Instructions: Solid baking tray measuring approximately 40 x 28cm.

Preheat the oven to gas mark 8/450F/230C.

First wash the potatoes very thoroughly then dry in a clean tea cloth they need to be as dry as possible; if theyre ready washed just wipe them with kitchen paper.

Leaving the peel on slice them in half lengthways and then cut them again lengthways into chunky wedges approximately 25mm thick.

Dry them again in a cloth then place them in a large bowl with the oil and a sprinkling of salt.

Toss them around a few times to get them well covered with the oil then spread them out on the baking tray and place in the oven on a high shelf to roast for about 30 minutes. They should be golden brown and crisp after this time; if not give them a few more minutes.

Finely sprinkle with a little more salt then serve immediately.

These are believe it or not low fat just one dessertspoon of oil between four to six people so not quite as wicked as it would first seem.

Serves 4
