I have been trying to come up with a way to make healthy chips for meals during the week. We tend to eat a lot of potatos, probably too many, and coming up with different ways to serve them is fun!
These wedges turned out really well, and the kids love them!
* 500g or there abouts of Potatos
* Salt
* Paprika
* Pepper
* Olive Oil Spray ( I have this really neat gadget that I'll post a pic of)
Chop the potatos lengthwise, do not peel!! Soak in water for 10 minutes or more, then rinse the potatos in clean water. The reason you soak them is to get rid of excess startch and any chemicals on the skins that have been sprayed.
Put the potatos in a large pot and bring to the boil. Adding a bit of salt to it, not much if you are like us and dont eat much salt! Once the potatos are boiling, turn the water down to a slow simmer and cook for 3 minutes or until a fork pierces a potato piece but it is still firm. Do not over cook!!
All of the above can be done a while before you want to cook the chips.
Drain the potatos immediatly and wash with cold water. Let them cool before the next stage.
Preheat oven to 220oC.
Put cold potatos into a plastic bag, add 1 tbsp paprika and pepper to taste. Shake the bag to get it evenly spread over your chips.
Lay chips on 2 trays covered in baking paper and bake in oven for 20 mintues. Check on them occasionally and give them a wiggle so they don't stick to the paper! Turn if you feel it is needed, but I don't generally.
Done!
