firstly, wash the potatoes thoroughly and parboil in a medium pot. do not over boil as you want your potato wedges to retain their shape and not crumble.

once done cool and peel the potatoes. chop into even-sized wedges.

consequently, take a bowl, add the potatoes and season with salt, pepper, mixed herbs.

crush the garlic and add to the potatoes and toss to smear the wedges with the seasoning

i minced the garlic in my hand mortar and pestle and it took just 30 seconds to get a nice creamy paste.

meanwhile, preheat the grill to medium-high heat for about 10 minutes. place the potatoes on the grill rack and roast for about 10 minutes each side.

finally, remove from oven and sprinkle some red chilli powder for that final spicy kick. this is to satisfy my strong spicy south indian palate!

grilled garlicky potato wedges are ready to be served. serve with salad and a heavenly mint-yoghurt dip.believe me it enhances the taste a 100 fold!
