Roasted Potato Wedges

I love potatoes. Perhaps it is my Irish roots or my cravings for warm and nourishing foods, but I find potatoes one of the most customizable, delicious starchy vegetables. My ideal potato wedge has darkened, crispy edges, while the inside stays fluffy and light. The secret I’ve uncovered to achieving this perfect balance is all in the oven temperature and cooking time. I heat my oven to 425°F and cook the wedges for 25 minutes. Then, I remove the pan from the oven, flip the wedges, and bake for another 20. Without fail, this method has worked every time. My oven does tend to run hot, so adjust accordingly. I use a dry seasoning mix that adds delicious flavor. I find smoked paprika adds an unexpected taste that works wonderfully with the other spices. Fresh parsley makes a fantastic garnish, truly pulling all the flavors together. They require minimal oil and make a healthy, tasty side dish.
