2. Prepare the Potatoes:
   While the oven is preheating, wash, peel, and cut the potatoes into wedges that are approximately 1/2 inch thick. It’s important to keep the thickness consistent so that the wedges cook evenly.

3. Season the Wedges:
   Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl. Add the extra virgin olive oil, ginger-garlic paste, red chili flakes, Italian seasoning, dried thyme leaves, and a pinch of salt. Toss everything together using your hands to ensure that the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning mix.

4. Prepare the Baking Tray:
   Line a baking tray with aluminum foil or a baking sheet for easy cleanup. Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the tray. Be sure to space them out, allowing each wedge to have room for heat circulation and even cooking.

5. Add Water:
   Sprinkle about a tablespoon of water onto the baking tray. This will help steam the potatoes and ensure they stay moist while baking, giving them a soft interior and crispy exterior.

6. Bake the Potatoes (First Round):
   Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, carefully remove the tray from the oven.

7. Flip the Wedges:
   Using tongs or a spatula, carefully flip each potato wedge to the other side to ensure even cooking on both sides. Return the tray to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the wedges are golden brown and crispy.

8. Serve:
   Once baked, remove the potato wedges from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Serve these crispy, spiced wedges with dips like yogurt dip, cottage cheese dip, or classic tomato sauce.

Tips for Perfect Baked Potato Wedges

• Uniform Size: Cutting the wedges to a uniform thickness ensures that they cook evenly. If some wedges are thicker than others, they may not cook at the same rate.
• Crispier Wedges: For extra crispy potato wedges, you can increase the cooking time by an additional 5 minutes, but keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
• Dip Options: These potato wedges are delicious on their own, but they taste even better when paired with a creamy dip. Try a tangy yogurt dip, garlic butter, or a spicy ketchup.

These Garlic & Ginger Spiced Potato Wedges are the perfect snack or side dish for any occasion. The combination of garlic, ginger, and Italian herbs adds a delicious layer of flavor that complements the natural taste of the potatoes. Plus, they are baked, not fried, making them a healthier option for those looking to indulge guilt-free. Whether you’re serving them as a snack for a gathering or as a side to your favorite main dish, these potato wedges are sure to impress your guests and satisfy your cravings.

Enjoy!
