      I learned that if you soak cut potatoes in cold water for a half an hour then drain and bake, it makes them more crisp!
      It seems backwards, but soaking them removes the starch that makes them soggy and soft.
      It works and they are great!!

      So very good! And baking them means lower calories, less fat, and truly more potato flavor…

      Mix the oil and spices together in a large bowl, add the potato wedges, then, using a large wooden spoon, toss the potato wedges to coat. Much quicker and easier than trying to brush the oil mixture onto each individual potato wedge!

      Bianca, yes! Just toss them into a skillet over medium heat. Stir occasionally to ensure they brown evenly.

      Hi Lucky ~ we're actually in Arizona {although originally from Washington State ~ Seattle area}.

      Up in Washington, they are even sold at grocery store deli's as "Jo Jo's" 🙂
