how to make potato wedges?
Baked Potato Wedges
Ingredients
Method
- Cut the potatoes into wedges, keeping them moderately thin (ideally no thicker than ½ inch).
- Place the wedges in water as you cut them to prevent discolouration.
- Once all wedges are cut, drain the water and pat them dry using a kitchen towel.
- Transfer the wedges to a mixing bowl.
- Add olive oil, salt, red chilli powder, oregano seasoning, and crushed black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
- Arrange the wedges in a single layer on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Roast in a preheated oven at 200°C (390 ℉) for 15 minutes.
- Flip the wedges and roast for another 15 minutes.
- The wedges should turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Serve hot with a dip of your choice.
Notes
- Cooking time may vary depending on your oven; this timing is based on a convection oven.
- Thinner wedges will cook faster, so keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Soaking the potato wedges in water helps remove excess starch, resulting in crispier wedges.
- Do not overcrowd the baking tray- arrange wedges in a single layer for even crisping.
- You can adjust spices as per your taste- add paprika, garlic powder, or peri-peri seasoning for variation.
- Leave the skin on for added texture and flavour.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and crispiness, as wedges tend to soften over time.
