Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 800g floury potatoes, such as Maris Piper
Seasoning & Marinade
- 4 tbsp sunflower oil
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp coarse sea salt flakes, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Heat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan) or gas mark 7 to ensure it reaches the right temperature for roasting the potato wedges to crispy perfection.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Cut the potatoes lengthwise into sixths or eighths, keeping the skins on for extra texture and flavor.
- Make the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the sunflower oil, sweet paprika, fine sea salt, red wine vinegar, and ground black pepper. Mix well to create a savory marinade for the potatoes.
- Marinate the Potatoes: Toss the potato wedges in the marinade, making sure they are evenly coated. Let them marinate briefly while the oven finishes preheating.
- Arrange for Roasting: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the marinated potato wedges in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded to promote even roasting.
- Roast the Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 30 minutes, turning the wedges halfway through cooking. This step helps achieve a golden, crispy texture on all sides.
- Finish and Serve: Once golden and crispy, remove from the oven and optionally sprinkle with coarse sea salt flakes for an added crunch and flavor boost. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Using floury potatoes like Maris Piper ensures a fluffy interior and crispy exterior.
- Turning the wedges halfway through roasting is crucial for even crispiness.
- Marinating the potatoes allows the paprika and vinegar flavors to penetrate deeply.
- You can substitute sunflower oil with other neutral oils like vegetable or canola oil.
- Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more paprika or salt if preferred.
