My Potato Wedges

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas mark 4.

Prick the baking potatoes with a fork or skewer to let the steam out whilst cooking.

Rub them with butter and sprinkle with a little salt.

Place the potatoes on a baking tray in the middle of the oven and bake for 45 minutes –1 hour. They should be soft but cooked.

When cooked, place them to one side and allow to cool.

When cold, slice them into wedges. You should get six out of each potato.

Using a deep fat fryer, turn to 175°C/350°F and deep fry the wedges for 3 - 4 minutes until golden brown.

If you are using vegetable oil in a deep sided pan, also heat to 175°C/350°F and deep fry the wedges for the same time until golden.

I love these with another pinch of salt whilst dipping into a cool dip.
