Exclamations: This might just be the answer to all your problems. Chips (French fries) without the fat, the guilt, or that chip-pan stench. Thank you Linda Fields.
- 500g / 1 lb new potatoes
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano), or 2 tsp dried
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
- Preheat the oven to 200°C / 425°F.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, herbs, salt and pepper.
- Chop the potatoes lengthwise into 6 to 8 wedges and add them to the herb mixture in the bowl. Toss thoroughly to coat each piece of potato in oil. Stir in the parmesan cheese.
- Spread the potato wedges on a nonstick baking sheet (or a baking sheet lined with non-stick paper) and bake for 20 minutes, until they are tender and golden.
It also works with small old potatoes, although they might need a bit longer to cook.
