Spicy Potato wedges are the all-rounder recipe which can use as individual dish or as side dish or best party appetizer. Different types of potato wedges either fried or baked have their own version country by country.
This potato wedges recipe has nothing to do with my fusion recipe collection. I am not trying to make any Non-Indian Recipe with Indian touch. This is pure and divine recipe, because it’s from my husband’s childhood favorites…
He lived in very small town during his childhood, and in that town, there was one food truck which served only two breakfast recipes, and spicy potato wedges is among them. They called them potato chips!
He is still running the same food truck with same recipes. It’s been more than 30 years, and my husband is still visiting those chips though that town is 300 km away from our living city. He is real foodie!!!
I was first introduced by it after our marriage. It was first weekend after our marriage, and he said let’s have long ride to see my hometown. I said I am not big fan of potato, but he said, this is my favorite snack, and when I tasted I also feel why he has special connection with it!
These potato wedges are not too crispy, not too modern, I am not trying to make make like restaurant type. But this potato wedges is special recipe that make me potato fan!!!
No doubt, it has Indian touch because I am using some typical Indian spices, but trust me this recipe will make you potato fan just like me!!!
I wanna recreate taste of that food truck, so I have asked for that masala paste used by that food truck chef, but he wanted to keep it secret. So, I trust my taste buds, and this homemade spicy potato wedge recipe is invented. My foodie hubby approved also!
