Why You Will Love This Recipe
Uses Mostly Pantry Staple – these potato wedges are made using ingredients you usually already have in your pantry.
Ready Under An Hour – this recipe comes together super quick!
Versatile – you can substitute the spices for whatever you have on hand. Sometimes I throw in dried, rosemary, thyme and parsley. Use any starchy potatoes like Yukon golds, if you don’t have Russets.
Can be made Vegan – skip the cheese or substitute with nutritional yeast to make it vegan and use a plant based coconut or oat yogurt for the sauce.
Tips To Get Perfectly Crispy Potatoes
- Buy good quality potatoes! I know seems basic, but make sure the skin is smooth, even and there are no sprouts growing.
- Use a kitchen towel to dry the potatoes thoroughly after washing.
- Cut the potato wedges to even thickness so cook time remains equal for the entire batch.
- Line the potato wedges evenly across the pan, with enough distance to separate each wedge from the other. This way they don’t steam and have enough dry air circulating around.
- Flip at the 30 minute mark, so each side gets golden brown. This step may seem annoying but it is essential if you want those crispy edges.
- Don’t remove them out of the oven too quick. Tempting I know, but every time you open the oven door, the temperature drops by a few degrees.
If potato wedges aren’t you thing (we need to chat about this!), use can make this Cabbage Poriyal or skip it all and relax with a margarita!
