Recipe tips

If you’re passing these around as finger food, omit the paprika from the potatoes as it stains the fingers!
You could use Chinese 5 Spice powder in place of paprika, or try dried thyme.
Freezing instructions: Wedges are suitable for freezing. Defrost in the microwave and reheat in the oven until piping hot.
