These herby garlic butter potato wedges are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and loaded with flavour. A perfect side dish for any meal!
The original recipe also appeared in the '£20 family feast' spread in the August 2022 Sainsbury's magazine, as a side to the chicken and corn tacos.
Well, I love any kind of potato side...especially chips or potato wedges, so it was a no-brainer to also make this recipe while making the tacos!! Prep time is minimal and the oven does the hard work...they're cooked in 30 minutes, having been turned over once, halfway through.
The end result is absolutely delicious...big chunky wedges that are golden and crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and have a yummy garlicky herby coating. Enjoy these as a side to anything you fancy...or just enjoy them on their own with sauces of your choice!!!
Tips
- If using dried parsley, add it during step 1 along with the other herbs, then no need to garnish with fresh parsley at the end.
- Flavour variations:
- Cheesy - add grated parmesan or cheddar 5 minutes before they're done.
- Spicy - add chilli flakes, cayenne or Cajun seasoning to the garlic butter.
- Lemon and herb - add lemon zest and juice to the garlic butter.
- This herby garlic butter potato wedges recipe can easily be adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
