Baked Potato Wedges

3 large potatoes
1.5 tbsp sunflower oil (I prefer olive oil)
A sprinkling of sea salt flakes
Dip
2 large tbsp of Vegan mayo
1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
5 freshly picked sage leaves, finely chopped
A few freshly cut chives, finely sliced

  1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC
  2. Scrub the potatoes (removing any eyes etc) and cut each into eight wedges – lengthways.
  3. Put into a bowl with the olive oil and toss until well covered, transfer to a baking tin and sprinkle with the sea salt.
  4. Place on the top shelf of the oven and bake for 30 minutes, check and return to the oven for a further 10 minutes if not ready.
  5. The potatoes should be crispy on the outside and soft in the middle, coloured a golden brown.
  6. Transfer to individual bowls.
  7. Quickly whisk the Vegan mayo, olive oil, sage and chives together until blended and serve.
  8. This could be made when the potatoes go into the oven and refrigerated until ready.
  9. These would be nice served with a sweet chilli dip or spicy tomato sauce.

Twice baked potatoes are wonderful, tasty – easy to make – good to eat. You can use any good quality soured cream or crème fraîche; snip the chives just before serving. Whilst I generally make these during the months when main crop potatoes are in season, you can use the larger new season potatoes which are [...]

Steak Diane with Potatoes

Right now I have a yearning for steak, this is one of my favourite “retro” dishes; I remember being treated to lunch by a friend during the miner´s strike in the 1980s – it was, and still is, a rare treat. I do not often eat red meat for health reasons, hence when something special [...]
