- 4 large russet potatoes (approximately 2 pounds)
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked or sweet, based on preference)
- ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried dill (or 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped)
- ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for added richness)
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F). This will ensure the potato wedges become evenly crispy.
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into even wedges, about 1.5 cm thick, to ensure they cook evenly.
- Place the potato wedges in a large bowl and add the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
- Spread the seasoned potato wedges on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are in a single layer for optimal roasting.
- Bake the potato wedges for 25-30 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through for even browning.
- While the wedges are baking, prepare the yogurt dip by mixing the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir well until creamy.
- Once the potato wedges are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Optionally garnish with fresh parsley.
- Serve the crispy potato wedges warm alongside the yogurt dip. Enjoy this delicious snack!
