Home-made paprika potato wedges with a trio of dips

Method

 

1) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C Fan/Gas 7. Cook the wedges in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain thoroughly then place back in the pan and cover with a lid to steam dry. Place the wedges in a single layer on a non-stick baking tray and spray with low calorie cooking spray. Sprinkle over the Paprika and cook in the oven for 20 – 25 minutes, shaking the tray occasionally until well browned.

 

2) Meanwhile make the pesto style dip by placing all the ingredients in a food processor. Blend until fairly smooth then season to taste. Transfer to a bowl and chill until ready to serve.

 

3) To make the other dips, blend the ingredients and season as in step 2, then place in separate bowls and chill until needed.

 

4) Remove the cooked wedges from the oven, and then transfer to a bowl, sprinkle with sea salt and serve with the dips.

 

Tip: Wedges FREE; pesto style dip 1; garlic and herb dip FREE; tomato and basil mayo 1.
