Method

Potatoes
Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF/gas 6.

Wash the potatoes under cold running water, scrubbing well with a scrubber to get rid of any dirt (there’s no need to peel them).

On a chopping board, cut each potato in half lengthways, then cut each half in half lengthways, and then each piece in half again so you end up with 8 wedges, then add to a large mixing bowl.

Sprinkle over a tiny pinch of sea salt and black pepper, and the paprika.

Drizzle over 2 tablespoons olive oil, then toss everything together to coat.

Spread out into a single layer over two large baking trays, then bake in the hot oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
