Potato wedges My alternative to chips

As a desperate attempt to find something that resembled chips but with very low fat content I came up with these
This is also great for making your carbs go further, as the potatoes are cut up it seems like you are getting more potato than you are
I have the basic recipe and then a few ideas further down to spice things up
calories per serving are 75 per 100grams
Pre heat an oven to 220c
2 new potatoes or 1 normal size potato per person
Low fat spray
Salt and pepper to season
Basic recipe
Cut the potatoes into quarters, do this length ways, do not peel
Spray and oven tray with low fat spray
Place the potatoes in the baking tray and season
Mix the potatoes around so that they are covered in the low fat spray
roast in oven for 20-30 mins
Chilli potato wedges
Same as above but when mixing the potatoes add 1-2 teaspoons of chilli powder
Garlic wedges
Add two cloves of garlic in their skin to the mixture, give them a bash before hand to let some of the flavours out but let them roast in their skins
Piri piri wedges
Sprinkle 1-2 teaspoons of ready mixed piri piri spices and mix
Basically add whatever flavour you would like with them, also a good tip is to squeeze some lemon juice over the potatoes when you take them Out of the oven
If you don't like the low fat spray just use 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil instead, this will add about 30 calories to the meal
