This is a recipe that I have used for some years now, and occasionally I try it out with slightly different spices. Garlic and parmesan potato wedges, seasoned and oven roasted to perfection. I tend to have these whenever I am craving chips, but do not want to go out and buy some from the store or a fast food restaurant. The great thing about them is that you can control how much oil and salt you put into them, they are vegetarian and gluten free; they are perfect on their own, or as a side dish, and are guaranteed to go down well with everyone.
Prep time 15 mins | Cook time 30 mins
Serves: 4-6 people
Ingredients
- 2 tsp Garlic powder
- 3-4 large potatoes, sliced long ways
- 2 tsp Paprika
- 2 tsp Salt
- 2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 4 tbsp Olive oil
- 170g Parmesan cheese (sometimes I sway the parmesan with grated cheddar cheese)
Method
Wash and cut your potatoes, making sure you leave the skin on. Cover a large baking tray with a baking sheet and lightly oil it. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees C.
In a small bowl mix together the seasonings; salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder. Place the potato wedges into a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil and season them with the mixed spices, tossing the wedges to coat them.
Place the wedges onto the baking sheet, skin side down, and bake them in the oven for 25-35 minutes, or until they are fork-tender and golden,
Serving
Serve hot. I usually dip these delights into mayonnaise or blue cheese dressing. Whatever you choose to have them with, just enjoy!!
How many Zambians can afford to cook such. please please place this in the pf handbook
Kaso aka, that’s a lot of wedges from 3 potatoes, and just eating yeka yeka with fanta?
Simple enough and good enough. I would peel off the skin regardless…
@Vizungu, iwe gelo I told you to start your own opposition cooking articles. You always oppose, Kanta. She says leave a, iwe at I you better go down with G-string.
Iwe @Nostra don’t be funny, I am not a gelo. I ask you to do your own show because of always picking on Kanta and you spin it into you asking me to start ‘opposition’ cooking article!!? Uicindike mwaice…
So you eat wedges on their own…this is like showing how to cook nshima and not displaying what you eat it with!!
But you used to eat porridge with salt, why are you now so concerned about what to eat wedges with!?
Elo bwacha…?
Not everyone had the same upbringing as you!!
In the Western world they do eat wedges by themselves as a snack , Vizungu if you take the skin off they are called chunky chips by the whites. Apparently the skin is full of goodness. I wash them first big time.
Meant to add what media outlet has cooking in its headlines when the economy and political stuation is under pressure
Life does not only revolve around economy and politics, otherwise it will be a borefest…
Haven’t you noticed that these boards are already dreadfully boring because of too much politics! Once in a while when they are spiced with football, cooking, science, nature, sociology, engineering and geophysics, there’s a buzz in the comments section…!?
Vizungu. Very true hope your mining venture can progress.
Hope so too, still pushing. Catch 22 situation is a reality…
