Ingredients
- 550-600 g Floury Potatoes 3 x 9-10cm or 3½-4"
- 2 tablespoon Cooking Oil or Melted Hard Fat
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- Seasonings of your choice
Instructions
- Cut your potatoes into wedges, ensuring that the skin side of the wedge is 2-2.5cm (¾-1") in size.
- Place the potatoes in a bowl and add the salt, oil (do not add the oil if you are baking in the oven), and any seed or dried herb-based seasoning and toss to coat well. If you are using ground spice-based seasonings, add them for the last minute of cooking.
Air Fryer Cooking Instructions:
- Place the wedges in the air fryer basket.
- Cook at 180°C, 350°F for 16 minutes, shaking halfway through.
- Turn the heat up to 200°C, 400°F and cook for a final 5-10 minutes.
- Add any powdered spice seasoning for the last 60 seconds.
Oven Cooking Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C, 390°F, and whilst it is heating up, place a baking tray with the oil or hard fat in it.
- When the oven is hot, add the seasoned potatoes, toss them in the hot oil and bake for 45-50 minutes, giving them a "shake" halfway through.
- Add any powdered spice seasoning for the last 60 seconds.
Notes
If you use larger potatoes you will need to either cut them smaller or cook them longer.
