Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
Season Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, black pepper, and freshly squeezed lemon juice until every wedge is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
Arrange for Roasting: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are spaced out for even roasting and maximum crispiness.
Roast the Wedges: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 35 to 40 minutes. Flip the wedges halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning and crisp edges.
Finish and Serve: Remove the crispy potato wedges from the oven and immediately sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese if desired. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a bright, fresh finish. Serve warm.

Notes

For extra crispy wedges, soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking to remove excess starch, then dry thoroughly.
Feel free to customize the seasoning by adding rosemary or thyme instead of oregano.
Serve with a side of tzatziki or Greek yogurt sauce for a creamy dipping option.
Omitting feta makes this dish vegan-friendly.
Use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes for best texture and flavor.
