How to Make Balsamic Roasted Potato Wedges

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Position oven rack in the lower third of the oven.
  2. Wash and thoroughly dry 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes. Halve each potato lengthwise, then cut each half into 4 wedges.
  3. In a large bowl, toss potato wedges with 4 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Arrange potato wedges in a single layer on a large 17x11 inch baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender.
  6. Remove from oven and drizzle with 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar. Gently toss the pan to evenly coat the wedges.
  7. Return to oven and roast for another 3-5 minutes, or until the balsamic vinegar has reduced and slightly caramelized.
  8. Remove from oven and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar and additional salt to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
