    I have no idea about a halogen oven, but you could try shallow frying them in hot oil.

    I would fry them. too.
  • Yes. Chop them into wedges or slices, toss them in a little oil, or use a spray oil. Place them on a roasting tray, sprinkle with any herbs or seasonings you plan to use and roast. I would use 200oc and keep an eye on them as they probably won't take much longer than 10-15 mins at the most - think Oven Chips as this is more or less the same process.

    Hi cooking-mama,

    I would do (and have done) exactly as SallyForth has suggested. They're nice sprinkled with a little chilli and garlic powder.

    The main thread on wedges might give you some more ideas:

    Potato Wedges? - All you ever wanted to know about how make potato wedges

    I'll add your thread to that one later to keep the suggestions together.

  • Sally has described a method we've used before and it works well.
    Put the kettle on. ;)
