Baked potato wedges


It was irresistible!!! and isn't it the same with all the potato lovers when it comes to potato wedges. I am generally not a big fan of potatoes but I love it in this form and chips and also know this is not something to be proud off too!. Being a weekend I thought of trying this, so that the whole family will enjoy it and as expected everyone loved it .
 
I generally remove the skin of the potatoes for my vegs, knowing that the dispute of eating with and without skin and the nutrition part never ends. For this recipe I did use the skin but I dumped the potatoes in salt water for few hours just to remove the impurities and also scrubbed the skin properly. And now it is time to get on to the recipe

Ingredients

Potatoes - 4-5 medium sized ones
Olive oil - 2 tbspn
Chilli flakes - 1 tbspn
Garlic crushed - few no.s ( as per your liking)
Pepper powder - half tspn - one tspn
Corn flour- 2 tspn
salt - as required

Method
As explained above clean the potatoes thoroughly and cut into quarters and keep aside.

Keep the water for boiling in the steamer and place the potatoes on the top rack and steam cook for around 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes becomes softly cooked and not over cooked.

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius

Now throw in all the potatoes to the greased baking tray and add the other ingredients to it. Mix well, make sure that the pieces doesn't crumble.

Arrange the potatoes neatly in the tray and pace in the oven. Bake for around 10 - 15 minutes and then I toasted for another 5-7 minutes so that top and bottom gets a nice crunchy crust.

Remove the tray from oven, remove the wedges to a serving plate and start gobbling it hot!

Tips
You can substitute olive oil with garlic oil 
You can add/remove the seasoning as per you choice. You can add oregano, paprika, or any other seasoning of you choice
I might grate some cheese into it next time :)
