  • KCals 167
  • Carbs 32G
1 Serving

Ingredients

  • 240 g potatoes
  • ¼ tsp garlic granules or garlic powder
  • low-calorie cooking spray
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C.

  2. Square off your potatoes by cutting off the sides until you are left with a rectangle. If you are using a large potato rather than a few small ones, cut this rectangle into smaller pieces, around 2.5cm x 1.5cm.

  3. Take a sharp knife and carefully cut diagonal lines across the large side of the potato rectangle. They should be 3-4 millimetres apart and reach halfway through the thickness of the potato - be careful not to cut deeper than halfway!

  4. Flip the potato over and cut horizontal lines across the length of the opposite side. They should also be around 3-4 millimetres apart and reach halfway through the thickness of the potato. Now when you gently pull the two ends of the potato it should stretch like an accordion! If it doesn't, you may need to go over some of your cuts to make them a little deeper.

  5. Once you have cut all your potatoes, spray them well with low-calorie cooking spray. Try to stretch them a little while you do this so it gets into the cuts.

  6. Sprinkle over your garlic granules, salt and pepper. Again, try to get the seasonings into the cuts of the potato if you can!

  7. Line a baking tray with foil and spray well with low-calorie cooking spray. Place the potatoes onto the tray and put them into the oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping over halfway through the cooking time.

  8. Once ready, serve with a main of your choice!
