It's a "refried" jacket potato, skin on cut in to wedges. Worth a try. I just bake a few extra when we have jackets for that reason.

This, as an invention, simply must be tried.

So. You bake some extra. Then when cold cut them into chips and then deep fry? Seems like a wonderful idea!

Yep, they ate great.

I actually brushed melted duck fat on them and roast with sea salt.

[Pferdestarke]

Yes. Fried jacket potato wedges. You've got it.

I've been doing it for years, it came from my wife who used to work in a little pub near us years and years ago. At the end of lunchtime service if they had any jacket potatoes left, they got chopped up into wedges, deep fried, heavily salted and put out on the bar.

Such a shame you never get stuff like that any more, at least I havent seen it.

Ribeye, bernaise and twice roast duck fat wedges.







There was also a baked Camembert but forgot to take pics of it!

I had fish most of last week, needed a treat of some sort. It hit the spot!

I bet it did.

I was quite happy with my choice until I saw your picture. I am now starving.

A very small steak from Lidl






Very well marbled to give it credit, not sure if this is a one off. My wife went there to buy some " fruit and veg" and I was trapesing along

Pretty thin so hard to cook, tasted fine though.

Here's the co-founder of Chefsteps cooking a perfect fillet with their new sous vide called Joule.

A birthday dinner request of Mrs Tickle was steak with Béarnaise... again. So for the second time in a fortnight here is a steak served a la man for a woman.

Edited with pics, beef has gone to my brain!

Simple sirloin.

[Pferdestarke]

That looks like a quality piece of meat.

Wife and I had them last Friday, they weren't too bad. Cooked them using the Heston Bloomincomplicated method of turning them every 15 seconds for 3 and a half minutes, with a nice mushroom fricasee and a great big sourdough crostini on the side.

This was meant to be a Friday steak, but was out, so had it last night.

Think it was 13oz.

[ApOrbital]

Perfect.

That device looks excellent. And it would go in the cupboard...

Fantastic looking steak very nice work on the cooking.

Can I recommend a proper knife though ?

A proper steak knife cuts cleanly through it and makes it "more tender" as a result even before you get it to your moouth. Avoid those serated fancy knives with horn handles .... damn and beealzebub, worst ever. Complete style over substance.

grrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Gandahar]

Bored of left overs so a bit of sirloin from Waitrose





and how to properly give it a "sauce"

[Patch1875]

So wanting a steak right now!

My favourite meal, cooked by my own fair hand.
