I know a lot of people don't do a lot of frying in the kitchen, they prepare roasting and baking their food. My son and I absolutely love french fries, everytime I buy potatoes, he asks me if I can make him fried chips, although I know they are not healthy, I do fry him some chips, good thing I don't buy potatoes a lot, and when I buy potatoes more than 3 times a week, I opt for potato wedges.

HOW DO YOU CUT POTATOES INTO WEDGES?

Start by scrubbing your potatoes until all the dirty is removed. Potatoes must be cleaned regardless of whether they look clean or not. 

Peel potatoes. I do not like eating unpeeled potatoes, but if you love them with their skins on then cut them without removing the skin.

Slice each potato in half lengthwise. Cut each half in half again lengthwise to make quarters, slice those quarters into eights. 

HOW DO YOU MAKE POTATO WEDGES?.

After slicing all your potato wedges, it's now time to coat them with flavor. I use a blend of olive oil, black pepper, white pepper, curry powder, and braai and grill seasoning. Put your potatoes in a large bowl, add olive oil and seasonings and hands toss the wedges until well coated. 

Bake potatoes at 425°F for 30 to 40 minutes or until browned and crispy. Add a sprinkling of parsley.

WHAT TYPE OF POTATOES ARE BEST FOR POTATO WEDGES?

For crisp wedges that fluffy on the inside, choose russets, Yukon gold or red potatoes. 

Your wedges can be peeled or unpeeled. 

Tip

I didn't add salt to the potatoes because Braai and grill seasoning already has salt.
