Fries are a family favourite, loved by kids and adults alike. So you will definitely love this healthier spin on French fries where instead of deep frying you toss them in a bit of olive oil and bake. And trust me, they are as irresistible as the fried ones.
How To Cut Potato Wedges
First cut each potato into half lengthwise. Then cut the halves into quarters. And then each quarter into half again. In simpler words, cut each half into four equal pieces. You will get 8 potato wedges from one potato.
How To Make Greek Style Potato Wedges
- Wash the potatoes well and then cut them into wedges along with their skin.
- Soak the wedges into cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch and then rinse and pat dry.
- Toss them with some olive oil and lemon juice. Then coat well with the homemade Greek seasoning.
- Place on a baking tray without overlapping and bake at 200 C for 20-40 minutes until done. Don't forget to flip them over once so both sides get equally golden.
Tips To Get Crispy Potato Wedges
- Cut the potatoes uniformly to get an even browning on them.
- Bake in a single layer, don't overlap the wedges in the pan. Otherwise instead of baking you will be steaming them.
- Use potatoes with high starch content like Russet, Yukon gold or Idaho. They have less moisture in them and crisp up more.
