Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 6 medium potatoes russets or Yukon golds, scrubbed and cut into 8 wedges each
  • to taste sea salt generously sprinkled
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
  • Cooking spray non-stick; for coating the baking sheet and wedges

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Oven
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. This high temperature is essential for achieving a crispy exterior while keeping the insides fluffy.
  2. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent the potato wedges from sticking.
  3. Scrub the potatoes well, then slice each potato into 8 even wedges.
  4. Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd them so they can crisp up properly.
  5. Give the arranged wedges a light spray with additional cooking spray to ensure an even coating.
  6. Generously sprinkle sea salt and the chopped fresh rosemary over the wedges to evenly distribute the flavor.
  7. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, turning the wedges once or twice to promote even browning.
  8. Remove the wedges from the oven when the edges are deep golden brown and the centers are tender. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

These crispy baked potato wedges are not only delicious but also versatile. You can swap the rosemary for smoked paprika or garlic powder if you want a different flavor twist. Non-stick cooking spray helps keep the fat content down while ensuring the wedges turn out wonderfully crispy. They pair perfectly with grilled meats or even a fresh side salad and are best enjoyed immediately after coming out of the oven.
