Everyone loves fries but worries about the fat in them. Here is a great substitute - Unfried (Oven Crisped) Potato Wedges. Crusty and brown, they are low in fat but pack a flavour punch.
Make them even healthier using sweet potatoes.
They can be made with any large potato but I have also made them sucessfully with halved new potatoes. This recipe will not be hard on the budget.
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 Preheat oven to 400f/200c/180 fan/gas 6. (This is the same temperature used for Unfried Fish so they cook together.)
2. Scrub but don't peel potatoes. Cut each potato lengthwise in half then each half into three similar sized wedges.
3. In a large bowl, sprinkle over olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix with your hands. Spread out on a tray.
4. Cook for 30-35 minutes, turning once.
5. Mix garlic and chives, if using.
6. Tip cooked wedges into a bowl; add Cajun seasoning and toss to mix. 7. Sprinkle over garlic mix if using.
Tip: Instead of Cajun seasoning try a mix of 1/2 tsp finely chopped garlic and 1/2 tsp finely chopped chives. This combination was very popular in a upmarket hotel frequented by foreign journalists.
