Instructions:
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt.
- Leave the skin on and cut each potato into wedges. Aim for uniform size to ensure even cooking.
- Place the potato wedges into a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ensuring all the wedges are evenly coated.
- Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on a baking tray.
- Leave some space between the wedges to ensure they become crispy.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-45 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Turn the wedges halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- While the wedges are baking, zest the lime into a small bowl.
- Juice the lime and set the juice aside.
- Finely chop the red hot chili peppers. For a milder flavor, you can remove the seeds before chopping.
- In the bowl with the lime zest, add 1 teaspoon of salt and the finely chopped chili peppers.
- Mix well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
- Once the potato wedges are crispy and golden, remove them from the oven.
- Place the hot wedges into a large serving bowl.
- Immediately sprinkle with the chili and lime salt mixture. Toss well to coat each wedge with the seasoning.
- Serve the wedges hot with the reserved lime juice drizzled on top or on the side for an extra zesty kick.
- You can also serve with your favorite dipping sauce for added flavor.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes.: Opt for starchy potatoes like Russets for the crispiest wedges. Their high starch content and low moisture help them crisp up better in the oven.
- Cut evenly.: Ensure that you cut your potato wedges to similar sizes for even cooking. This will help you achieve a consistent crunch.
- Preheat the oven.: Preheating your oven to the right temperature ensures your wedges start cooking as soon as they go in. This helps them become crispy without becoming soggy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan.: Lay the potato wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet. Overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking and soggy potatoes.
- Toss halfway through.: Flip the wedges halfway through the cooking time to ensure they crisp up on all sides.
- Use fresh lime and chili peppers.: For the best flavor, use fresh lime juice and freshly chopped chili peppers. This gives the wedges a bright, tangy, and spicy kick.
There you have it—perfectly crispy and flavorful Crunchy Potato Wedges with Chilli and Lime Salt. Follow these tips to ensure your wedges turn out just right every time. They make a great snack, appetizer, or side dish that everyone will love. Enjoy your culinary creation!
