EASY LOW FAT OVEN ROASTED PEPPERED POTATO WEDGES
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!

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.

- Feel free to experiment with different seasonings and herbs to customize the flavor of the wedges.
