Potato wedges make a great change from oven chips or mash potato, and suit the whole family. These crisp, golden coloured potato wedges have a mild spicy and nutty flavour and make a great accompaniment to sausages or steaks. Use large potatoes for longer chip shaped wedges and where they're nice and mild for the kids, you can always add some extra spices if you like your food to be hot, hot hot. They couldn't be simpler to make too!

- Toss in the oil to coat well. Mix the flour, turmeric and salt and then mix into the wedges.
- Arrange the wedges on the tray, evenly spaced, in a single layer and sprinkle with a few stems of thyme. Bake for 20 mins. Turn the potatoes, sprinkle with sesame seeds and continue to bake for a further 10 mins until lightly golden and tender. Discard the thyme.
- To serve, drain the wedges and put in a warmed serving dish. Garnish with more fresh thyme and serve immediately.
