Preparation

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for roasting.
2. Cut the Potatoes: Slice the cleaned potatoes into wedges. Aim for uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
3. Mix the Seasonings: In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, salt, pepper, chopped rosemary, and garlic powder, if using.

Tossing

1. Add the Potato Wedges: Add the potatoes to the bowl with the seasoning. Toss until each wedge is evenly coated with the oil and herb mixture.

Baking

1. Arrange the Wedges: Place the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they’re not overcrowded to allow for even crisping.
2. Roast in the Oven: Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-35 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for an even roast.

Finishing Touches

1. Check for Doneness: The wedges should be tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
2. Serve Immediately: Serve while hot and crispy for the best texture and flavor.
