dried wedges on the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with seasonings. Toss to coat.
  6. Bake the wedges in the oven for about 30 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
  7. Once baked, let cool slightly and garnish with parsley or green onions if desired. Serve hot.
