Mediterranean Roasted Potato Wedges

Print Recipe

Mediterranean Roasted Potato Wedges are crispy, golden wedges tossed in olive oil, garlic, herbs, and lemon—oven-roasted to perfection for a flavorful side dish inspired by sunny Mediterranean flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds russet or Yukon gold potatoes, cut into wedges
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • Fresh parsley or dill, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: crumbled feta cheese or kalamata olives for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 °F (220 °C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a large bowl, toss potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, thyme (or rosemary), paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  3. Spread wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 35–40 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on edges.
  5. Remove from oven and drizzle with fresh lemon juice.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley or dill, and optional toppings like feta or olives.
  7. Serve warm as a side or appetizer.

Notes

  • Use starchy potatoes like russet for crispier results or Yukon gold for creamier texture.
  • Soak wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before baking to enhance crispiness (dry thoroughly before roasting).
  • Add feta and olives after baking to preserve texture and flavor.
  • Great served with tzatziki or hummus on the side.
