Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make clean-up easier.
Toss the potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the potato wedges with olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, black pepper, and the juice of one lemon. Toss thoroughly to coat every wedge evenly with the seasoning.
Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have enough space to roast evenly.
Roast the wedges: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the potatoes for 35 to 40 minutes. Be sure to flip the wedges halfway through the cooking time to allow for even browning and crispiness.
Finish and garnish: Once the wedges are golden brown and crispy around the edges, remove them from the oven. If using, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the warm wedges, then garnish with the chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For extra crispiness, soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning to remove excess starch, then pat dry.
You can substitute lemon juice with lemon zest for a more intense citrus flavor.
Adjust seasoning quantities according to your taste preferences.
Feta cheese is optional but adds a delicious tangy contrast.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
