Hey Hayley, sorry for the typing error the recipe should read as follows: Place on a baking tray and spray liberally with low calorie cooking spray. This has now been amended.

I’m not very good at “fine cut” so I have sent off for an Amazon gadget that is sort of like a spiralizer, that in theory should made the potato into a big long spring?!?!? I hope it works!!!! I will let you know. Thanks for the recipes, they are all magnificent xx
