For a Girly Day: Patates me Paprika (Greek Style Potato Wedges with Paprika)

I simply love this recipe and I make it whenever I need to treat myself. I was tired yesterday because of  all the shopping I happened to do with a very good friend, Iti.. We strolled for 3 hrs in a mall, looking for all the girly things one can indulge in. I promised Avi that I would only shop for farewell gifts and instead got gifts for myself. C'mon, it happens! You never find anything when you go shopping for yourself and you always end up buying for yourself when you are shopping for others.  Phew! Life is a paradox.
 I made this yummy treat for myself as I relaxed watching the movie "Paheli" on TV and getting my pedicure done. It is quick and yummy...and not to forget, it is so satisfying. A must ingredient for a perfect girly day to end well :).

Serves: One Gorgeous Girl!

Ingredients:-
1 medium russet potato
1/2 tsp paprika 
1 small pod of garlic, minced
2 tsp of lemon juice
1/2 tsp of lemon zest
1/4 tsp crushed pepper
1/4 tsp of dried and crushed rosemary
1/4 tsp of  dried and crushed chives
3 tsp of olive oil
Sea salt to taste

Method:-
Dice the potatoes into wedges with the skin.
In a pan, heat oil and add the potatoes.
Fry them in medium-high till both the sized of the wedges become golden brown.
Reduce the flame to medium-low and cook closed until the wedges get cooked.
Stir every 2-3 mins so that the wedges do not burn.
Add salt, paprika,garlic,dried herbs, lemon zest and lemon juice,
Stir well and serve hot.
