Cos I no longer feel able to post photos of my actual dinner any more.

I made dinner a few nights ago was going post a pic but it was ever so slightly overcooked so I didn't

Love the thread though, loads of inspiration

Can we just rename this thread to "Photos of Haute Cuisine from amateur chefs that you mere mortals can never aspire to" and just be done with it? Cos I no longer feel able to post photos of my actual dinner any more.

Nonsense. What did you have, cupcake?

I had leftover Chilli Con Carne made from an Uncle Ben's jar, some mince and an inappropriate amount of Sriracha sauce, with home made oven baked potato wedges. And, frankly, that was adventurous for me. LOL

Sounds pretty good to me!

[castex]

Sounds good. You're pushing the boat out with those wedges.
I had chilli as leftovers for lunch only no Uncle Ben's. Let me know if you're interested in a dead easy recipe.

I very much doubt that a photo of it would have qualified for the exalted circles of this thread though.

Quite seriously, though, if you want to try home made wedges, then it is insanely easy. And if you are at beyond the same level of ignoramus cookery as me then move on, but if not then walk with me...

Take some charlotte new potatoes. Wash, then cut into quarters (longitudinally, if we;re going to get geeky. Although I don't think it makes a fkload of difference)

Grease a baking tray with a few squirts of 1 cal spray oil. Or, if you aren't on a diet, douse a baking tray with oil. Whatevs.

Spread the wedges on the baking tray and spray a few more sprays of oil on them. Or if you're not on a diet, fking drench the bds.

Oven cook in a pre-heated oven at around 180°C on a fan oven (adjust as necessary for luddites) for around 25 mins.

Experience fking amazing home made wedges.

Well here's my steak from the other night. Sirloin plus champ mash and a whisky, mushroom and cream sauce. Very much not haute cuisine!

Get it up. Leftovers with microwaved rice.

Yes, but in fairness, Cotty, you are a legend.

Roast potatoes?

[castex]

parboiling is always worthwhile.
10 mins in boiling water.
Drain. Shake the pan.

Lid off, dry them out.

Butter.

Now roast in goose fat.

I do the same, but put the wedges in a bowl & shake on 3 or 4 teaspoons of cajun seasoning, add a good glug of oil & then mix well.
45 minutes on 200c. Very nice indeed.

I do this, toss the wedges in a tsp of rosemary and a tsp of paprika before cooking.

[Type R Tom]

Yep needs some garlic / onion powder and anything else in the cupboard that's appropriate. Sweet potato ones are great too!

[ClockworkCupcake]

As drunken posts go, I was on a roll last night.

Thanks for the suggestions - I'll try those. I feel like a proper chef now.

[Cotty]

Might try some wedges in the actifry
