Peel the yukon gold potatoes and rinse them in water to remove dust or sand.

Slice the potatoes into wedges about half an inch thick, ensuring they are of similar size for even cooking.

In a mixing bowl, season the potato wedges with 1 teaspoon of oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 3 tablespoons of vegan olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.

Grease a baking pan or tray with oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Pour the seasoned potatoes into the greased pan and spread them out in a single layer.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

After 30 minutes of roasting, take the pan out and flip the potatoes to the opposite side to ensure even browning.

Roast again for another 20 minutes.

While the potatoes are roasting, melt 3 tablespoons of salted butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat.

Add 4 minced garlic cloves to the melted butter and stir until the garlic starts to smell nice.

Add 3 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley to the garlic mixture, stir, and remove from heat.

Remove the potatoes from the oven when they are evenly golden, pour the garlic and butter mixture over them, and toss to coat nicely.
