With the current focus on healthier diets, we are all getting more conscious of what we eat. Take chips, we all love 'em. And we all know they are bad. So instead of chips I now do these...
For 2 people I use 3-4 largeish spuds. 'Reds' work quite well with this.
Peel spuds (This is optional - if not peeling though, wash well).
Cut into wedges, about the size and weight of a normal chip.
HINT - For best results cut spud in half, place flat side down. Then, starting from 2cm above chopping board, cut in and down so the knife meets the board halfway through the spud. Repeat so the knife again finishes at same point.
Wash 'em in water, then dry on a clean tea-towel. (Important bit this!)
Now place into a large mixing bowl.
Add extra virgin olive oil. (A little at a time and toss well - You want the wedges to be lightly but evenly coated in oil.)
Add salt and pepper to taste. Garlic salt can make an interesting alternative![]()
Now spread out on a large baking tray and cook in oven (Gas Mark 6) for around 35-45 minutes. Turning once halfway through. HINT - To see if their done... Eat one![]()

These are yummy, and a lot healthier than deep frying. Anyone got any others?

. The only time I use vegetable oil now is in the wok, due to the higher temps. Not only is olive oil slightly better for you, but the kitchen smells a lot more appetising in that 'After Fry' smell
