550g potatoes, washed
2 tbsp olive oil
salt (to season)
pepper (to season)
Preheat the oven to 190'C/Gas mark 5
Cut the potatoes lengthways into wedges - leave the skin on
Dry them with kitchen paper or a tea towel and put in a large bowl
Dribble the olive oil over them and combine thoroughly with your hands
Now arrange in a single layer on a baking tray and cook for about 40 minutes until crisp and golden
Tips
Cut down the baking time - parboil the wedges for 5 minutes first, then dry before coating with the oil as above - cooking time can be reduced to about 25 minutes
Variations
Older children may enjoy the wedges coated (before baking) in cajun, BBQ or garlic seasoning. Be aware that most dried seasonings are quite high in salt.
