Lots of great flavor! Mine turned out crispy (just bake it longer!)

The only reason this gets 4 stars instead of 5 is b/c the fries wern't as crispy as I like them, BUT they tasted wonderful!!! My fiancee loves spicy stuff so I added a little more cayenne pepper...which in the end kinda overpowered all the other flavors. SO thats my own fault... I didn't have any peanut oil on hand, so I substituted Sesame Seed Oil, and I was out of Lime juice(had Coronas the other night), so I used Lemon Juice. It tasted great though, just like those potato wedges you get at restaurants. I will definitly do this recipe again...very Yummy

Excellent, flavorful fries!! I cut my potatoes into thin wedges and loved how they crisped up. After marinating, I dumped them onto the sheet pan and blotted up some of the extra marinade, then baked as directed. They were wonderful! Thank you!

These were quite good. Spicy enough to please, but still do-able for the kids. Thanks for posting this!
