ingredients
directions
- Put the kettle on.
- Scrub the potatoes, cut each one in half lengthways and then in half again to make 4 long wedges.
- Put the potato wedges into a saucepan, cover with boiling water and bring back to the boil. Cook for about 5 minutes from the time that the water boils, then drain thoroughly.
- Meanwhile, heat the grill. Brush the drained potato wedges all over with olive oil, then put them on a baking sheet and place them under the grill.
- Grill on high for 10-15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender right through and golden brown, turning them as necessary. Remove from the grill, sprinkle them with sea salt and serve with toppings.
- Variation *1: Herbs - sprinkle with fresh rosemary or thyme before grilling. Caraway seeds also work.

I'm an ex-pat NZer living in the tropical Top End of Australia. Which makes it a perfect place to make homemade bread and summer recipes all year around. I experiment on my 3 kids who have grown up trying new Zaar recipes every other day and they are thriving.
I'm the lacto-ovo vegetarian in the family and somehow I got roped in to become a Forum Host here at Zaar. So check out the Vegetarian and Vegan Forum http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=43 and feel free to join in whether you are a fully fledged vegan or someone who needs to cater for a vegetarian and has no idea where to start.
Every year I try to do something a bit different to push the envelope a little bit. In 2005 I learned how to sail a dinghy; 2006's grand passion is mosaics. Check out my blog!
Between raising three children, working almost fulltime and trying to pursue my hobbies...let's say that my time management skills have greatly improved over the years!
I am also very interested in living a sustainable lifestyle. Essentially I'm finding that I'm getting back to the country lifestyle I enjoyed in my childhood even though these days I live in themiddle of suburbia. To this end I have started gardening although I am a total gardening virgin when it comes to gardening in a tropical climate. I also have a cookbook with a number of recipes you can make from scratch. Living clean and green is good for you AND cheaper!
