I made this recipe upĀ  a few nights ago. I have been developing some low fat/low salt recipes over the last few days

and just felt like something that resembled takeaway food minus all the fat and salt that is normally associated with that kind of food.

3 large red skinned potatoes

2 tbsps good olive oil

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp crushed black pepper

a very light sprinkling of lo salt ( a salt alternative that is very low in sodium)

some crushed garlic flakes

METHOD:

wash potatoes , cut in to large wedges

toss in olive oil and then all the dry seasonings, make sure they are well coated

lay on a baking tray and bake in a hot oven 180 degrees celcius/350 degrees farenheight for about 30-40 mins or untill crispy

turning at least once

and serve with low fat sourcream or yoghurt and sweet chilli sauce or regular sour cream if your not on a low fat regime

I have now finished school for this year and will return to do level 5 next year. I have just scored myself a great job as a parttime Baker in a cafe in Ellerslie. Its the end of the first week and its been great. Your first week in any new job is always a bit challenging , and bound to have the odd hiccup but its those hiccups which are great learning curves to make what you do much better.

I get to explore my creative mind in trying new things and introducing new flavours. its really good wholesome down to earth food with a lovely homemade feel about it which is just perfect. Its just part time but theres always the opportunity to pick up extra hours further on down the track. From little acorns grow big trees.
