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

Chilli sauce for kebabs etc

Home made chilli sauce to go with home made chicken kebabs or any other uses, we have had it in sandwiches and on steaks

1 tin chopped tomatoes

4 cloves of garlic

1 green chilli, I favour Birdseye chillis

Salt and pepper

1/2 a chopped onion

1/2 teaspoon of sugar

Put the garlic and chilli into a food processor and blitz

Add the onion and blitz again

Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper and sugar

Blitz the lot until you have a smooth sauce

Taste and season if required

If you want it hotter add more chillis

Guacamole

Also great with the chicken tacos recipe

2 very ripe hass advocados

Half a red onion finely chopped

Salt and pepper

Green chilli

Juice of 1 lime

Small handful of coriander

Put the chilli and half the red onion in a food processor or pestle and mortar and crush/blend until it forms a paste

Transfer into a bowl and add the advocados flesh, mash until semi smooth

Squeeze in the lime juice and season with salt and pepper

Add the rest of the onion and coriander

Stir and leave in fridge for 30 mins before serving
