Ingredients

  • 800g Potatoes, about 4 medium, unpeeled, scrubbed
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp Salt

You’ll need: 2 baking trays

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200°C fan (220°C conventional). Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.

  2. Cut each potato in half lengthways, then cut each half into 3–4 thick wedges.

  3. Toss the wedges in a large bowl with the oil, paprika and salt until evenly coated.

  4. Spread over the trays, skin side down, in a single layer with space between. Crowded wedges steam instead of crisping.

  5. Bake for 35–40 minutes, turning once halfway, until golden and crisp at the edges and a knife slides into the thickest part easily.

Storage

Best eaten fresh. Fridge up to 2 days; re-crisp in a hot oven for 10 minutes.
