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. 1

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/Gas Mark 6).

  2. 2

    Wash the potatoes thoroughly, pat dry, and cut each into 8 uniform wedges.

  3. 3

    In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with the sunflower oil until evenly coated.

  4. 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. 5

    Arrange the wedges in a single layer on a large baking tray, ensuring they are skin-side down for even cooking.

  6. 6

    Bake for 35-40 minutes, turning halfway through, until the edges are crispy and golden and the centres are tender.

  7. 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.
