Roasted potatoes / Crispy Potato wedges

A good option for Starters, healthy substitute to Chips ( no frying ) and no time spent cooking or preparing stuff...

Ingredients: 

4 small potatoes ( for the quantity in above pic )

1 Tsp Olive oil.. I used Extra Virgin Olive Oil

salt for seasoning

Ground black pepper

Sweet chili sauce for a dip

That's all....... :-)

Procedure:

1. In an oven tray, lay an aluminium foil and keep it in Oven
2. Keep oven for preheating. Temp. 200 Deg. ( Appropriate one for Gas oven I think it mark 6. confirm it,am not sure)
3. Meanwhile,wash the potatoes and cut them into big cubes ( as shown in pic or whichever way you like ). Don't peel them off.
4. In a large bowl add potato cubes, Olive oil, salt, powdered pepper and mix.
5. Spread these cubes on the baking tray.
6. Roast for 30 min or until golden brown / crispy looking. Flip them in between to even roast all the sides.
7. Serve hot with fav. dip.

I had also kept couple of tomato slices for roasting. But they take 10-12 min. They need to be removed in less time than potatoes :-)

Health benefits of potatoes:

They are so rich in Vitamin C. If you take away the fat ( like in fried fries or chips or baked potatoes with cheese or butter) and then it is an exceptionally healthful low calorie high fibre food that offers protection against cardiovascular diseases. It also have blood pressure lowering potential, vitamin B6.

The potato skin is a concentrated source of dietary fiber, so to get the most nutritional value from this vegetable, don't peel it and consume both the flesh and the skin.
