Wedges made easy

If you are buying potato wedges you are simply wasting your money. Wedges at home are dead easy to make. I have listed here is 2 simple variations.

Take your chosen number of potatoes and either peel or wash well (alternatively use new washed potatoes).

Leaving the potatoes whole pop into a bowl, add a small splash of water and microwave in 2 minute increments. You don't want to cook the potatoes so they should still be very firm when you check them.

Turn your oven onto 220 oC.

Line a very shallow backing tray or biscuit slide with baking paper. Brush the paper with peanut or vegetable oil and pop into hot oven until crispy and golden. Keep an eye on them because at this temperature they will cook quickly.

Variation 1: Sprinkle with chilli powder
Variation 2: Sprinkle with powdered onion

Cut the potatoes into wedges and place on a baking tray then spray or brush lightly with cooking oil.

Serve with sour cream to be really decadant. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
