garlic potato wedges

a great side dish and a healthier alternative to chips

Ingredients

• 1. potatoes (Charlotte potatoes taste the best)
• 2. garlic infused olive oil
• 3. chilli infused olive oil (or you could use a little chilli powder)
• 4. sweet smoked paprika (its the most common, cheapest type. The other type of paprika is spicy)
• 5. salt and black pepper (preferably freshly ground)

Instructions

STEP 1:

1. chop the potatoes into quarters (or smaller if they are large potatoes,they need to be about 3/4 of an inch thick). You do this by cutting them in half lengthways, placing the flat side on the chopping board and cutting it down the middle lengthways. You can chop them a different way but they may look weird, this is the traditional way, we all know what a potato wedge should look like!

STEP 2:

2. Place on an oven tray making sure that they don’t overlap.

STEP 3:

3. drizzle over the garlic and chilli oil.

STEP 4:

4. Sprinkle over the paprika and add salt and pepper.

STEP 5:

5. Bake in a hot oven for about half an hour (depending on the thickness of the wedges) until cooked all the way through and crisp.

STEP 6:

6. serve and enjoy!

STEP 7:

Tip: Unlike chips these don’t go well with ketchup or vinegar but they do go great with sweet chilli sauce, creme friache or, if your feeling naughtly, garlic mayonnaise.
