I never par boil, just chuck 'em in a bowl with olive oil, the add flavouring (I use lemon juice and thyme) then put them in the oven for about 20 - 30 mins.
I do the same as you but I use Cajun seasoning instead. Swartz do a jar of it for £1.48 which is much cheaper than thier wedges seasoning sachets.

I don`t parboil either. I make these a lot because they are quick easy and tasty. I quarter the potatoes and cut each slice into a wedge,add some oil some paprika and sometimes some herbs. I make sure they are well coated and cook for about 45 mins on Mk 6.0

I don't bother to parboil them. Don't see why you shouldn't use BBQ seasoning on them, I will have to give it a try (usually only use salt and pepper)0

I will get back to you after I've asked Aunt Bessie. The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life.

I don't parboil mine. Just a light coating of olive oil and a dusting of paprika (for added flavour:D )
Absolutely delicious!0 -
Hi maisiegirl,
We have a great thread on making potato wedges that should help so I've merged your thread with it as it helps to keep all the suggestions together.
