Potato Wedges.

[pusskin]

I bought some frozen potato wedges last week, and eaten half the packet.
Absolutely delicious, but would making your own taste even better I wonder?
have just looked up previous posts and wonder if there is anything you can add to the recipes. Thanks Abers x

I don't parboil potato wedges. I just cut the potatoes into wedges, place in a bowl with olive oil, sea salt, pepper, chilli flakes, paprika, fresh rosemary, fresh oregano and garlic. Mix it all together and pour out onto a baking tray. Bake them for 40-50 mins or until they are soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside.

Also nice made with sweet potato especially with the skin left on.

where i work one of the managers does a barbeque most weekends to help sell some of the products we sell, the other day he did some jacket potatoes then cut them open in to wedges and used this on them and put them back in the barbie to crisp them up a bit, they were gorgeous, you don't need a barbeque but can do the same thing in the oven.

For the best flavour, coat with an Italian herb mix, Divine!!!

You lot are really making my mouth water now!

I cant wait to cook the wedges again, made by myself at last.

Will re-read all your posts again and make a few notes and keep them in my kitchen for when i cook. Thanks so much Abers x pusskin

I am with headwreck. I don't parboil mine and use the plastic bag method, it cuts out so much mess. Chuck them in a plastic back with enough oil to coat, I like paprika, garlic, salt and pepper on mine, you need enough paprika so you can see a slight red colouring but not too much (although I have to temper mine for the kids), smoked paprika is nice too. If you have one of those plastic clips for resealing frozen food bags stick that on the plastic bag to avoid leakage and then give it a good shake. I reckon gas mark 4 or 5 is best for cooking as if you are cooking from raw you don't want to burn them before they are cooked through. MMMMMM Yummy, am getting hungry just thinking about it, but I have dough rising next to me for our home made pizza tonight - also yummy.
