Why you’ll love this Potato Wedges recipe
⭐️ Cheap as…chips! ⭐️ Healthier and tastier than shop bought ⭐️ Gluten free, easy and delicious ➡️ OR use this hack… I like to use an apple divider gadget that cuts the potato into the right shape in an instant. Yes, you’re left with a core-shaped chip from the middle but I’m OK with that! I use this Oxo Good Grips one and it honestly makes the job so much quicker.

⭐️ No sticking ⭐️
Make sure you use a non stick baking tray, a reusable non stick liner or greased foil to make sure the wedges don’t stick and break apart.
⭐️ How to coat with seasoning ⭐️
Put the wedges into a mixing bowl with all of the seasoning ingredients and and toss until they’re well covered.
⭐️ Cook the wedges on their ‘backs’ ⭐️
You don’t have to do this (it isn’t shown in the pictures here), but it can be worth taking the time to line the wedges skin-side down as this allows them to cook really evenly and they have less chance of sticking.
⭐️ Cooking in batches ⭐️
In order to make sure your wedges are all cooked evenly, you mustn’t crowd them. Depending on how many you’re making at once, this might mean cooking them in batches. This is simple to do: Simply cook your batches and then throw them all in together at the end, reheating for about 6-7 minutes.
⭐️ Dry the wedges ⭐️
Make sure you do this with kitchen roll or a clean tea towel to take the excess moisture out of the potato. This will help them crisp up.
⭐️ Seasoning ⭐️
Feel free to choose some different spices instead of the sweet smoked paprika if you like. Cajun and fajita seasoning works well. Dried herbs or chilli powder for spice do too.
⭐️ remember: DO NOT OVERCROWD ⭐️
This is really important to ensure you get the right consistency and everything is cooked through in good time. If you don’t give them some air and space, they will be soggy, undercooked and they’ll take ages.
