I also parboil mine for about five minutes, then bung them into my remoska after giving them a bit of a coat with oil.Tesco do a lovely garlic flavoured olive oil that is gorgeous for coating them with.

I just wash uncooked potatoes and cut them in half length ways then cut these into three on the angle to make a wedge shape.

They go into a large bowl with some oil and spices or whatever I fancy on them and give them a good stir to coat them well. Then chuck them into the oven giving them a good shake about every so often.

Thats exactly how I do mine

If I am mega organised, I make them for the freezer too...
Cook them, about three quarters of the way...
Then freeze them on a tray. When frozen bag them.
Then if your in a rush, you only have to take out as much as you need and bake in a hot oven for 20-25 mins

And don't peel the potatoes, that's were all the goodness is, in the skin.

I use fluffy type spuds, like Maris Piper or King Eddies, use the smaller ones cut in half then in half again. Don't peel, just give 'em a quick scrub!

On a baking tray mix 4tbsp olive oil, 1tsp paprika, 2tsp dried oregano and 2 or 3 cloves garlic crushed. Give it all a good mix up and then coat the potato wedges. Pop in a hot oven 220c, gas 7 for about 1/2 hour til they are nice and crispy. Give them a shake half way through to brown both sides evenly.

Keep meaning to do this for days when I [STRIKE]can't be @r$£d[/STRIKE] am in a hurry.

I give mine a few minutes in the microwave, then toss in a bit of oil and whatever seasoning I want on them ( sometimes just salt & pepper, or garlic & herb, curry powder, BBQ or cajun seasoning) then they go in my halogen oven until browned.

ETA - I haven`t tried freezing them yet but plan to do this when I have available freezer space.

I use raw baking potatoes. I cut each potato into 6 and then spritz lihtly with olive oil and shake over seasoning. Usually chicken seasoning from Lidl but sometimes paprika then roast in a hot ove turning 1-2 times until soft and brown.

I don't par-boil mine, just cut reasonably large potatoes in half long-ways then cut each half into wedges, coat in olive oil then stick them in the oven for about 30 mins. I also leave the skin on, they're slightly healthier that way and more rustic!

I shuld say cutting baby new potatoes in half and roasting in a similar way is fab.

As this has fallen from the front page of OS, I'll add it to the existing thread to keep recipe ideas together
