Everyone loves chips; everyone worries about the fat in them. Here is a great substitute - Oven Crisped Potato Wedges. Crusty and brown, they are low in fat but pack a punch in flavour terms.
Any large potato will do but halved new potatoes also work well. This recipe will not be hard on the budget.
Make it even healthier by using sweet potatoes, washed but unpeeled.
Cost: £1
Serves: 2-4
Ingred:
2 large potatoes
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4-1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning
Method
1. Preheat oven to 400f/200c/180 fan/gas 6. (This is the same temperature for Unfried Fish; they can share a tray)
2. Scrub but don't peel potatoes. Cut each potato lengthwise in half then each half into three similar sized wedges. Place in cold water, drain when ready to cook and dry.
3. Put the chips in a large bowl, sprinkle over olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix with your hands.
4. Spread out on a tray leaving room between each.
5. Cook for 30-35 minutes, turning once.
6. Tip cooked potatoes into a clean bowl; add Cajun seasoning
7. Toss well and serve
Alternative:
Try sprinkling a mix of 1/2 tsp finely chopped garlic and 1/2 tsp finely chopped chives over baked wedges, a popular topping in a Trafalagar Square hotel frequented by foreign journalists.
