Potato wedges are the ultimate easy side dish – delicious and better for you than chips!
It's best to use a non-stick baking tray. If your baking tray has a tendency to stick, line it with baking paper.
Ingredients
- 1kg/2lb potatoes, any type though floury varieties give the best results
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
- rosemary, chopped, to taste (optional)
- 2–3 garlic cloves, left whole but crushed slightly using the side of a knife (optional)
Method
Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
Wash and dry the potatoes, but don't peel them. Cut the potatoes into large wedges and place into a bowl.
Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix well. Tip the potatoes onto a large baking tray (the wedges shouldn't be too crowded; use two trays if needed).
Bake until golden-brown and cooked all the way through (about 30 minutes). Serve the potatoes hot from the oven.
