Healthy Crispy Potato Wedges
These healthy oven-baked crispy potato wedges are sure to satisfy your French fry cravings any day of the week! They are as addictive as they are easy to make, needing only a few simple, healthy pantry staples.
Ingredients
- 1 lb fingerling potatoes or baby new potatoes
- 2 tbsp white vinegar
- 2 tsp avocado oil or avocado spray
- 1 1/2 tsp pink salt divided, plus more if needed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375℉. If your oven has a convection baking setting, use it. Add a large baking sheet, or two medium ones, to the cold oven to heat up while it comes to temperature. Meanwhile, cut the fingerling potatoes into small, equally sized wedges.
- Place the potatoes in a medium-sized pot. Add cold water until the potatoes are fully covered, and bring it to a boil.
- Once boiling, add the vinegar and 1 tsp of salt to the water and give everything a quick stir. Boil the potatoes until they are fork-tender but not falling apart, about 5 to 7 minutes, depending on the size and thickness of the wedges.
- Drain the water from the potatoes and add them back to the pot, with the avocado oil and 1/2 tsp of salt. With a rubber spatula, gently stir to coat the cooked potatoes, being mindful not to break them apart.
- Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and transfer the seasoned potatoes to it. Using kitchen tongs, space out the potato wedges so they don't overlap to help them roast evenly and get extra crispy. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown, flipping them halfway through if not using a convection oven. Taste and add more salt if desired.
- Serve immediately with your favourite dipping sauce. Allow any leftovers to cool completely before storing. They will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days. See notes for reheating instructions.
Notes
- Leftover fries taste great on their own or on salads. To reheat and crisp back up, add them to a baking sheet and bake at 350℉ for 5 minutes.
- This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled.
- The potatoes can be cut and stored in cold water for up to 12 hours in advance.
