I used 2 potatoes, juice of half a lemon and thyme instead of rosemary. The subtle lemon flavour was lovely.

Nothing terribly special about these. I didn't think that the lemon flavour really suited potatoes.

No mention of the baked garlic clearly seen in the picture which was the reason I clicked on this recipe

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!)

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!

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

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

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