There’s no deep-frying required for these easy Oven-baked Crispy Potato Wedges. Beautifully seasoned with flavoursome spices, they are fabulous served with pretty much anything you wish! Serve them with sweet chilli sauce and sour cream for dipping.
Ingredients
- 1 kg unpeeled potatoes, cut into wedges (see note 1)
- 1 tsp sea salt flakes
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- Sweet chilli sauce, to serve
- Sour cream, to serve
Instructions
- Preheat – Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F) (200°C/400°F fan-forced).
- Place the potatoes in the baking dish – Arrange the cut potatoes in a large baking dish (so that the wedges are not overlapping).
- Coat the potatoes with the spice mix – Sprinkle the potatoes with salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper. Use your hands to coat the potatoes evenly with the spice mix (this is the key to the spices not clumping together!)
- Drizzle the potatoes with oil – Drizzle with olive oil, then use your hands to coat the potatoes again. Arrange the potatoes so the cut side is flat on the baking tray.
- Bake – Bake for 45 minutes or until the wedges are golden, turning once halfway through.
- Serve – Serve with sweet chilli sauce and sour cream.
Notes
Note 1 – This recipe works with any potato variety, including waxy potatoes. The results are always crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The recipe doesn’t call for the potatoes to be peeled (it’s one less step, and the skin is packed with nutrients), but you can peel them if you wish. Cut your potatoes into wedges by halving them lengthways, then cutting each half in half again. For large potatoes, cut each wedge in half once more to give you a total of eight pieces.
MAKE AHEAD
Cut the potatoes up to 24 hours before cooking. Store them refrigerated, fully submerged in water (do not add salt or flavouring to the potatoes as this will cause them to brown). Once ready to cook, drain and pat dry with a paper towel.LEFTOVERS
Best cooked and served immediately. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave or oven. Not suitable to freeze.Nutrition Facts
