Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Preheat oven to 425°F and line baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal roasting surface.
- Potato Transformation: Slice potatoes into uniform wedges, ensuring consistent thickness for even cooking and appealing presentation.
- Seasoning Creation: Whisk olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper into a vibrant marinade that will infuse potatoes with Mediterranean flavors.

- Strategic Placement: Spread seasoned wedges across prepared baking sheet, positioning them with strategic spacing to promote crisp edges and thorough roasting.
- Roasting Technique: Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping wedges halfway through to ensure uniform golden-brown caramelization and crispy exterior.
- Sauce Preparation: While potatoes roast, blend Greek yogurt with minced garlic, chopped dill, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to create a cool, tangy accompaniment.
- Final Touches: Remove potatoes when deeply golden and crisp, garnish with additional fresh dill and lemon zest for bright, aromatic finish.
- Serving: Present hot potato wedges immediately alongside creamy yogurt sauce, inviting guests to explore rich, complex flavor profile.
Notes

- Seasoning Technique: Whisk herbs and oil thoroughly to distribute flavors evenly, coating each potato wedge completely for maximum taste absorption.
- Baking Sheet Strategy: Spread wedges with ample space between them to allow hot air circulation, guaranteeing crispy edges and preventing steaming.
- Temperature Control: Start with high heat, then adjust for final roasting stage to achieve that perfect golden-brown exterior with a soft, fluffy interior.
