Baked Potato Wedges

I am a big fan of healthier version of traditional recipes. These baked potato wedges are one such dish. Just by replacing the deep frying step with baking makes it infinitely healthier. And the best part is that they taste just as good. Trust me, give me them a try and you will be a fan forever:

INGREDIENTS:
5-6 medium/large golden potatoes
coconut oil to sprinkle
salt to taste
few pinches of red chilli powder/paprika (optional)

PROCESS:
  1. Preheat the oven to 400F 
  2. Bring a large pot of water to boil and add a teaspoon of salt to it
  3. Wash and cut the potatoes into wedges (keep the skin on)
  4. Cook potatoes in the boiling salted water for 7 minutes.  Remove form the stove and drain. Its v.imp not to let them cook for any longer as they would get overcooked and not become crispy. 
  5. Put the wedges in a mixing bowl and add the oil, salt and chili powder if using and mix well.
  6. Spread the wedges on a baking sheet and roast for about 17 mins - take them out and turn the wedges over and out them back in the oven for another 17 mins.
  7. Take them out when they turn crisp to your liking - squeeze lime juice over them or serve them any kind of sauce, with burgers or just enjoy them as it is.
