    These easy-to-make potato wedges are satisfying and delicious. Line the roasting tray with baking paper to prevent sticking.

Wash the potatoes and halve lengthwise. Cut each half into 4-6 long wedges. Place in a saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil. Boil potatoes for 1 minute then drain.

Preheat the oven to 250°C (500°F).

In a medium bowl combine the paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, thyme and about 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground pepper. Gently toss the drained potato wedges with the spices. Add the oil and toss gently to coat the potatoes. Place the wedges on a shallow roasting tray lined with baking paper and roast in a preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until cooked and golden.
