Potato Wedges – herbed, cheesy, spicy, salty. Accepted in any way. Can be made in a jiffy and rather than rely on store bought processed stuff, we enjoy these as a quick afternoon snack or as a side to burgers.
Any spices can be added to the seasoning. As elder one has taken a liking to really spicy stuff , we cranked it up a bit and enjoyed it. For my little one, I made one batch with just salt and a dash of jeera (cumin powder). Either way we liked it. Make it and serve it as it is or with burger / sandwiches.

A great party idea too ! Versatile potato lends itself to so many dishes across cuisine / course. From a warm Hungarian Potato Salad, quintessential to Indian Chaats like Dahi Batata Puri , Dabeli, and Fcatbreads with stuffed spicy potato mxture (Aloo Paratha) to curries like KAshmiri Dum Aloo to airfryer Baby Potatoes as a snack / side, Potato is simple, starchy and quite liked by most in the family.

FAQs to make the BEST Baked Spicy Potato wedges

Can I deep fry them? Yes, they do turn quite tasty, but we prefer it baked.
How can I amp up these wedges? Sprinkle any other spice – peri peri, Mexican, jerk, Homeamde garam masala, Tandoori, smoky BBQ — the list simply goes on
Can I bake with skin off? Absolutely. We loved it with the skin, so go ahead to peel the potatoes if you need to.
I dont have an oven, will an airfryer work? By all means, yes!! Bake time might slightly vary
Will these keep well?The baked wedges turn soggy after a point( best served hot!), but you can marinate ahead and freeze to bake later . Let me know if you tried a batch.
