Ingredients
Method
- Cut the potatoes into wedges (with the skin on).
- Coat them with the olive oil, garlic, herbs, salt and pepper.
- Spread them in a single layer on a baking tray.
- Roast for 40 minutes at 200 °C, turning halfway through.
Nutritional benefits
Baked rather than fried, potatoes absorb almost no fat: you keep the crispness for far fewer calories than chips. With the skin on, they retain fibre, potassium and vitamin C. A healthy, filling side dish.
Variations and swaps
- With smoked paprika.
- With sweet potato wedges.
- Baby potato style (whole).
- With Parmesan and rosemary.
Storage and making ahead
Keep for 3 days in the fridge; reheat in the oven to bring back the crispness.
💡 Good to know
Spread them out in a single layer without overlapping: packed too tightly, they steam and do not brown. Space is what makes them crisp.
