Method
- 1
Heat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan) and put a large baking tray inside to heat up.
- 2
Cut the potatoes into thick wedges, leaving the skin on. Boil in salted water for 5 minutes, then drain and leave in the colander for 2 minutes to steam dry.
7 min - 3
Toss the potatoes in a large bowl with the oil and taco seasoning mix, shaking well so the edges roughen slightly and get coated.
- 4
Tip onto the hot tray in one layer. Roast for 35 minutes, turning once, until deep golden and crisp.
35 min - 5
Sprinkle the wedges with lime zest, spring onions and coriander. Serve with your ready made lime crema (see the base recipe) for dipping and lime wedges to squeeze over.
Tips
- Parboiling and roughing up the edges gives a crisp, craggy crust.
- A hot tray makes the potatoes sizzle on contact and stops them sticking.
- Do not crowd the tray. Use two if needed, or the wedges will steam.
- Serve with salsa roja or guacamole for a bigger snack spread.
Storing and freezing
Best eaten fresh. Cool leftover wedges within 1 to 2 hours and keep in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a hot oven until steaming hot all the way through and crisp again.
Questions
Can I use an air fryer?
Yes. Parboil as above, toss with oil and seasoning, then air fry at 200C for 18 to 20 minutes, shaking halfway, until crisp and golden.
Are these wedges gluten free?
Yes. Potatoes, olive oil and pure spice mixes contain no gluten. The lime crema is made with soured cream or yoghurt, so it is dairy based.
How can I make them dairy free?
Serve with guacamole or a dairy free lime crema made from coconut yoghurt and lime instead of the dairy crema.
