    Really easy recipe. I sliced my potatoes into 4 though as they were still nice thick discs of potato! Unless you've got a really good, trusty non-stick baking tray (I haven't and keep meaning to invest in one) it's a good idea to use some bake-o-glide or similar because if the potatoes stick the crispy coating comes off and stays welded to the tray. Turning the potatoes regularly can help. The reason I mention all this is because I've followed so many recipes like this and been disappointed that lovely golden potatoes failed to tip out!

    So quick and easy to make, they make the perfect side with nearly any meal! However make sure you get a good non stick tray or put foil down first... otherwise they will stick!!

    I loved this, it was so easy and absolutely tasty. I also used a spicy humus as a dip for these, and it was great. :)

    so easy, tasty and makes a welcome change from chips or wedges. I served this with James Martin's one pot chicken chasseur with veg for my in-laws and everything went down a treat.

    Really loved these! I dusted mine in cajun spice as well and they turned out delicious, they weren't very crispy though, don't think I left them in long enough but it didn't really matter though as they still tasted good!
