# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Theyre incredibly forgiving and still taste amazing even if you accidentally overcook them slightly
  • The smoked paprika creates this addictive smoky sweetness that keeps everyone reaching for more
02 -
  • Soaking the wedges in cold water for 30 minutes removes excess starch and dramatically improves crispiness
  • Pat them completely dry before seasoning or water will create steam and prevent proper browning
03 -
  • Use a rimmed baking sheet to catch any oil that might drip during roasting
  • Let the wedges cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to further crisp before serving
