Ingredients
- baking potatoes — 4 large
- sunflower oil — 3 tbsp
- smoked paprika — 1 tsp
- garlic powder — 1 tsp
- sea salt — 1 tsp
- dried oregano — 0.5 tsp
Method
- 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/Gas Mark 6).
- 2
Wash the potatoes thoroughly, pat dry, and cut each into 8 uniform wedges.
- 3
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with the sunflower oil until evenly coated.
- 4
Add the smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and dried oregano to the bowl and toss again to ensure every wedge is seasoned.
- 5
Arrange the wedges in a single layer on a large baking tray, ensuring they are skin-side down for even cooking.
- 6
Bake for 35-40 minutes, turning halfway through, until the edges are crispy and golden and the centres are tender.
- 7
Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot.
Why this works
The combination of high-heat roasting with a simple spice rub of smoky paprika and garlic creates a savoury crust that contrasts perfectly with the fluffy, steaming interior of the potato.
