I like potatoes in all forms, but if I had to pick a favorite, this baked version would easily be it by far.
Potatoes have been getting a bad rap in "healthy-eating" circles these days, and rather unfairly so. Potatoes are good for you as long as they're cooked in a healthy manner. For those of you who are interested in learning more, do check this out.
I made some baked fries the other day. I usually season it in one of two ways: either using a lemon pepper blend , or using whatever fresh herbs and spices I have on hand.
This is what I did recently.
Ingredients:
5 medium potatoes, peeled and washed
3 Tbsp olive oil
Garlic powder
Red pepper flakes
Salt
Pepper
A sprig of rosemary, chopped finely
Method:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Slice the potatoes into even wedges and place in a large bowl with all the other ingredients. Toss well to coat the potatoes with the herb-spice mix.
Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet (I line mine with some foil and grease it for easy clean-up later) and bake at 375 degrees F until lightly browned on the bottom and tender, about 35-40 minutes. Serve hot.

wow Lovely wedges..i just love those especially with the mayo....looking yummy...
You're killing me here. Trying to not grab at the monitor while at work!!
I like potatoes to whether be it fried, boiled, mashed etc.
I too love baked potatoes and this looks crunchy delicous.
I made these on Sunday, with the red chilli flakes and some zatar, and had a hard time controlling myself after eating the equivalent of two potatoes! But my temp was much lesser, will try at this temp next time.
We love our potatoes too and its unfair that they have such an undeserved bad reputation. I oven bake mine too and sweet potatoes too.
Your picture looks gorgeous.
Oh i love the baked wedges too... i make the rather spicy version of it - the lemon pepper sounds interesting. Am craving for some now after seeing your pics.
I agree. Potato wedges with spices are fab to eat with cutlets on the side. Looks perfect!:)
WOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow....Very well roasted....Looks yum....
Baked potatoes are looking creamy and crispy with just lil to no herbs you have made it look absolutely perfect...
Hail Potatoes....I love them too and your version is so tempting and healthy.

Everyones pictures look AMAZING its like you all ran out an bought super amazing cameras at the same time!!!! Love potatoes, any kind, especially crispy ones :) I also like the little pictures at the bottom of the post with links. Excellent Idea!

This is all kinds of awesomeness. I make something very similar.
Potatoes are great!

Baked to perfection! Who could resist these?
ooh, look at those tempting wedges. Waiting for me to finish them. Yum!
You have no idea how much I love potato wedges and french fries, but I've been trying to stay away from it lately. Love how nicely browned the edges are, temptations, temptations :)
Nothing beats potatoes, as I discovered recently :D
The pics are lovely!
Thyme is a lovely seasoning for wedges as well.
Oh my goodness- how did you get them so golden brown?! Those are some appetizing pics.
Thanks for stopping by my blog :) About the powdered buttermilk- I can never use up containers of buttermilk, and this powder is simply wonderful for baking and stays forever in the fridge. I found this at Whole Foods.
Prathibha, Arundathi, Rachel and Happy Cook- looks like we have a lot of potato lovers here! I'm yet to meet somebody who doesn't like 'em.:)
Sra- oooh! I've heard so much about zatar from some of the blogs. It's time I got some for myself.:)
Yeah, you can try making it at this temperature, but do keep in mind that oven temperatures and settings vary.
Aparna- I am yet to try baked sweet potatoes. Very rarely do I even put them on my grocery list! :D
Laavanya- I do too.:D Indian spices are the best!!!
Asha- with cutlets? even better! :D
I thought you were going on vacation. But I'm glad you stopped by.:)
Kitchen Flavors- thank you.:D
Ramya- thank you for the compliment.:D
Sakshi- thanks.:D I like this a lot, but I looooooove the greasy, unhealthy ones from Mc D too.:D
Kanchana- welcome back! :D LOL at your comment.
As for the pics at the bottom, you just have to add that little widget. I did not do anything else since my knowledge (of all things HTML) is non-existent!
Srikar's kitchen, inadobo, Vrinda, Lisa & Uma- thank you! :D
Sig- I know... these are not exactly SBD friendly. You know, after your inspirational posts, I have started to do a low-carb( mainly avoiding rice, and white rice at that) diet. I even got the SBD cookbook from the library recently. How are you doing? Maintaining well?
A & N- and I concur.;-D ... and thank you.:)
Suzer- I should try that too. I've only tried rosemary and potatoes since it's such a classic combo.:)
Nupur- thank you.:D
Thanks for the info, unfortunately no Whole Foods here.:( Midweek, I usually tend to run out of buttermilk! So these days, I've started buying 2 containers at once. I use it in a lot of SI curries/gravies.
Have a fun vacation! :)
