Waitrose Spicy Jacket Potato Wedges

Potato wedges are a great alternative to chips. The make a nice change, its always good to add some variety to your diet! They are also much healthier in termes of fat content, whcih is always a bonus. I have tried quite a few bags of the cheaper potato wedges. Some have been OK, and some have been disappointing. It soon became apparent that with potato wedges, similar to oven chips, you get what you pay for. With this in mind, and knowing I had to organise a lunch soon for a few friends, I headed to the slightly classier waitrose and spent a bit extra on these wedges. The wedges are made of thick and chunky maris piper potatos and taste gorgeous. ...  Read the complete review

When I offered to help organise the buffet for my granddaughter's 13th birthday last week I didn't realise I was going to be a little under the weather the day before, with preparing and cooking heaps of food the last thing on my mind.

Still, this will be ...  Read the complete review

Potato wedges are a very handy alternative to oven chips. They are lower in fat weight for weight as well, making them a healthier option. These wedges are made with the potato skins left on. I think this gives them a bit more flavour those without the skin and of course, everyone knows all the goodness of a potato is in the skin, again making them a little more nutritious. The skins also crisp up nicely in the oven. They are called 'spicy' and there is a dusting of orangey spice on them - a little chilli powder maybe, although it just says 'spices' on the label.
