    I thought these were really good. I soaked the wedges in water for about 30 minutes prior to baking, to help make them crispier. They cooked fasted than indicated - about 30 minutes total. A really nice substitution for fried fries. - 3/26/09

    Adding spices also really heats it up and makes them really good. I like using paprika and chili powder, but anything goes well really. - 9/6/08
