Oven Roasted Potato Wedges

Oven Roasted Baked Potato Wedges.

I love making homemade french fries and potato wedges in the oven. At first I was wary about baking potato wedges in the oven but they actually turn out great every time. I make them about once a week with a dinner meal. I also like to make crinkle cut fries. I had no idea how crinkle cut fries were made and was excited to find out that you just use a crinkle cutter knife to make them, so easy. I make potato wedges with my crinkle cutter sometimes too because it chops the potatoes easier then a knife.

Mmmmmmm…

If your having trouble getting the fries to get that crispy golden look try putting your oven on the broil setting for a minute or two at the very end of baking. It will really help to brown them quick! Another trick I have learned is you can cut the potatoes the night before or in the morning and cover them in a bowl of water and keep them in the frig until you are ready to cook them, just make sure you dry them off well with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel before putting on baking sheet.

You can choose what ingredients below you want to add to the potatoes, sometimes I just make mine with olive oil and black pepper. The flavor combo is up to you. Fresh chopped parsley is also yummy to add after they are baked.
