Notes : 

1. Bake : Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C. Brush a tray with oil and add the wedges in a line. Do not over crowd the pan. Bake for 10 mins and flip as needed till crisp 

2. Potato Skin : use the potatoes with the skin for this recipe 

3. Fry the potatoes and toss just before serving to ensure that the potatoes stay crisp.
