VIDEO: Make potato wedges yourself
Make your own crispy potato wedges
- Put yourself a kilo firm, medium-sized, soft-boiling potatoes rightly. Since the potato wedges are eaten with the bowl, it must be cleaned thoroughly before preparation.
- Wash each potato individually under clear running warm water. Use a vegetable brush to remove stubborn dirt from the potatoes. Do not use detergents or similar cleaning agents.
- Preheat your oven (convection) to 200 ° C. The baking sheet is covered with a sheet of parchment paper and prepared.
- Cut the entire potatoes lengthways in half, then into quarters and finally into eighths lengthways. Potatoes whose eighths turn out to be very large can be cut in half lengthways one more time. Always cut potatoes lengthways and not widthways. This is the only way to get the typical potato wedge shape.
- So that the potato wedges can be baked spicy, the right spice mixture must be mixed.
- Make the basic mix yourself and mix the sea salt, paprika powder and pepper together. Wedges are considered a hearty snack. The spice mixture can therefore be rather strong.
- Brush each potato slice generously with the cooking oil. Roll the skinless sides of the potato in the spice mixture.
- Place the potato slices skin-side down on the baking sheet.
- Put the tray in the oven and reduce the heat to 150 ° C.
- Depending on the size, the potato slices take 20 to 40 minutes to finish baking.
- Check the potato wedges in between to see whether they are completely baked. To make them even more crispy, you can brush them a second time with oil.
