Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it's nice and hot when you put the potatoes in.

2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel. Leave the skins on for enhanced flavor and texture. Cut each potato into wedges. Aim for about 8 wedges per potato to ensure they cook evenly.

3. Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, add the potato wedges. Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes. Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, paprika, dried oregano, and garlic powder over the wedges. Toss well with your hands or a large spoon to ensure all the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potato wedges out in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Try to ensure they are not overlapping too much to allow for even roasting.

5. Roast the Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast the potatoes for about 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. The wedges should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside.

6. Check for Doneness: The potatoes are done when they are fork-tender and have a crisp, golden exterior. If they need a bit more time, return them to the oven, checking every 5 minutes.

7. Serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These wedges are perfect as a side dish or a flavorful snack.

8. Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of additional salt and paprika before serving for an extra touch of flavor.
