Spicy Maple Roasted Potato Wedges

This recipe is easy to assemble and warming to the taste buds. The potatoes turn out crispy on the outside and tender on the inside with just the right balance of sweet and spicy. I think this recipe has just the right amount of heat, but you can adjust the chili powder and cayenne pepper to your taste. I like to serve this with my Spicy Maple-Sauced Pork Chops.
