Garlic Potato Wedges
Description
The Garlic Potato Wedges recipe begins by cutting potatoes into wedges with skins left on, then tossing them in olive oil, garlic granules, salt, and black pepper. The seasoned wedges are spaced evenly on a greased baking tray to ensure air circulation for crispness during roasting at 200°C (400°F) for 35-40 minutes. The result is wedges that are soft inside while golden and crisp externally.
The garlic seasoning adds a strong savory note without overwhelming the potatoes, and the skin-on wedges provide additional texture and flavor. The baking approach focuses on dryness and crispness by carefully spacing the wedges to avoid steaming.
These wedges work well as a side for casual dinners or as a snack, especially when garnished with fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or coriander or finished with a sprinkle of parmesan for extra sharpness and crisp texture.
Ensuring that potato wedges are not crowded allows them to crisp, and using two baking trays can help. Adding fresh herbs or parmesan near the end of baking can enhance flavor and texture.
Ingredients
- 800 g potato skin on
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 2 tablespoon garlic granules
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C(fan)/400°F/Gas 6.
- Cut 800 g Potatoes into wedges.
- Put the potatoes in a large bowl and add 2 tablespoon Olive oil, 1 pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper and 2 tablespoon Garlic granules and mix well.
- Lightly grease a baking tray and add the wedges, making sure there is enough space between them to allow air to circulate and make them crispy.
- Put them in the oven for 35-40 minutes, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and golden on the outside.
Notes
- Space the wedges evenly on the baking tray to avoid steaming and enable crisping; use two trays if needed.
- Add fresh herbs such as chives, coriander, or parsley before serving to enhance flavor.
- For extra crispiness and flavor, sprinkle parmesan cheese on the wedges about five minutes before finishing baking and return to the oven.
