Potato Wedges

November 27, 2018 S Malik 11 Comments

Baked Homemade Allergy Friendly Potato Wedges

These homemade Potato Wedges are very easy to make. They are naturally gluten free so make for a great side. A favorite in our family. You can use any spices and herbs you like. I use herb d`Provence or Italian seasoning. However, for this recipe I used single herbs as I ran out of the other two mixes. They will go well as a side with burgers or Chicken Lettuce Wraps.

How to cook the wedges

If you have a "Roast" setting you can use that to get more browned wedges. If not, you can simply bake them as would normally bake potatoes. Either way you need to bake them for one hour.

You can use any kind of potatoes you like even sweet potatoes. The skin can be peeled off, if you like your wedges like that. I like to leave it on for its nutritional benifits. Just wash it thoroughly

SANITIZING KITCHEN SURFACES icon for cleaning the surface after cooking
While the wedges are being baked, clean the surface of where you cut the potatoes first, using soapy water, then rinse with clear water. Then apply the diluted bleach solution and let air dry. One way to sanitize food-contact surfaces is to combine 1 tbsp. of regular, unscented chlorine bleach in 1 gallon of water OR ¾ tsp. of bleach in 1 quart of water.

Cook Notes

  • I used individual herbs such as Oregano, Basil, Thyme, Rosemary, Parsley,
    1/2 teaspoon each or eyeball it.
  • Make sure you sprinkle oil before the herbs, salt & pepper. The spices and herbs will stick to the potatoes better and will not settle at the bottom of the tray.

Mince Meat and Potato Cutlets

November 16, 2018 S Malik 12 Comments

Egg Free and Dairy Free Mince Meat and Potato Cutlets

These mince meat and potato cutlets, as they are called in our family or you can call them patties, are super easy to make. The mince can be substituted for any other kind of meat you like. They can be made in batches and frozen. The original recipe I am sure is very different from the version I make, as I have adapted it to suit our taste buds and dietary requirements.

They can be packed for school lunch or eaten as a side. I think these will go well as a side with my Chicken & Veggie Rice or Cauliflower Fried Rice or even an accompaniment to Chicken Corn Soup, in this cold weather.
