Potato Wedges

This is a very simple way to cook potatoes in the oven, and goes very well with fish, fried eggs, or anywhere you might have chosen to eat chips or roast potatoes.

Start by preheating the oven to 200 C/390 F

Take biggish potatoes, and either scrub them thoroughly and leave the skin on, or else peel them.
Cut them in half such as to leave the two "shallowest" halves

Cut each half-potato into a number of wedges or slices, each somewhat thicker than your middle finger. 

Prepare a baking dish; I used a shallow Pyrex dish. Into this put a good tablespoon or thereabouts of olive oil and a tablespoon or two of hot water: mix together using a spoon.

Flavour this mixture as you prefer but choose something quite savoury and tasty: I usually put in a shake of turmeric powder, salt, pepper, maybe crushed garlic or any spices or herbs that appeal to me at the time.

Mix all this together. Put in the potato wedges and stir them around to coat them all over as best you can.. Bake the dish in the oven for about half an hour, then test for done-ness.

If the spuds seem to be getting too dry roll them over a bit in the liquid to coat them; or alternatively, cover with a sheet of tinfoil.
Nice served with a squeeze of lemon, etc.
