"These simply yummy potato wedges are fast and easy to make...You could use any spice combo you wish but this one is the best at our home.The tip to crispy fries is to rinse the potatoes under cold water 3 times to remove the starch...completely dry the potatoes in a clean tea towell as well......The kids will really like them and they are a lot healthier for everyone...."

I made this recipe X4 to include as part of my finger food counter (along with several choices of dip) for a group I host monthly! I did cut back on the cajun seasoning & the chili powder & left out the pepper altogether, & still my guests enjoyed these tasty bites! Thanks for sharing your recipe!

We enjoyed these fries tonight for dinner. They baked up very nicely in the oven -- browned and crispy on the outside but soft and smooth on the inside. The only thing I will do differenty next time is cut back a tad on the spices - especially the pepper. There are a lot of variations that one could do with these as well (in varying the different spice combinations).
