These potato wedges really remind me of some of the delicious pub food I used to devour back in my university days. These crispy little things are so addictive! I never end up having leftovers when I make this and they're not as unhealthy as the deep fried version you usually get in the typical pub.
To make these much more healthy I bake them in the oven on a cookie sheet on a wire baking rack. The baking rack prevents the wedges from sitting in and absorbing any excess oil and allows everything to get all crispy and delicious. Below is an picture of the potato wedges before they went into the oven.
I'm confident that you'll enjoy these just as much as we do!
