Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized wedges. This ensures they cook uniformly.
Rinse the potato wedges under cold water to remove excess starch. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Step 3: Season the Potatoes
In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss the potatoes again to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Step 4: Roast the Potatoes
Spread the potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded, as this will prevent them from becoming crispy.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
Step 5: Serve
Once the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven.

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
Tips for Success
For extra crispy potatoes, soak the wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before drying and seasoning them. This helps to remove more starch.
Ensure the potatoes are completely dry before adding oil and seasonings. Excess moisture can prevent them from getting crispy.
Use a high-quality olive oil for the best flavor and crispiness.
