Baked Potato Wedges

Potatoes are all time favourite of kids. You make them in any form, kids are ready to finish it off. My daughter is no different from any other kids. She loves potatoes in any form. I thought to surprise her with a different dish with potatoes. As it was a baked dish, less oil is required, so i am happy too. 

Her pongal holidays were going on and she was enjoying her day with one of her friend. I thought this was one of the best surprise that i could give them. She knew that i was baking something. But couldn't make out what it was, as she was busy playing with her friend and had no time to peep into the kitchen. (which she usually does). In the evening, when i called them for snacks, she came to the table within seconds with her friend. They were so excited to see the baked potatoes and the home made whole wheat bread. Her friend asked her "Your mother made these things??". Then i heard my daughter proudly saying "Ya......that's my mother. She can make anything, isn't it yummy..." Those words filled my heart and i happily watched them finishing both the dishes within minutes. :)
