Potatoes are a beloved staple in many households, and for good reason. They are not only incredibly versatile but also packed with essential nutrients. Rich in potassium, vitamin C, and dietary fiber, potatoes provide a hearty and satisfying base for countless recipes. When baked to perfection, as in this recipe, they become crispy on the outside while remaining tender on the inside—a combination that’s simply irresistible. Pairing these wedges with a fresh avocado sauce not only elevates the dish but also adds a dose of healthy fats and antioxidants, making this a snack that’s as nourishing as it is delicious.

Let’s dive into how you can make these crispy potato wedges at home!

Ingredients

For Potato Wedges:

• 850 g potatoes, flesh and skin
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. paprika
• ½ tsp. dried onion
• ½ tsp. dried garlic

For Avocado Sauce:

• 2 medium-sized avocados (200 g avocado flesh)

• 1 garlic clove
• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 2 tbsp. lemon juice
• ½ tsp. salt and black pepper to taste
• ½ tsp. dried onion
• ½ tsp. dried garlic
