Ingredients
  

4 medium russet potatoes

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Zest of 1 large lemon

Juice of 1 large lemon

2 teaspoons dried dill weed

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Fresh dill sprigs for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). To facilitate easy cleanup, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

    Prepare the Potatoes: Rinse the russet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Using a sharp knife, cut each potato in half lengthwise. Then, slice each half into 4 wedges, creating a total of 8 wedges per potato.

      Make the Coating: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, dried dill weed, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until you have a smooth and cohesive marinade.

        Marinate the Wedges: Add the prepared potato wedges to the bowl, ensuring they all get coated in the lemon-dill marinade. Using your hands or a spatula, gently toss the wedges until they are uniformly covered. Allow them to marinate for about 10-15 minutes, giving the potatoes time to soak up the flavors.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Carefully place the marinated potato wedges onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Be sure to space them out adequately, as this will help them achieve a crispier texture.

            Bake to Perfection: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Bake the wedges for 30-35 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning. The wedges should be golden brown and crispy when they are finished.

              Serve: Once baked, remove the potato wedges from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. If you like, garnish with fresh dill sprigs for an extra touch of flavor and color. Serve hot, either plain or paired with your favorite dipping sauce!
