Shops charge a silly amount for readymade potato wedges and 9 times out of 10 add far too much salt which we all know isn't good for us. Plus they take pretty much the same amount of time to cook as do frozen ones for a pack.
Once they're cooked there's nothing else needed apart from a bowl of sour cream and chive dip for dunking; want one?
