1. Preheat & Prep Baking Sheet
Adjust the oven rack to the upper-middle position. Place a rimmed baking sheet on the rack. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
2. Combine for Crispness
In a large bowl, toss together the potato wedges, cornstarch, garlic powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until well coated.
3. Initial Roast
Carefully remove the preheated baking sheet from the oven. Add the vegetable oil and tilt to evenly coat the surface. Arrange the potato wedges cut side down in a single layer. Roast until edges are browned, about 30 minutes.
4. Flavor Infusion
While the potatoes roast, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, and lemon zest in a medium bowl.
5. Crisp & Coat
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Use a metal spatula to turn potatoes skin side down. Continue to roast until the potatoes are crisp and a deep golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
6. Toss & Serve
Transfer the roasted potatoes to the bowl with the herb butter mixture. Toss until evenly coated. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
