Have you had wedges? They're a rare treat in America. I first fell in love with them in New Zealand where you can pick them up with some cream and tomato sauce almost anywhere! Leona's in Chicago serves a wonderful version in Chicago with their burgers. I've attempted several times to recreate them but have always ended up with under cooked potatoes that were stuck to a baking sheet... Well living in the UK has allowed me to perfect them! It seems just about anyone can whip up a batch no problem.
Here's how to do it.
-Preheat oven to gas mark 6 (200c/ 390f)
-Cut up your potatoes. I used one large new potato for myself, but you can adjust this to your crowd. I have yet to perfect the wedge slicing, but that doesn't really matter too much.
-Bring salted water to a boil and add the potato wedges, boil for five minutes.
-While you're boiling the water, melt one tablespoons of butter.
-Pour this butter into a bowl large enough to accommodate your potatoes. Add 1/2 tablespoon of curry powder. Mix well.
-Strain your potatoes and add to bowl with butter and curry powder (they should be slightly tender but not crumbling apart).
-Mix it up so all potatoes are coated.
-Pour onto baking sheet and pop in the oven for 20 minutes. If you feel inclined you can flip them, I never do and they turn out fine.
*For more potatoes use more butter and more curry powder. My amounts were probably too much for my one potato, but I'm not one to turn down butter or curry.
