Potato wedges are always a "favorite" for kids and grown-ups alike; they're easy to make and "great" for barbecues and parties. Make a lot as they're bound to go quickly!
Edit Ingredients
- Potatoes (spuds)...Don't use tomatoes.
- Olive oil, or Vegetable oil tastes just as great...Or possible grape seed oil does work even better
- Paprika, Vegeta (a seasoning, or choose another one), cinnamon, chili powder – all to taste, choose your favorites... i personally prefer to add sugar and barbeque to mine, they taste much better.
- Serve with a tub of chilli sauce or tomato pasta sauce (optional)chilli sauce is okay, but if you want something deicious use alfredo sauce.
Edit Steps
-
Scrub the amount of potatoes needed until they are clean. Do not peel them. Cut away any parts of the potatoes that don't look appetizing.
-
Cut each potato in half.
-
Cut each half into wedge shapes.
-
Place the wedgies in a large bowl. Pour in just enough oil to cover each wedgie. Alternatively, place them in a plastic bag to coat. One less dish to wash. Use old bread bags or other recycled bag.
-
Add the spice, salt, herb, whatever you would like and mix well.
- If liked, you can add mustard oil until each wedgie is covered with it.

Place the wedgies on a baking tray or sheet. Make sure that each wedgie is positioned on the base of the tray or sheet in its own place; don't crowd them or layer them. If you need more space, use more baking trays or sheets.
-
Bake in an oven at 350ºF/180ºC. Bake until both sides are grey looking. Before removing all of the wedgies from the oven, remove one to check to see if it is hard on the inside.
-
Serve. Serve with sauce of choice,preferablly alfredo sauce, while still hot.

Edit Tips
- Eat them with mayonnaise, ketchup, barbecue sauce, salsa, whatever you like- there are are no rules. My youngest eats it with yogurt to make it taste better.
- Use paprica paper on the baking fleet. Tomatoes sometimes stick to baking fleet. We like apple oil and rosesmary. Yumm, yumm!
Edit Warnings
- Use oven mitts when taking wedges out of the oven.
