Episode 108 - Baked Potato Wedges

I tell you one thing, these wedges of sweetness are just mindblowing! I made these the other night for dinner. It is so full of goodness that you'd just eat it plain. They go great at parties or as afternoon snacks! They're easy to prepare but it takes a lil' bit more time to cook. Alright, the sweetness starts here:

Baked Potato Wedges

Ingredients:
6 Australian Washed Potatoes
5 tablespoon of Olive Oil
2 teaspoon of (freshly grounded) Pepper (black or white, it does'nt matter)
2 teaspoon of Paprika powder
1 teaspoon of Salt

Method:
Firstly, preheat the oven to gas number 5-6. Then, cut the potatoes in wedges (leave the skin on), first in half then wedge them around 4 each sides. After cutting all the potatoes, marinate them with 2 tablespoon of olive oil, and the rest of the ingredients. Toss the potatoes and set the bowl aside in the fridge for an hour or so. On a large baking tray, laid with aluminium foil, grease it with the leftover Olive oil and lay each piece of wedges on the flat side. Bake the potatoes in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Then switch the oven to top heat on and let the potatoes brown and crisp for a few minutes. Make sure to watch when this is done so you will not burnt the sweet ones.

Sprinkle a little chopped/dried Parsley and serve warm with dips (try them with Chilli Sauce or Sweet and Sour dip) or you can just eat them straight that way. Mmmm, sweeeeettt.

Serves: 6-7
