Crispy Baked Potato Wedges aka ‘French Fries’
Does this look deep fried or baked…..ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ These Crispy Baked Potato Wedges aka ‘French Fries’are baked and not deep fried, I swear. Believe me they taste equally yummy if not better. And while I am typing for this post… they are just gone ðŸ˜ðŸ˜. No trace at all.
My family including me love to have French fries. But what we get in market are deep fried and expensive. Crispy Baked Potato Wedges aka ‘French Fries’ is my healthier and better version of those French fries. As this was super duper blockbuster hit at my home, thought of sharing with you All. So that you all may make these for your family and relish these without any guilt. Let’s see how we can make Crispy Baked Potato Wedges aka ‘French Fries’

3-4 large potatoes

I used chaat masala and salt

2 tsp oil

Salt and seasoning of your choice

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.

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