Thyme-scented Potato Wedges
by Katy Riddle
We all love a portion of deep-fat fried chips wrapped up in newspaper as a treat every once in a while, but that’s not a sustainable option for either your wallet or your waistband! Not only are these potato wedges much healthier for you than chips, they are also much simpler to make!

Ingredients:
- 2 medium sized baking potatoes (550g approx)
- 2 tbsp Olive Branch Olive Oil
- 1 tbsp thyme
- 1 heaped tsp each salt and pepper
- Note: This recipe serves 2 people. For every additional serving simply add 1 more medium sized potato, 1 more tablespoon of olive oil and another 1 teaspoon of thyme
-
Cooking Instructions:
- Set the oven to 250C / 480F (maximum temperature)
- Slice each baking potato in half widthways, and then slice each of these halves into 8 small right-angled triangles.
- Rub all of the potato wedges with kitchen towel to remove some of the starch, then place in an ovenproof dish (or baking tray).
- Pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the potato wedges, then sprinkle over 1 tablespoon of thyme and a heaped teaspoon of both salt and pepper.
- Mix all of the ingredients together in the dish to ensure that all of the wedges have an even coating – you might need to add a splash more olive oil or another pinch of seasoning, especially if you normally like salty chips!
- Put the dish into the oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, until the outside of the wedges turns golden and the insides feel soft when poked with a knife.
