Instructions

1. Prep the Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and herbs (if using). Arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer.

2. Make the Cranberry Glaze

While the potatoes are roasting, mix the whole cranberry sauce with honey, lemon juice, salt, and warm water in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and glossy — this will be your beautiful glaze.

3. Roast and Glaze

• Roast the potatoes in the oven for 25–30 minutes.

• Remove from the oven and toss the wedges with the cranberry glaze so every piece gets coated.

• Return to the oven for another 10–15 minutes, until potatoes are golden, slightly caramelized, and the glaze is bubbly.

💡 Tip: For extra crispy edges, turn on the broiler for 1–2 minutes at the end — just watch closely so the glaze doesn’t burn.
