This week I will be showing you three savoury baked recipes. It has been a long time since I baked anything. I used to be someone who baked every day and in these two years my life took a 180 degree turn and now I don’t bake at all. Occasionally I switch on my ove to roast almonds for snacking, and that is it. Those who know me are quite surprised to hear that I don’t bake any more. Even Sruti was asking me to bake a nice cake as she has been missing them a lot. I have promised her that I would bake a nice cake for her, but still I haven’t done it. When Sowmya announced the savoury bakes theme for this month’s Kid’s Delight, I was really delighted as I could bake something. But still I chose some simpler recipes than the butter loaded ones. But wait for next month. I have a delicious theme coming up and I promise I will give you a real virtual treat.
The first dish I made are these potato wedges. My daughter is a crazy fan of potatoes and if I ask her to choose a vegetable every day, she would choose potatoes for the whole week. That is why I decided to make the potato wedges for the first day. These are quite easy to make and I have used a tsp of ghee for the whole batch. But if you don’t mind using ghee, then go for more than a tsp for some richness. Pre-boiling the potatoes gives them a nice softness even after baking. I have also baked potatoes without boiling them, but I find them a little drier when compared to this version. These would make a delicious snack when serve with some ketchup at the side, but you can also serve it as a side dish with rice. However you serve it, it would be delicious. The sesame adds some nutty taste to the wedges.
Ingredients:
Potatoes – 200 gm

Kasuri Methi – 1 tsp

Red Chilly powder – 1/4 tsp

Mix well.
Arrange the wedges on a baking tray and bake the wedges until golden, it may take 20 – 25 minutes.
Serve them hot with some sauce at the side.

Potatoes are my favourite as well . I too can choose to eat them everyday , specially if I get such awesome wedges . They look awesome with those spices , using ghee must have made them more delicious .
Wow.. they look so crispy and tempting. Potatoes are favorite to everyone in home too.
The potatoes look delicious, it’s good that it’s an easy recipe to make as well. Ghee would give a great flavor to these.I should remember that!
