    I made spicy potato wedges.. scrub potatoes, cut into wedges, rinse and dry. Put a teaspoon of olive oil and a teaspoon of vegetable oil in a plastic freezer bag, (I save old ones for this job, make sure there's no holes though!) add a pinch of mixed herbs and a good shake of your favourite ground spices; Cajun if you like it hot, mild Chili or make your own mix. I make mine with a blend of onion powder, Chili, ground cumin, coriander and fennel. Throw in the wedges and massage them around in the mix until they are completed covered - it's a great no mess, no waste way to get minimum oil on the wedges or chips! Tip them out onto a non stick tray (or line a tin with baking paper) and throw away the bag. Cook at the top of oven Mk 7 for around 25-35 mins depending on thickness.

    I agree Gillian. Mushy peas are made with dried peas, butter, pepper and vinegar.

    If you want real mushy peas then it is easy to soak the peas over-night and boil them in lightly salted water and a tsp bicarb for about 30 mins and drain and mash with a small knob of butter. Otherwise this version of mushy peas is just that,peas mushed up !!! I LOVE the chips and fish though.
