Ingredients

▢ 4 potatoes large
▢ 2 tsp Oil
▢ Salt seasoning of your choice, I used chaat masala

Instructions

▢
Wash and peel potatoes. Slice them and cut them in long strips, like for French fries. Immerse them in tap water for 25-30 minutes.
▢
After 30 minutes remove them from water and wipe the moisture off with a clean kitchen towel.
▢
Preheat your oven at this point, 210C. Meanwhile layer potatoes slices on a microwave safe tray and let them soften for 3-4 minutes. It took me 2 batches to do so.
▢
Again wipe off the moisture from the potatoe pieces as much as possible with a clean towel.
▢
Put these in a large bowl, add oil and toss them so all the pieces are coated in oil. Can add a tsp of more oil if required. I didn't require so I didn't add more. 2 tsp was enough for me. Can use any oil, sunflower, coconut , olive oil etc...
▢
Now layer them on a hot baking tray. Arrange in single layer for amazing crunch.
▢
Bake in otg for about 25 min or till they are golden brown.
▢
Remove from oven and while the wedges are still hot sprinkle some seasoning and salt and mix them well. I sprinkled chaat masala and some salt.
▢
Serve hot with any sauce, ketchup,dip or chutney of your choice and enjoy guilt free.

Notes

Softening the potatoes in microwave is essential, this step should not be skipped.
If you do not want to use microwave, then you can blanch them for few minutes and remove them onto a kitchen towel and dry them.
