POTATO WEDGES, healthier indulgence, easy-peasy

Baked not fried but still crispy with soft interiors; full of flavour...

Potato Wedges, here with garlic & chive; also works with sweet potatoes
'These un-fried taters are fantastic; the garlic/chive garnish is excellent.' 

These easier healthier 'un-fried' potatoes are a great substitute for conventional chips.  They don't involve pans of oil and can be dressed up in several enjoyable ways (see below).
