Crispy Red Potatoes

I love love love these red potatoes and make them quite often. My kids just eat them right up dipped in ketchup of course. Perfect complement to any grilled meat this summer. I found this recipe a few years ago, and that's when I realized the trick to getting crispy (and fully cooked) potato wedges- boil them first. Also I make these so much that I make a huge batch of the seasonings and put them in an empty season jar labeled "red potato seasoning". That way you just toss the potatoes in the olive oil and sprinkle to your own liking whether you want the flavors hot or mild.
