I know I don’t really have to do any real selling here. We all know what potato wedges are and we all LOVE them. They make a great side for just about anything or are delicious on their own served with sour cream and sweet chilli sauce (the Aussie way!). My version is lightly seasoned with paprika and garlic powder which gives great flavour. They are perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft and pillowy on the inside - just like a good potato wedge should be!

Which potato is best for potato wedges?
You’ll want to use a good starchy roasting potato when making wedges. In Australia white or brushed potatoes will be great. Otherwise try Sebago, Russet, Yukon Gold etc. Also try and pick larger potatoes as they will make larger wedges!

How do I make crispy potato wedges?
Preheat oven to 200C / 390F & line baking tray with baking paper. Cut each potato in half lengthways, then cut each half in half again lengthways. Finally, cut each piece in half again lengthways. You should have 8 wedges from each potato - each a similar length and thickness.
Place all ingredients in a bowl & mix well. Spread wedges into a single layer on the baking tray, and make sure to keep a little space between them all. Pop tray into oven and cook, flipping half way through, until golden brown and crisp (approx. 30-35 mins).
Serve immediately with a sprinkle of salt on top!
