Potato Wedges Cooked With Herbs – Recipe

Cooking Potato Wedges is a real simple task. Cooking Potato Wedges with herbs adds all the magic!

First of all remember, you need not peel the potatoes at all. Just wash a few medium / big potatoes properly. Then, cut the potatoes into wedges (cut into halves along the length of the potatoes, triangular in cross section).

Here’s the masala / mixture preparation, mix all of these in a bowl:
Red chilly powder – ½ tsp
Whole red chilies – 2 tsp, crushed
Pepper powder – ½ tsp
Fresh rosemary – 1 tsp, chopped
Fresh thyme – 1 tsp, chopped
Salt as per taste

Then add the wedges and mix well with the masala. Leave it for some time. Add maida (refined flour) and mix well.

Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan and place the wedges carefully. Turn them when they are cooked from one side. Keep the wedges covered while cooking. When they are done from both sides, you are ready to serve. Didn’t I tell you the recipe is easy!

NOTE: The wedges can be partly cooked, packed in a zip-lock pouch and kept in freezer for a few days. Then whenever you feel like, you can simply bake / shallow fry.
