Potato Wedges? - All you ever wanted to know about how make potato wedges

I just cut the potatoes into wedges, sprinkle with seasoning, either chili or just salt and pepper and pour on two tablespoons of oil, mix it all up and then put on a preheated baking tray for about 30 mins.

they always come out fine.

I do the same but use mayonaise instead of oil. If you feel guilty use low fat mayo but I'm not sure if they'd taste so good!:)

How do you get your wedges crispy?

I put mine straight in the oven (on hot trays) without parboiling. and cook on 180 for about 40mins. But they always come out soft and squidgy. I'd like to get them a bit crisper, particularly the skin. Any suggestions please?

I chop the wedges, stick them in a bowl and pour some oil over them. Shake them to coat with oil, then add whatever dry flavour I'm using e.g. Cajun seasoning, salt & pepper.

Then tip onto a hot tray - I do tend to use non stick reusable baking paper on the tray.

Cook them on a high heat, turning once.
