Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Peel the potatoes and cut into thick wedges. Put in a pan, pour in enough water to cover and bring to the boil. Simmer for 2 mins, then drain well, shaking the colander.
  2. Put the olive oil, lemon juice and rosemary in a roasting tin with some salt and pepper. Add the potatoes and toss well until they are coated and glistening. Leave to soak up the oil and lemon for 10 mins, then bake for 20-30 mins, shaking the tin halfway through until the potatoes are nicely browned and glossy.

    I was a bit disappointed with these: they look and sound delicious but I found they took much longer to cook than stated and even then did not go very crispy (maybe a larger baking tin would help). I aso found the lemon flavour very strong. I probably won't make these again.

    Absolutely lovely, I halved the recipe for the two of us and served them with the Rarebit Pork Chop and salad. Yummy yummy :-)

    These are great - leaving the potatoes to soak up the lemon juice for a while is a great idea and I added some whole garlic cloves 5 mins from the end like in the picture. Only negative comment is that they took about 40 mins instead of the time stated, but that could just come down to my oven and personal preference! I served them with the steak and coriander salsa recipe elsewhere on this site and the fresh flavours complemented each other really well.

    Really good recipe! I put a little olive oil, & a good few grinds of this rock salt with rosemary & lemon (bought in Spain) in a freezer bag, added the warm wedges to coat, then put them on a layer of baking parchment, before popping them in the oven, skins down. Went down a storm with spicy baked chicken drumsticks, & hardly any mess to clear up!

    Delicious recipe if you adapt it! Seriously - "Juice 2 lemons" ? This has to be a typing error. If not - Mary Cadogan, did you really test this recipe? The juice of 1 lemon is plenty (and if the lemon is really juicy, you will only need half)

    Lovely! I cut the lemon juice by half and I'm very glad I did, but aside from that these are absolutely delicious.

    I made these yesterday and they were scrumptious! I doubled the quantity but kept at two lemons to cater for fussy little ones, and also cooked them for a lot longer (1 hr) until they were crispy - delicious

    Regular potatoes doesn't get along very well with me but I wonder if I can use sweet potatoes instead. Please could anyone help? thanks

    Wow, these are the best wedges I have ever made. Lovely and crispy with a great flavour. I used less lemon juice as people had commented about it being too strong. Will definitely make this again!

    Did these this evening and really liked the lemony-ness. I think I'll do this again. I agree that they take longer than this to cook, though! (Mine were ready after the other things I made, even though I put them in a bit early because of the existing comments!)
