Crisp on the outside, lightly spiced for dipping
these fluffy oven-baked potato wedges are simple and easy to make.

Vegan Fluffy Oven-Baked Potato Wedges | The Viet Vegan

The support and kind messages from friends and readers have been overwhelming. I’m quickly learning that people are actually reading my blog, and you know what? That’s kind of cool. Thank you for reading. Sometimes I wonder if I sound like a self-absorbed girl, writing about her feelings and her problems. But as I mentioned in my last post, this blog is a way for me to figure out who I am and how I feel. It’s kind of cool that people think I’m at all interesting enough to read along.
Vegan Fluffy Oven-Baked Potato Wedges

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately, about how I feel about everything. I’m not sad anymore. I don’t feel empty, I don’t feel broken—honestly? I feel fine. I’m optimistic and invigorated for tomorrow. I hop out of bed, excited to try new things in the kitchen and tick off my checklist of projects for work.

I’m rediscovering all the things that are making me happy. Small things like wiping down my counters after doing the dishes. Basking in the light of the rising sun in the morning. Finally finishing books I had been meaning to read for ages. Even my enthusiasm and motivation for developing and shooting photos to share here have been reinvigorated. I’m relearning how to style and how to play with light in this new place, and I’m loving my results so far. I hope you like them too.

But mainly, I’m learning a lot about what makes me happy: My friends, meeting new people, reading, making delicious food, laughing at silly puns—even talking about insignificant topics like how to optimize how to dip oversized Ruffles chips in a jar of dip. Sounds unimportant, but hey. We all love a good dip, right?

I’m working towards a happier and healthier self, and I haven’t felt this good in a long time.

Don’t worry about me, folks. I’m doing just fine =)

Vegan Fluffy Oven-Baked Potato Wedges | The Viet Vegan

My cousin has been staying with me for the past three weeks, and she being the opposite of me (meaning she loves Western-style food while I prefer Vietnamese food), I’ve been making a lot of traditionally Canadian/American foods like baked potatoes, caesar salad (recipe coming soon!), grilled cheese sandwiches… Not great for my waist, but with my butt goals and arm goals (if you’ve been following along on my facebook page, this sounds less weird), I’ve been doing all these workouts that have already yielded positive results.

These oven-baked potato wedges are crisp and fluffy without the need for deep fryers. Control the amount of salt, the seasoning, and snack happily knowing that potatoes, despite their bad reputation, are actually really good for you. It all comes down to how you’re preparing them. Deep fried wedges will have an irresistible crunch, but you have to deal with all that extra oil and fat that makes them so crunchy on the outside.

Try making these fluffy baked potato wedges as a great side dish for a dinner party, or on the side of some of your favourite proteins, or just on its own as a snack. I’d be lying if I said I haven’t already done this.

As always, thanks for reading!

Vegan Fluffy Oven-Baked Potato Wedges

Vegan Fluffy Oven-Baked Potato Wedges | The Viet Vegan

Don't bother buying potato wedges from the freezer section, you can make your own super fluffy oven-baked potato wedges at home!

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 medium sized yellow potatoes (I used Yukon Gold)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425ºF/220ºC.
  2. Scrub and wash potatoes well. Pat dry. Cut into wedges (each potato was cut into 8-10 wedges) and toss with 2 tbsp olive oil to coat (reserve 1 tbsp for the pan).
  3. In a small bowl, stir flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
  4. Sprinkle over oiled potato wedges and toss to coat.
  5. Prepare a baking sheet with the remaining 1 tbsp oil. Arrange potato wedges to stand up on the potato skin side. If some fall over, no big deal!
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes until edges are crisp and golden, and the sides are golden.
  7. Remove from heat and serve. Feel free to sprinkle a little extra salt here, or serve with my favourite: ketchup and sriracha sauce.

    Uhm… these wedges are INCREDIBLE! As a small town Canadian of irish/scottish descent, I’ve made and eaten a lot of potatoes in my life (and I mean a LOT), and these are the tops my friend!

    Hi Lisa! These wedges look scrumptious. Don’t give up on the blog! I’ve been having the same feelings recently, and I know it can be hard to sometimes get the motivation to keep going. Your pictures are stunning and the food sounds delicious. Can’t wait to give them try :)

    Hey Lisa! I just read back through all of the posts you link to, and I want to acknowledge how hard it must have been for you for talk about this experience. Every relationship is different, but the pain of severing such a long-lasting bond is unmistakable. When my last long-term relationship ended, I felt so lost – it’s crazy how one person can become such a ubiquitous presence in your life. But like you, I found that period of time to be an amazing opportunity to learn about myself, and what makes ME happy, without the influence of anyone else. And I think there’s beauty in that sort of self-discovery. It’s awesome that you’ve been using this time to refocus on the things you love! And I just wanted to add that as a fairly new follower of yours, I really appreciate the heart you put into your posts. I like following certain blogs for the recipes, but the ones who stick out are the ones with soul. :)

      Thanks for reading Sarah, it means a lot to me when people read past the one post they stumble upon. I’m glad you figured out yourself and what makes you happy. Break-ups are never easy, no matter how long or short the relationship. Thanks for following along, and thanks for taking the time to comment!

    Any suggestions for a vegan dip? I’ll use plain Greek yogurt, but for vegans? Thanks!

      I’ve used chipotle mayo (made with vegannaise), or vegan sour cream, ketchup and sriracha…lots of different choices! =)

    These were AWESOME! I put a wee bit of Italian spice mix on mine, and they looked and tasted like they came from a nice restaurant. I still feel like I owe someone $7 and a tip. Looking forward to blowing someone’s mind with these!

    These were really delicious and turned out perfectly – I’ve tried this in the past with sea salt and pepper, but adding some flour and paprika for color was a great idea!

My latest YouTube video with my recipe for EZ PZ sourdough bread is live. No need to wait for a levain, no autolyze, and no super wet, sticky dough or gummy bread!
🍞
I've been thoroughly enjoying all this bread and how consistently delicious it has been! Please go give it a watch to hear me wax and wane about bread, or check out the blog post for a video with no talking, only bread 😂

Henlo it's been a very busy week on my end but I've been working hard to try to get back up to 2x a week uploads again. So last week I posted two bookish videos and today I posted my sourdough discard chocolate chip cookies!
🍪
Crisp edges, chewy centre, crunchy flakes of @maldonsalt on top...MMM. A perfect way to use up some sourdough discard!

Video is up on the channel, and recipe is on the blog🥰https://bit.ly/2LilQk3#thevietvegan #thevietveganrecipes #whatveganseat #sourdoughdiscard #sourdough #🍪

[AD] Tis the season for finger food and delicious bites! So many vegan charcuteries tend to be nut-heavy, but for those who are allergic to many things like me, you might enjoy this pizza snack board I created for @whollyveggie with some marinated mushrooms (recipe on the blog), fresh veggies, and olives, and vegan salami to snack on, with pizza sauce to dunk in!
🍕
I used the Classic Cheese, Margherita pizzas, and Naked Cauliflower Crust that are frozen and delicious for a snack board. I honestly kind of forgot that they were gluten-free because I love a nice, crisp thin crust and this was tender enough to yield a nice, chewy bite while being golden and crisp!
🍕
Find the recipe on my blog, deets on your closest Wholly Veggy retailer on their website, and please tag me and @whollyveggie in your homemade pizza snack boards! I'd love to see how you customize yours :)

Feeling like I got my mojo back! Also coincidentally my cycle ended, so maybe that had something to do with this week of super low energy and negativity 😂❣️😭Today I cleaned out the fridge, treated myself to a schnickers square from @covenhamilton and made some Instant Pot phở because Eddie's been missing @saigonlotustoronto and we haven't been able to go all year (for obvious reasons).You can find the recipe on the blog. I'll put a swipe up link since the link in bio sometimes take a second to populate, or you can use the search bar at the top of my blog! Hope you are all having a relaxing weekend ☺️Instant Pot Phở: http://bit.ly/2DdKATA#thevietvegan #thevietveganrecipes #whatveganseat #veganfoodshare #veganpho #vietvegan #vietnamesefood

A lot of you are celebrating Thanksgiving today, and while this Instant Pot red curry lentil and potato stew is not a Thanksgiving recipe, I wish you all the best this weekend and kindly remind you that Thanksgiving has a lot of colonial, traumatic and genocidal origins of Indigenous peoples across North America.
🍂
Eddie loves Thanksgiving food (I mostly like stuffing/dressing and mashed potatoes haha) so I understand that nostalgia and love for Thanksgiving fare, but I hope you also take this time to continue your education in Indigenous history, culture and how the exploitation and trauma still affects Indigenous cultures and peoples today.
🍂
I always worry I'm being like a bummer to remind you of this year after year, but I'm on my own journey of education and unlearning the history we were erroneously taught and all the convenient gaps that didn't tell the whole story. We are all unlearning together.
🍂
And while it is important to learn about the heavy history, I also implore you to appreciate and support Indigenous art and cultures. I recently finished reading Son of a Trickster by Eden Robinson and I have many more books by Indigenous authors on my to-read list!
🍂
Enjoy the time with your loved ones (hopefully very safely, and hopefully you've quarantined before seeing each other). It can be hard to deny our families who have varying levels of concern, but know that the precautions you take now show the people you love and the communities we're in how much you care. Virtual celebrations aren't quite the same but are a nice stand-in for being alone.
🍂
Also fyi this is an Instant Pot red curry lentil and potato stew I shared last week. On YouTube and the blog! https://bit.ly/3nCsQWm

I feel like it's no suprise to anyone that my favourite colour is green and that this green ramen is an herbaceous, vibrant way to eat your greens!
💚
PLUS I use peas in the sauce to add some lean, green protein so you don't feel hungry again in 20 minutes like you would if you just ate a pack of instant noodles 😂
💚
Recipe is linked in the bio, although it might take a sec to repopulate but it's also in my Asian recipe highlight (although it's not really Asian... it's just green saucy noods but my regular recipe highlight is getting too long 😅)

Inari pockets with vegan crab salad from my last hiking vlog 🍱🌳🍂 some of y'all might remember that this package of tofu pockets was similar to the package I have bought before and I realized too late that they had clam and oyster extract in the seasoning.
🍁
Because I was going on a hike with a few omnis, I figured it was worth just using it anyway to feed them so it didn't go to waste, and that way Eddie and I didn't have to eat it all on our own. This dilemma can be controversial, and I've had people (well, one persistent person) hate on me for drinking a can of Arizona Iced Tea after I bought it and realized too late that it had honey in it.
🍁
Y'all, being vegan is point blank a privilege. Choosing what to eat, being informed enough to want to choose vegan, having access to fruits and vegetables that don't cost $$$$, having time to cook, having the time to LEARN how to cook, it is all overlapping privileges that enable any of us to eat vegan. Throwing food away because of a mistake you made even though it is perfectly edible is not helping the animals (and it is so wasteful!)
🍂
Obviously in this case, it was just extract and not actually pieces of meat, dairy, or egg, so it was easier for me to eat it without trying to think about it. And honestly, I'm unsure if I would be able to eat anything non-vegan without getting sick (because I got hives after eating the tofu pockets 🙃), but it's nuanced and eating a non-vegan product you bought by accident doesn't make you a bad person. It doesn't discount your veganism. You simply learn from it and keep trucking on.
🍁
Anyway, I explain this in the video but have a watch it you want to see how I made the inari and the beautiful trees on the hike 😁#thevietvegan #thevietveganrecipes https://youtu.be/aBY97WhZCw4 #inarisushi #whatveganseat

I've been eating this nearly every day for the past four days 😂 bánh hỏi thịt nướng chay! I've been meaning to develop a nem nướng chay recipe to go along with this but this week was not the week haha.
🥗
Did anyone else grow up eating platters upon platters of bánh hỏi at long weekend parties and family gatherings? I swear these take up less space in my body than actual noodles because I can always eat an alarming amount 😂
🥗
Check out the new video on YT and the recipe on my blog, swipe up links in my stories!
