We really liked how these turned out. Definitely a keeper!

Used a lot less oil and they were still fine. Don't know why but I've had better luck getting larger potato wedges crispy than I did with these.

Very good but could have used alot less oil. They came out very nicely browned. Will make again reducing the oil to 1/8 cup or less. Thanks for a no-fry french fry!

these were great! I made this as a side dish to some burgers that we had for dinner. I added 1/2 tsp oregano, 1/4 tsp cumin and a dash of chili powder. Yum!! Thanks for the recipe.
