Great Potato recipes...

...from the British Potato Council

Potato Wedges

Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Serves: One 175g-225g (6-8oz) potato per person

Preparation
Scrub the potatoes, then cut each into half lengthways, and then in half lengthways again. Repeat until you have 8 even-shaped wedges.

Microwave Method
Place the wedges in a shallow microwavable dish with 15ml (1 tblsp) water. Cover loosely and cook on full power (800w) for approximately 5-6 minutes. Allow to stand for 1 minute before draining and serving.

Tip

Potato wedges are very versatile and can be made with almost any potato.

Serving Suggestion
Wedges can easily be turned into a tasty healthy snack. Sprinkle the cooked wedges with grated cheese and place under a hot grill for 2 minutes, or add them to casseroles to make a complete meal.
