Potato
Wedges

Potato wedges is my little girls favourite, she
has been asking me for quite some time to make wedges but I kept postponing it.
Potato wedges are called as jojo in United states, mojos is Western Canada and
with different names in Germany, Russia, Sweden etc.  Potato wedges are super easy to make and a
very simple dish and is a perfect accompaniment with any food. The potatoes are
cut to wedges with the skin on and then baked in the oven or fried in a vat.
You can add different flavours to it, but here I made a very simple and basic
version of potato wedges.

Here’s how to make Potato wedges with step by
step photos…

Ingredients

Method

Scrub and wash the potatoes really well to get
rid of all the mud and dirt. Cut the potatoes to chunchy wedges as shown in the
photo.

Boil water in a big pot with salt. Once it
starts to bubble, slowly add the potato wedges and boil it for about 8 minutes
and switch off the stove. Drain the water completely and let it cool down for couple of minutes.

Add the salt, black pepper powder[freshly
ground], olive oil  to the potatoes and
toss it well so they are coated well in all the pieces.

Transfer the potato wedges to the baking tray or
roasting pan in to one single layer.

Bake it in the top rack in the oven for 30 min
or until they turn golden, crisp and cooked.  

Thank you very much guys for going through the
recipe, so what are you waiting for enjoy this simple potato wedges with fried
eggs, sandwich and some ketchup.
