Perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these potato wedges are an easy but elegant addition to any meal. Infused with aromatic rosemary and zesty lemon, they're sure to be a hit with family and friends.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure it's hot enough to crisp up the potato wedges perfectly.
2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Leave the skin on for added texture and flavor. Cut each potato into wedges, aiming for uniform size to ensure even cooking.
3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, finely chopped rosemary, salt, and lemon zest.
4. Coat the Potatoes: Add the potato wedges to the bowl, tossing them well to ensure each wedge is evenly coated with the rosemary-lemon-oil mixture. Use your hands or a spatula to thoroughly mix.
5. Arrange and Bake: Spread the coated potato wedges out in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Overcrowding the sheet can lead to steaming rather than roasting, so if necessary, use two baking sheets.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through the cooking time to ensure they are crispy and golden brown on all sides.
7. Check for Doneness: The potato wedges should be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. If they need more time, continue baking in 5-minute increments, checking for doneness.
8. Serve: Once fully cooked, remove the wedges from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy! These wedges pair wonderfully with a variety of main dishes or can be enjoyed as a delicious snack on their own.

Tips:

- For extra crispiness, bake the potato wedges on a wire rack placed on a baking sheet. This allows air to circulate around the potatoes.

- To ensure even cooking, make sure the potato wedges are cut into similar sizes.

- Feel free to add garlic or other herbs like thyme for additional flavor.

- If you prefer a tangier flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the potato wedges just before serving.

- Parboiling the potatoes for a few minutes before baking can make the insides even fluffier.

These rosemary and lemon potato wedges are not just simple to make but also burst with flavor. The combination of fresh rosemary and tangy lemon zest creates a perfect balance that complements the softness of the potatoes. Serve them hot and watch them disappear in no time!
