Recipe : Baked Garlic Herb Potato Wedges Serves 4-6 as a side.

1.5kg/3lb Baking Potatoes – scrubbed and dried

2-3 tbsp Olive Oil or Rapeseed Oil – I use Kentish Oils

4 Garlic Bulbs – crushed/finely minced

1 tbsp Fresh Thyme

Salt and Pepper to taste

Method :

Preheat oven to 200C/185C fan.

Cut each baking potato in half lengthways. Cut each half into wedges, approx 1/2 inch wide – try to keep all the potato wedges a similar size, this will ensure even cooking. Place all the potato wedges onto a large baking sheet/roasting pan.

Drizzle over the Olive Oil.

Ensure the wedges are spread out evenly and then place in the oven.

Bake for 40 – 50 minutes until golden and cooked through (I usually test larger wedges with a knife).

Note : I give the tin a good shake halfway through cooking, to ensure they don’t stick. Also, if they do start to stick, use a fish slice to separate them and flip them over.

Also I make these using fresh, minced Rosemary in place of the Thyme.  I honestly couldn’t pick a favourite – both versions are equally delicious!

I hope you enjoy trying and feasting on this dish.
