Treat your ingredients with care...

• Potatoes — Make sure to choose starchy potatoes like Russet or Maris Piper for the best texture and flavor in this recipe. Cut them into thick wedges to ensure a fluffy interior and crispy exterior.

Tips & Tricks

• For extra crispiness, place the potato wedges on a wire rack set on top of the baking sheet. This allows air to circulate around the wedges, resulting in a crunchier texture.
• Experiment with different spices and seasonings to customize the flavor of the wedges to your liking. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick or sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese for a cheesy twist.
