how to cut potato wedges?

  1. Wash the Potatoes: Start by thoroughly washing the potatoes to remove any dirt since you’ll likely be keeping the skin on. The skin adds texture and nutrients.
  2. Cut in Half: Place a potato on the cutting board and slice it in half lengthwise. This gives you two large, flat surfaces to work with, making it easier and safer to cut the wedges.
  3. Slice into Wedges: Take each half and place it cut-side down on the cutting board. Depending on the size of the potato and how thick you want your wedges to be, you can then cut each half into 3-4 wedges. To do this, you might cut each half in half again lengthwise, and then, if desired, cut each of those pieces in half again.
  4. Repeat: Repeat the process with the remaining potatoes.

STEP 1 :

Place a large non-stick saucepan over a medium heat and add the beef and onions. Cook together for 5 minutes, stirring the beef and squishing it against the sides of the pan to break up the lumps. Add the garlic, 1–2 teaspoons of chilli powder, depending on how hot you like your chilli, and the cumin and coriander. Fry together for 1–2 minutes more. Sprinkle over the flour and stir well.

Slowly add the wine and then the stock, stirring constantly. Tip the tomatoes and kidney beans into the pan and stir in the tomato purée, caster sugar, oregano and bay leaf. Season with a pinch of salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper.

STEP 3 :

Bring to a simmer on the hob, then cover loosely with a lid. Reduce the heat and leave to simmer gently for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mince is tender and the sauce is thick. Adjust the seasoning to taste and serve.

STEP 4 :

Bring the pan to the table. Serve with bowls of accompaniments and the chilli paste to add heat.

 

What is the difference between a potato and a sweet potato?

Potatoes and sweet potatoes differ in their botanical origins, nutritional content, and taste. Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) belong to the nightshade family and have a starchy, versatile flavor, while sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas) are from the morning glory family, richer in vitamins, particularly vitamin A, and have a sweeter taste. They also differ in appearance, with potatoes typically having white or yellow flesh and brown skin, and sweet potatoes having orange, white, or purple flesh with a variety of skin colors.

Description

For a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional fried foods, sweet potatoes cooked in an air fryer are an excellent choice. This method allows you to achieve the crispy texture and rich flavor that makes fried foods so appealing, but with significantly less oil, making it a healthier option.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 600g sweet new potatoes
  • 2 tbsp rapeseed oil
  • 1 tbsp cornflour
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • Ketchup, mayo or your dipping sauce of choice to serve

Instructions

  1. Slice each potato into quarters lengthwise, ensuring that all pieces are similarly sized (smaller potatoes may only require halving). As you slice, place the potato wedges into a bowl of cold water, stirring to remove any excess starch. After they are thoroughly washed, drain and pat them dry.
  2. Combine the other ingredients to form a thin paste, then drizzle this mixture over the potato wedges. Toss everything together to ensure the wedges are uniformly coated, then let them rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 200°C. Arrange the potato wedges in the fryer basket, preferably in a single layer with space between each for the best crunch. Cook for 18-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time. Serve the wedges hot, accompanied by your choice of dipping sauce.

Notes

washing and peeling the sweet potatoes. Cut them into evenly sized sticks or wedges to ensure uniform cooking. Soaking the cut sweet potatoes in cold water for about 30 minutes can help remove excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.
