Instructions

1

Season the Wedges

Cut potatoes into even wedges about eight per potato. Toss with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt until all sides are well coated.

2

Microwave Covered

Arrange wedges in a single layer on a microwave-safe plate and cover loosely with a damp paper towel. Microwave on high for 4 minutes until nearly cooked through.

3

Finish Uncovered

Remove paper towel and microwave uncovered for 1 final minute to allow excess moisture to escape and the outside to firm slightly before serving.
