Baked Spiced Potato Wedges
After accidentally discovering that I still have quite a fair bunch of almost forgotten potatoes in the fridge, the experimenter cook in me decided to rub shoulders with the potatoes, give them a good de-skin and make some decent wedges out of them.
It didn’t take me too long to pick a recipe that looks promisingly easy, and my inspiration had come from a recipe I stumbled on this blog. I haven’t really tried to make home-made wedges before so this really was a first. And as I discovered, cutting potatoes into perfect-looking wedges is not as easy as it looks!
Of course I just have to modify the recipe just a little, too. NO, I didn’t screw up. They were really, really awesomely yummilicious, and here’s sharing you my find:


- 4 cloves garlic
- 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 4-5 potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
- 2-3 tablespoon smoked paprika powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon pizza seasoning powder
- Salt to taste
- Press garlic with a garlic presser and mix into the olive oil.
- Microwave the mixture of olive oil and garlic for 45 seconds. Set aside.
- Line a baking tray with aluminium foil and spread the wedges into the tray
- Pour over the olive oil with garlic onto the potato
- Add in all other seasonings to the potato wedges and make sure that they are all well coated
- Bake for 40-45 minutes at 180 degree Celsius and turn them at intervals of 10 or 15 minutes or bake until they turn golden brown
- Remove from baking tray and serve immediately.
