Spicy Baked Potato Wedges
Spicy Baked Potato Wedges
Some like it hot, well I like it insanely hot. When I’m clueless about what to cook, I know that I won’t go wrong with spicy. I’ve always love baked potatoes, so I thought why not spice them up with a bit of cayenne pepper? The result is really blissful. I prefer baked potato wedges to deep-fried ones because they are crisp & not oily and most importantly, very easy to make. The only work you need to do is to slice the potatoes, coat them with seasonings, and then you let your oven do its magic. These wedges make both an excellent side-dish or finger food on its own.

Ingredients
(Serves 1)- 200g roasting potatoes
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3/4 tsp cayenne pepper powder (adjust according to your preference)
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 dried bay leaf (optional)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- sea salt and freshly cracked black pepperDirections
1. Scrub potatoes clean, dab dry with paper towel and slice lengthwise to wedges.
2. Coat potato wedges with extra virgin olive oil. Add cayenne powder, dried parsley, bay leaf and garlic powder. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Toss to mix well.
3. Arrange potato wedges one layer in an oven-safe tray and bake at preheated oven of 200°C for about 40 minutes, or until the potato skin is wrinkled.
For this recipe, I’m using dried parsley, cayenne and bay leaf from Honest Vanilla. They are 100% organic, aromatic and comes in nifty pretty little magnetic bottles that will stick onto any metallic surface (eg. fridge door). Thanks Min for the herbs sampling!

A good keeper for get-together, isn’t it : )!?
wow these look delish! it is very crispy?
the skin is dry and crisp :)
very easy to do!Let me bookmark it…
Oh my goodness this sounds SO good!!! I am drooling now….must get mom to make this, because I love spicy potato wedges, especially homemade! :D
sounds fun! you might want to ask ur mum to tone down on the cayenne pepper if you don’t want it to be too hot.
Great idea! I also prefer not to deep-fry. Your wedges look delicious!!!
yum! healthy and spicy!! The way I like it too. Dip into sweet chili sauce or more chili sauce, the better!
we can never have enough chilli, can we?
Great simple recipe. Will definitely try it. Thanks.
These wedges looks very delicious. A great side dish to roasts…mmm.
I made something like these recently too! So easy….yes indeed! The oven magic!
I love baked potatoes too but usually do the shortcut ways. I just baked some two days…yours definitely looks better than mine. :)
You’re humble, I prefer anything from your kitchen to eating my own food lol
Oh yummy, this is how I like to eat my potato too.
Yummms… Definite must-try! ;)
Thanks again Min, for the wonderful herbs :)
Great party food. Happy New Year!
Happy 2011!!
Healthy and delicious! The spicier, the better. Will be eating such healthy food from now on!
This is going to be one of the sides tomorrow! Thanks always for the ideas ^_-b
Potato wedges love rekindled.
Gonna make them tonight. I’ve a bag of 3.5kg potatoes sitting around! Healthier than fries for sure ;)
3.5kg! healthier and safer than deep frying too ;)
It looks as good as the deep-fried version, but it’s definitely healthier.
Those potato weggies look awfully good. Nothing like freshly home made cause the frozen ones at the supermarket really taste awful. BTW I love your spice bottles.
With the amount of drizzle we are having these few days, it’s a great idea to work some oven recipes!
Roasted potato wedges are so good, and the spicy coating makes them even better. They look crispy and delicious!
Such a great side dish…love that spicy coating…
What a lovely side dish!
Great looking spuds and thanks for posting this. For some reason, mine always turns out soggy, sticks to the pan and is a total mess. Bummer.
Let’s cook this together some time ;)
btw if it’s soggy, I find that dabbing the potatoes dry after washing helps them to crisp better
Looks wonderful NC!
I’m also a big fan of insanely hot potatoes! If it doesn’t get my crying tears of joy, it ain’t hot enough.
you couldn’t have said it better :)
Roasted potatoes are one of our favorite easy sides. Great idea to add flavor with parsley and spices. Will have to try it soon :).
Hi Wiffy,
Any type of potatoes is fine? Any suggestion on the brand or type of potatoes that I should buy to make the potatoes wedges?
aww sorry for the late reply, I missed it :( russet potatoes cook faster so you can use those.
I’m drooling from your recipes again! My mom loves insanely spicy and I like spicy – this sounds like a great recipe to try.
I always get hungry looking at all these food you made :D But again I dont know whats cayenne pepper powder and where to get them D: hope it isnt bothering you to reply to me always asking where to buy this and where to buy that :D I found the pitas at cold storage and made them, their REALLY GOOD!
I got mine from Honest Vanilla (link in my blog post) when she sent me a sampler pack. But I think they can be found at local supermarkets such as Cold Storage too (those bottled herbs and spices). Hope this helps :)
i love your dish.its 4 am in night and it serves my hunger better than any else.i love you seriously
may i know what kind of potato( the species) to buy and where can i get them?
For this recipe, I usually use russet potatoes, you can get them at the supermarket or farmer’s market. If it’s a recipe for say beef stew where the potatoes have to stew for more than an hour, I use harder potatoes such as new or berastagi potatoes.
Hi Wiffy
Can I know where you get those simple but pretty spices jars? ;)
Hey Shariffa! They were from Honest Vanilla … check out this link http://www.honestvanilla.com/p/custom-order.html :)
Thanks for sharing! :)
hi wiffy, this looks good ;) btw what are roasting potatos ?
for starters, russet potatoes will be good as they are cheap, common, relatively fast cooking and fragrant.
