Recipe: Potato wedges

Serves 4

Ingredients

• 4 King Edward potatoes or leftover baked potatoes
• vegetable oil to grease
• salt to season
• 3 litres (105 fl. oz) of vegetable oil

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas mark 4.
2. Pierce the potatoes with a fork, rub them with vegetable oil and sprinkle with salt.
3. Place them on a baking tray in the oven for 45 minutes–1 hour until soft and cooked. Leave them to cool.
4. Cut them into wedges — first into half and then each half into 3 to make 6 wedges from each potato.
5. Heat a pan of vegetable oil to 175°C/347°F and deep fry the wedges for 3–4 minutes until golden brown.
6. Serve with guacamole and salsa, or sweet chilli sauce.
