Pizza Seasoning Baked Potato Wedges
These baked potato wedges are everything you want from a snack — crisp edges, fluffy centres, and that unmistakable dried basil and oregano aroma that fills the kitchen as they roast. Toss the wedges in oil and Kitchen Koundinyasa's Herby Spice Blend before they go into the oven, and the blend does all the work: no extra sauce, no dipping needed. Think Domino's-style seasoned wedges, made entirely at home.
Prep: 10 min | Cook: 35 min | Serves: 2 | Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
- 2 tsp Kitchen Koundinyasa Herby Spice Blend
- 3 medium potatoes, washed and cut into wedges
- 2 tsp oil (any neutral oil)
- to taste salt
- 1 tsp coriander leaves, finely chopped (for garnish, optional)
Method
- Preheat your oven to 220°C. If you have a wire rack, place it on your baking tray — this helps the wedges crisp on all sides without turning soggy at the base.
- Cut each potato lengthwise into 6 to 8 wedges, keeping the skin on. Pat them completely dry with a kitchen towel — any moisture will steam the wedges instead of crisping them.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the wedges with the oil until every piece is lightly coated. Add the Herby Spice Blend and salt, then toss again so the dried basil, oregano, and pepper cling evenly to the surface of each wedge.
- Spread the wedges in a single layer on the tray, cut side down. Do not crowd them — give each wedge space so the hot air can circulate.
- Roast at 220°C for 30 to 35 minutes. At the 20-minute mark, flip each wedge. They are ready when the edges are golden brown and the skin has crisped up — you should be able to hear a faint crunch when you tap one.
- Transfer to a serving plate and scatter chopped coriander leaves on top if using. Serve immediately — wedges lose their crunch quickly, so eat them straight from the oven.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much Herby Spice Blend should I use for potato wedges?
Two teaspoons of Herby Spice Blend coats about 3 medium potatoes generously. If you like a stronger herb flavour, go up to 3 teaspoons — the blend holds well without overpowering.
What dip goes best with these Herby Spice Blend wedges?
They are flavourful enough to eat on their own, but a simple hung curd dip with a pinch of salt works beautifully alongside. You can also sprinkle a little extra Herby Spice Blend over the dip for colour.
How long does Herby Spice Blend stay fresh after opening?
Herby Spice Blend stays fresh for up to 12 months from the date of manufacture when stored in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly closed. Avoid storing near the stove where heat and steam can affect the herbs.
Can I make these wedges in an air fryer instead of the oven?
Yes — toss the wedges with Herby Spice Blend and oil as usual, then air fry at 190°C for 18 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. They come out just as crispy, sometimes crispier.
