Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
Seasoning & Oil
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Optional Garnish
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare it for baking the potato wedges.
- Season Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the peeled and wedged potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper, ensuring every piece is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
- Bake Potatoes: Bake the potatoes in the oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to achieve an evenly golden-brown and crispy texture on all sides.
- Add Garnish: Once golden and crispy, remove the potatoes from the oven and optionally sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley to add a fresh, vibrant flavor.
- Serve: Serve your crispy potato mojos hot as a delicious snack or a flavorful side dish.
Notes
- Make sure to flip the potatoes halfway through baking to ensure they crisp up evenly on all sides.
- For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning and baking, then dry thoroughly.
- You can customize the seasoning by adding chili powder or cumin for a different flavor profile.
- Use parchment paper or a lightly oiled baking sheet to prevent sticking and for easier cleanup.
