Garlic Potato Wedges

Hello, hello!

Long before being educated on my food groups, daily intakes, serving sizes, and taking up my interest in healthy wholesome foods...I was an innocent and oblivious pig-tailed little girl. If you asked my 6 or 7 year old self what her favourite food was, she would have answered "potatoes!"

Remember those SMILEY FACE potatoes? Those were the days...

Anyways! Back to the recipe! These are exceptionally good fries- crispy, garlicky, and you can bake them at home! Potato fries/wedges are so much better baked! I mean, have you SEEN those deep fryers at McDonald's!? *shudder*

I found this recipe on Purple Foodie.

Garlic Potato Wedges serves 2

• 2 large potatoes
• 8 small garlic cloves, freshly crushed
• 6 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• ½ tsp paprika
• ½ tsp garlic powder

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Microwave the olive oil until just warm and add the garlic pieces. This infuses the garlic flavor with the oil.

Boil the potatoes in a pot for 10 minutes or just tender enough to be able to put a knife through. Make sure not to over-cook it. Run it under ice cold water and let it cool on a plate.

Cut the potatoes into wedges. First in half, half again, and then into three wedges (hope you got that ;) lol!) It makes 12 wedges per potato. Transfer wedges into a large bowl.

Pour in the olive oil mixture and add all other ingredients to the bowl. Make sure to rub the wedges with the oil and cornstarch so every wedge is covered evenly. Lay the wedges on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, make sure they don't overlap! Bake for 30-40 minutes until golden and crispy. You may need to rotate the pan halfway through for even baking.
