Instructions

Step	Description
1	Begin by thoroughly washing the potatoes under running water to remove dirt and impurities.
2	Slice each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into wedges. Aim for even pieces to ensure uniform cooking.
3	Place the potato wedges in a large bowl, cover them with cold water, and let them soak for 20 minutes. This helps remove excess starch, resulting in crispier potatoes.
4	After soaking, drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
5	Transfer the dried potato wedges back to the bowl. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and mix until evenly coated.
6	Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the potatoes, followed by the sweet paprika. Toss well to coat evenly.
7	Add the sprigs of rosemary to the bowl, breaking them into smaller pieces if desired, and mix again to distribute the flavor.
8	Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) in static mode. Spread the seasoned potato wedges on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are in a single layer for even roasting.
9	Bake the potatoes for 40-45 minutes or until they turn golden brown and develop a crispy texture. Flip them halfway through baking for even crispness.
10	Once cooked, remove the tray from the oven. Sprinkle the wedges with a pinch of fine salt to taste.
11	Serve the crispy skin-on oven-baked potatoes immediately as a delightful side dish to complement any meal. Enjoy!

For extra crispiness, consider using a convection setting in the last 5 minutes of baking.
