Cooking Instructions

40 mins
  1. 1

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

  2. 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. 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. 4

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

  5. 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. 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. 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. 8

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

  9. 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.

  10. 10

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