Hi dassana,
can i put the wedges directly on the aluminium baking sheet? i suppose both aluminium sheet and foil should give same results?
dassana amit says
Ruchi, you can. but the potato wedges can stick on the aluminium sheet.
Sairam says
hi,
the wedges just stuck to the foil paper and i had to pry them off. 🙁
could it be because i substituted rice flour with cornflour? i routinely substitute rice flour with cornflour and it has never been a problem.
dassana amit says
you are right. its due to the corn flour. corn flour does become sticky if there is too much moisture or water in any marination or mixture. as an alternative you can use besan (gram flour) instead of rice flour.
Anita says

gowri says
Dear dassana, kindly suggest me on how to use conventional microwave for the same recipe. Thank you.
dassana amit says
gowri, preheat oven at 180 degrees celsius for 10 minutes in the convection mode. keep the pan in the oven and then bake for 15 to 20 minutes at the same temperature of 180 degrees celsius. in a convection microwave oven, baking is faster, so it will take less time to bake.
