Directions

3. Make the Protein Dip

  • In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sweet chilli sauce, and Uvolve collagen protein until smooth.

4. Serve & Enjoy

  • Once the potato wedges are golden brown and crispy, drizzle or toss them in the sauce.

  • Serve immediately and enjoy the perfect blend of crispy, creamy, and slightly sweet heat!



Tips & Tricks for the Best Potato Wedges

🥔 Why Use Carisma Potatoes?

  • Carisma potatoes have a lower glycaemic index (GI) than regular potatoes, meaning they have less impact on blood sugar levels and provide longer-lasting energy.

  • They’re naturally creamy and soft on the inside, making them perfect for air-frying!

🔥 Oven Alternative

  • No air fryer? No worries! You can bake the wedges in a fan-forced oven at 220°C for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway for even cooking.

🌿 Customise Your Flavours

  • Make it spicy: Add chilli flakes or smoked paprika to the wedges for an extra kick.

  • Go herby: Toss the wedges with garlic powder, rosemary, or thyme for a more savoury twist.

  • Swap the dip: Prefer something different? Mix the collagen protein into Greek yoghurt or hummus for a new flavour profile.

🥚 Boost the Protein Even More

  • While the collagen protein already enhances the protein content, you can add a side of boiled eggs, grilled chicken, or cottage cheese for an even higher-protein meal.

Storage & Meal Prep Tips

🧊 Storing Leftovers

  • Store any leftover wedges in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

♨ Reheating for Maximum Crispiness

  • Air Fryer: Reheat at 180°C for 5 minutes to bring back the crunch.

  • Oven: Bake at 200°C for 10 minutes.

  • Avoid the Microwave! It will make the wedges soggy.
