Instructions

Preparing the Potato Wedges

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Toss the potato wedges with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet.

3. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden and crispy. Flip halfway through for even cooking.

Crafting the Chocolate Dip

1. While the wedges cook, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together. You can use a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently.

2. Once melted, stir in a pinch of sea salt. This enhances the chocolate's flavor and adds a delightful contrast to the wedges.

Combining the Elements

1. After the wedges are cooked, let them cool for a few minutes. Dip one end of each wedge into the melted chocolate, coating it generously.

2. Place the chocolate-dipped wedges on a wire rack or parchment paper to set.

Optional Serving Suggestion

Serve with a side of whipped cream or your favorite ice cream for an extra indulgent experience. A sprinkle of finely chopped nuts or a drizzle of caramel sauce can also elevate this dish to new cosmic heights!
