Baked Potato Wedges

The first recipe which I tried with my Hamilton Beach OTG are the baked potato wedges. But since I never clicked a good picture, I did not share it with you all. Today, again I made these potato wedges and they were very good that I could not stop myself from blogging about wedges made of potato. The baked potato wedges are crispy on the outside and tender and soft at inside. You have to finish them soon when they are still hot. After they cool, they lose their crispiness.

Potatoes have zero cholesterol. They are rich in calcium which promotes bone health. Iron and vitamin B6 promotes overall health. Since they are rich in vitamin B6, it plays an important role in energy metabolism. This baked potato wedges is a very easy and quick recipe.

Addition of olive oil makes these wedges healthier. Kids love these baked potato wedges. You can reduce the red chili flakes quantity in the recipe if your kid does not like spicy food. But these wedges are an ultimate finger food to give to toddlers too. When your child returns home from tuitions, you can keep these baked potato wedges ready on the dining table and I assure you that they will be over within few minutes. You can also make semolina coated potatoes.

Very simple and easy to make. Serve the baked potato wedges with chili garlic sauce or mayo as starters for a party and impress your guests.
