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! |
