- 2
Wash the medium potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into wedges. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
- 3
Drizzle the olive oil over the potato wedges and toss them well to ensure they are evenly coated.
- 4
Sprinkle dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the potatoes, then toss again until they are fully seasoned.

- 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, turning them halfway through the cooking time.
