Ingredients

2 lb / 1 kg potatoes , peeled (4 large ones)
3 tbsp olive oil

Seasoning

1 1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

To serve (optional - but highly recommended for optimal experience!)

Sour cream and
Sweet chili sauce
Other options: Ketchup, tomato sauce, aioli, mayo, yogurt, BBQ sauce, relish
Avocado Dipping Sauce

Method

- Preheat oven to 220°C/430°F (200°C/390°F fan/convection)

- Mix the Seasoning ingredients.

- Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4 "wedges" (so you get 8 pieces from each potato). If your potato is small/medium, just cut into 6 wedges.

- Place potatoes in a large bowl, drizzle over oil and seasoning. Toss with hands.

- Spread out on tray, ensuring cut side lies flat on the tray.

- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, turning once, or until dark golden brown and crispy.

- Serve immediately!

- Dipping sauces: Classic Aussie way is with sour cream and sweet chilli sauce. Otherwise, try tomato sauce/ketchup, BBQ sauce, yogurt, ranch, aoli.
