Baked Italian Potato Wedges

So here's my first of the many Tiffin treats, baked new potato wedges recipe for 'T'.

So here's my first of the many Tiffin treats, Baked Italian Potato Wedges, which I am going to prepare for Nabeel. I plan to replace the French fries with this healthy and much tastier option. The Potato Wedges are made using minimal ingredients and are ready in a jiffy. You can play with the flavours depending on your child's taste buds. Try flavours like dried garlic flakes, pepper, mixed herbs, a local spice mix, etc. These wedges also work well as an after school treat and a vegetarian starter when paired with a rich flavourful dip.
