Better Than Fries! Crispy, Delicious, and Very Easy
Ingredients
To make this delightful dish, you’ll need the following:
Potatoes: 4 medium-sized
Eggs: 2 large
Salt: 1 teaspoon
Pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
Paprika: 1/2 teaspoon (optional, for extra flavor)
Garlic Powder: 1/2 teaspoon (optional)
Preparation Steps
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Potatoes:
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Keeping the skin on adds extra texture and nutrients.
Cut the potatoes into wedges, ensuring they are all roughly the same size for even cooking.
3. Prepare the Egg Coating:
In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until well combined.
Add the salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to the eggs and mix well.
4. Coat the Potatoes:
Add the potato wedges to the bowl with the egg mixture. Toss until they are evenly coated with the egg and seasoning mixture.
5. Bake:
Arrange the coated potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not touching each other to help them crisp up nicely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even baking. They are done when golden brown and crispy.
6. Serve:
Remove the potato wedges from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
