Potatoes, old, wedges, with skin, homemade, cooked in rapeseed oil

These are homemade wedges made from mature potatoes, with the skin left on, cooked in rapeseed oil. They mainly provide carbohydrate, along with some fibre and fat from the cooking oil. Per 100g, they contain 27g of carbohydrate, 3g of fibre, 3.8g of fat and 702mg of potassium.

Carbohydrate provides energy for the body, while fibre helps support normal bowel function. Potassium contributes to normal nerve and muscle function. Rapeseed oil provides mainly unsaturated fat, although the amount of oil used affects the fat and energy content of homemade wedges. The salt content shown is low, but adding salt during cooking or at the table will increase it. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
