Potato wedges baked in oven with simple ingredients you will find in your pantry. With full video and step by step pictures.
Potato wedges and french fries are two things that we live on when we travel to other countries. Though I make potato wedges, it will be for a quick fix and never get chance to picture it to post. I make both deep fried version and baked version. Baked version is very rare as I don’t have patience to pre-heat, wait for sometime to get the wedges ready. Deep fried are usually quick to whip up and you will have in your hands in less than 30 mins.

I have already posted sweet potato fries and a baked version of small potatoes. So this is one of Aj’s favorite recipe and make it when ever I have enough time. I have used curry leaves just to give an Indian touch as I have also used red chilli powder. If you want you can add just black pepper and some dry herbs along with paprika. I used kashmiri chilli powder for the reason it gives a lovely colour to the fries.
