Potato wedges is a dish no can resist! By baking them with less oil it makes it healthier and guilt free to snack on. I like my wedges with a traditional bechamel sauce that I’ve flavoured with garlic. Sharing recipe of both here.

Steps

40 mins

1

Wash and peel potatoes. Cut them into wedges as shown below.
2

In a bowl of boiling water, add the wedges to remove the starch. You will see it float up and settle on top.
3

Now transfer the potatoes into cold water. Soak for 5 mins to remove the remaining starch. This process helps to make our wedges extra crispy.
4

Remove the wedges from water. Drain onto tissues or kitchen towel until dry.
5

On a greased baking tray with butter, place the wedges with gap in between. Add the chopped garlic, coriander and 1 tbsp salt all over. Drizzle olive oil over the wedges. Little quantity is enough.
6

Preheat oven to 200 deg Celsius. Place the baking tray into oven and cook for 25-30 mins on 200deg C. Keep a watch to check if they burn. If so remove at an earlier time.
7

Now to make the sauce. In a nonstick pan add butter and let it melt. Fry the onions until it browns. Add the flour and let it cook for 2 mins.
8

Now add the milk and the salt, pepper, mixed herbs and garlic powder. Mix well. Sauce thickens immediately. Remove from stove.
9

Once wedges and baked remove from baking tray. Transfer to a plate. Sprinkle peri peri masala over each wedge. Serve hot with garlic bechamel sauce. Or sauce poured over the wedges.

Serving suggestion: serve the wedges drenched in sauce in shot glasses when serving a large group.
