03 - Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece for even roasting.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The smoked paprika creates this deep, savory flavor that makes these completely addictive
  • They come together in under 45 minutes but taste like they took way more effort
02 -
  • Soaking the wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting removes excess starch and makes them noticeably crispier
  • Crowding the baking sheet is the fastest way to end up with soggy wedges instead of crispy ones
03 -
  • Cut your wedges as evenly as possible so they all finish roasting at the same time
  • Let the baking sheet heat up in the oven while you prep for an extra crispy bottom
