  • Completely remove the water and add all the ingredients to the bowl with the potatoes.

  • Mix everything together with the help of a spoon. Make sure all the ingredients are well distributed.
  • Place the potatoes on a baking sheet, making sure they are well separated from each other.
  • After 25-30 minutes turn all the potato wedges over. This step is important to achieve an even crispness.
  • Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes or until crisp and golden brown.
  • Adjust salt if needed and enjoy your crispy baked potatoes!

Notes

Tip:
Use yellow-fleshed potatoes (thus less floury). It will be easier to get crispy potatoes
