Recipe Summary

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 40–45 minutes

  • Calories: Approximately 270 per serving

Ingredients

  • 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
  • 30 grams (2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried coriander
  • 3–4 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Wash the potatoes thoroughly, scrubbing off any dirt, and cut them into wedges or your preferred shape.
  3. In a small pan, melt the butter over low-medium heat. Add the minced garlic, chili flakes, turmeric, dried coriander, and a pinch of salt. Cook for about one minute until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat.
  4. Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on a baking tray. Drizzle evenly with olive oil and sprinkle salt to taste.
  5. Pour the warm garlic butter mixture over the potatoes, using a spoon to ensure all wedges get coated evenly.
  6. Place fresh rosemary sprigs on top of the potatoes.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through if desired, until the edges are golden and crispy, and the centers are tender.
  8. Serve immediately while hot for the best texture and flavor.

Recipe Notes

  • To boost crispiness, pre-soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking to remove excess starch.
  • Use room temperature butter to melt evenly with garlic and spices, preventing burning.
  • Spread potatoes in a single layer without crowding to ensure even roasting.
  • If you prefer more aromatic flavor, add fresh rosemary leaves chopped instead of whole sprigs.
