EASY LOW FAT OVEN ROASTED PEPPERED POTATO WEDGES



Easy Low Fat Oven Roasted Peppered Potato Wedges image

This is my Dad's recipe!!! Brilliant low fat & EASY roasted potato wedges with freshly ground black pepper and olive oil. I have also added garlic, lemon wedges, fresh thyme, fresh rosemary, cumin, chilli.......the list is endless! I have posted the basic recipe and it is obviously easy to add whatever you like, depending on the mood, season & type of meal you are serving. For example, rosemary is great with lamb dishes; thyme and oregano marries wonderfully with Italian & French cuisine; garlic and lemons are GREAT with roast chicken. The basic peppered recipe is still my favourite though - I use fleur de sel (local sea salt) in mine - but any coarse salt will be fine. I have given measurements for about 4 people......it is easily adapted up or down however!

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 lbs roasting potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
fresh ground black pepper
sea salt

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 220 C or 450°F.
  • Wash and scrub your potatoes well - no need to peel them!
  • Cut them into chunky wedges.
  • Place in a ziplock bag or plastic container and add the olive oil & black pepper.
  • Do NOT add the salt now as it encourages water!
  • Shake the container or bag well - making sure every potato wedge has been covered in oil.
  • Place peppered potatoes in a large and sturdy oven proof roasting tin - shake around to ensure they are in a single layer, more or less!
  • Sprinkle on the sea salt and any herbs & spices you may be using.
  • Give another good twist of ground black pepper over the potato wedges and roast in the oven for about 45 - 60 minutes or until crispy and brown!
  • Sprinkle over any fresh herbs, if you are using them for a garnish or just serve "au natural" as a vegetable accompaniment.
  • I often serve these in paper cornets for a light lunch or supper time snack with vinegar & sometimes, very naughty I KNOW, mayonnaise!

Tips:

  • For crispier wedges, ensure that the potatoes are evenly coated with oil and spices before baking.
  • To achieve a golden brown color, bake the wedges at a high temperature for the initial 15-20 minutes.
  • To prevent the wedges from sticking to the baking sheet, use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • For a healthier alternative, use olive oil instead of vegetable oil.
  • Feel free to experiment with different seasonings and herbs to customize the flavor of the wedges.

Conclusion:

Crispy Baked Potato Wedges are an easy-to-make, delicious, and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals.
