Here’s how to make these irresistible potato wedges!
Ingredients
- ½ kg (1 lb) baby potatoes
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1-2 tsp chipotle paste (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp water
- Salt, to taste
- Chopped chives, for garnish (optional)
Directions
Step 1: Boil the Potatoes
In a medium saucepan, boil the unpeeled baby potatoes in salted water for about 10 minutes, or until they are tender but still firm. Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly before handling.
Step 2: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). This ensures your potatoes roast to golden perfection.
Step 3: Prepare the Chipotle Mayo
In a large bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, chipotle paste, and 1 tablespoon of water. Stir until the ingredients are well combined, forming a smooth, spicy mayo.
Step 4: Coat the Potatoes
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into quarters to form wedges. Add the potato wedges to the bowl with the chipotle mayo. Gently toss the potatoes until they are evenly coated with the sauce.
Step 5: Roast the Potatoes
Arrange the coated potato wedges on a roasting pan in a single layer, making sure there’s space between each wedge for even cooking. Roast in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes start to turn golden and crisp around the edges.
Step 6: Broil for Extra Crispiness
For an added crunch, switch your oven to the broil or grill setting and roast the potatoes for an additional 1-2 minutes. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Step 7: Finish and Serve
Remove the potato wedges from the oven and sprinkle them with a little flaky salt. If desired, garnish with chopped chives for a pop of color and fresh flavor. Serve the wedges immediately while they’re still hot and crispy.
Enjoy these spicy and flavorful potato wedges as a side dish or snack!
