Recently, I came across too many potato wedges posts, on Facebook and magazines and practically everywhere :). Some were frying these , some were grilling them and some were baking them! I think it is a perfect party food to take to Fiesta Friday, co-hosted by 2 of my favorite blogger buddies, Burgerbird, Sue and BBB, Prudy. Hope you girls like it and get a nice crunch out of these.
My kids love grilled potato salad. My oldest loves oven grilled red potato salad with Italian seasonings. I have adapted my recipe from Salma’s post. She is a dear blogger friend who blogs from blogspot. She is an excellent blogger and a fantastic photographer. I am a big fan of her. She doesn’t even know that I am shouting out for her :).
Kitchen Equipments Required : oven, pressure cooker or big pan, foil, baking tray, chopping board, knife, bowl.
Ingredients :
Russet Potatoes : 2 large or 4 small. Any other kind is okay too.
Oil : 3-4 tbsp
Cornflour : 1 tbsp
Rosemary : 1/2 tsp
Thyme : 1/2 tsp
Black pepper powder : 1/4 tsp
Fancy paprika or degi mirch : 1/4 tsp
Garlic powder : 1/2 tsp, optional
Salt : to taste
Method :
- Parboil the potatoes. Don’t make them mushy. If you are pressure cooking, then 1 whistle is enough. Take them out and cool them.
-
Preheat the oven at 425*F. Line the baking tray with foil.
-
Take a bowl. Add all the ingredients in the bowl, besides the par boiled potatoes. Mix all the ingredients well. Set aside.
-
Peel the potatoes. Chop them in thick wedges, not more than 1/2 an inch in thickness.
-
Toss the chopped potato wedges in the bowl with mixed spices.
-
Spread the wedges on the baking sheet in single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes till the wedges are crisp and golden. Flip them in between at about 12-15 minutes. Rotate the tray for even baking.
-
Enjoy them warm!

Would have made a vegetarian version of my corn chowder had I known about your soup event, Sonal. But there’s still time, looks like. Will need to get busy! Potatoes look great. My #1 fave food as you may have known is fried potatoes. This is a healthy alternative, yay! 🙂

Thanks Nancy. Aanya enjoyed it thoroughly for whom I made these :).
Hi Sonal, I love potatoes and have been avoiding them because cutting down on calories. But, I must tell you, at Fiesta, I am going to have some of these no matter what! 😛 Fae.
:)thanks Priya
Love ya Fae :). Where have you been?
Sonal, you really managed to get these potatoes crisped on the surface . . . is it the cornflour I wonder? They look sooooooo tasty, especially for as healthy as the recipe is. I must try! Thank you for bringing such a simple and healthy take on fries to this party!
Yes that’s Cornflour :)).
I think these pics definitely count as food porn, your post is making me hungry even though I have eaten! X

Thank you Simi!
pressure cooking them? never thought of that.. i never know though.. what counts as one whistle? up to temp.. it locks itself.. then??? great looking wedges…
Mr. Fitz, thanks for the compliment.
I cook a lot in pressure cooker. It mainly works on cooking by steaming and accelerating the process. It locks and a weight sits on the top to gauge the pressure build up and release. It normally takes 7-10 minutes before the whistle makes a noise. That is good for par boiling the potatoes. For mushed up texture, cook further in pressure cooker on simmer for further 7-8 minutes. That time varies for different things though!
Yeah.. I have one yet modern with no weight .. Have been looking for some kinda guide!
Found something for you! I hope that is helpful.

Fabulous!! I have some leftover potatoes from last night that I can try this with ☺️ excellent!! Can I use anything else instead of cornflour?
So yummy, Sonal 🙂 I love Potatoes, they are so versatile and always tasty !
The pic itself is yummmm ……
I love me some potatoes! And these look absolutely delicious Sonal! I miss eating potatoes!
It is a great idea to cook in a pressure cooker prior to baking. Would save so much time! I will try this.
