Ingredients

5 Idaho potatoes, peeled and sliced into long wedges
Olive oil
Store-bought BBQ spice mixture
Salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Place the potato wedges in a saucepan with 2 quarts of cold salted water. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for approximately 5 minutes, or until a knife pierces through easily. Drain. In a large bowl, toss the wedges with olive oil. Place the BBQ spice and salt in a shallow dish and roll the wedges in it. Place the wedges on a sheet pan in single layer and roast for 15 to 20 minutes until crispy.

Yum
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Mine were a little on the salty side also, but I thought they were great! I left the peel on, and only a few fell apart. I... threw the boiled potatoes in a bag with a little olive oil and the bbq spice and mixed them in there, which saved me a dish or two during clean-up. Even the ones that fell apart were good, though. They were those delicious little crunchy ones that everybody wants :)Read more

To peel or not to peel
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have always peeled potatoes for oven fried wedges. I thought I saw peels ON when Michael placed these wedges into his oven.... I didn't use this recipe yet, but will certainly leave peels on - they add extra crispiness and nutrition.Read more

Too salty...modification needed
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Overall the recipe was good but I will not use the BBQ and salt mixture again. The potatoes turned out extremely salty. I... used the suggestion made by someone else, which was the seasoned bread crumbs, on a few wedges I had left over. Be sure to watch the time on the boiling because they will fall apart. Also I did not peel my pototoes which I think helped them not fall completely apart.Read more

Just Okay
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I thought Michael left out a few important steps in this recipe. I am not a very experienced cook yet, and I did not know... that you should run cold water over the potatoes after you drain them, to stop them from cooking. I have a feeling that is why my potatoes fell apart. It would have been nice of Michael to have added this tip in his recipe.Read more

a few changes make this a 5 star
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Bread crumbs instead of bbq spice... either garlic & herbs or parmesean do well. Oh yeah and adding asiago cheese on top... while they are cooling is icing on the cake.Read more

Fell apart
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

Not sure wedges should be peeled. Did I do something wrong they just fell apart?
