Are you planning a Sunday roast with your family or inviting your friends over for a braai in the beautiful South African summer sun?

Baked garlic potato wedges tips

The hero of this recipe is the garlic and if you don’t have time for the potatoes to chill for a while, use garlic powder which won’t burn in the oven. The extra herbs and paprika add elements of flavour that will bring joy to your taste buds. You can also give the potatoes a par-boil before baking. If you’re serving it as a snack, make a dipping sauce with mayonnaise, your favourite mustard and add some more garlic to the situation. They’re great with a roast dinner or braai.
