Crispy Spiced Potato wedges- a delicious all time favorite potato snack
Potato wedges are fast becoming the new french fries. Which in many ways is like bringing the old ways back. As a child, I’ve never had french fries in my village. Potato wedges and potato wafers were the only two options that used to exist back then.
We all will agree that Potato is undoubtedly the most popular and favorite vegetable all over the world. You can boil , steam, fry, saute or just mash it and it turns awesome every time. Kids or adults everyone just loves potatoes. Potato is the only vegetable which goes well with almost every vegetable.
I recall reading a poem in Hindi about aloo’s ability to get along with all vegetables – unfortunately can’t recall the poem now. If you know it – please let me know in the comments 🙂

French fries, potato wedges, batata harra, tater tots, tuk patata, potato wafers, hash browns, aloo sev, aloo bhujiya, aloo papad, honey chilli potatoes, potato rosti etc are several different ways that the humble potato is enjoyed across different parts of the world.
