Potatoes have always been one of my favorite foods and I have made this recipe for years, I just put the ingredients all together without measuring and sometimes they came out with too little salt sometimes with to much, also because I used different amounts of potatoes. So I finally started measuring the ingredients to get the seasoning and amount of oil just right. So here it is, my potato wedges recipe, you wouldn’t want to go back to those greasy unhealthy frozen fries or wedges and whatever flavourings and other weird ingredients they put in them. By cooking homemade meals you have the full control over what ingredients you use and get all the health benefits of fresh foods. This recipe is as easy as it gets, no preboiling the potatoes, simply scrub, chop, season and bake them for about an hour. No peeling needed, that’s why we’re making wedges and not fries/chips and you will get the benefits of the rich nutrients directly beneath the potato’s skin. The only thing that takes long is the cooking time, but in the meantime I’m sure you will find something else to cook to accompany the wedges.
