OMELETTE WEDGES

Steps:

• Finely chop the spring onions and set aside. Thickly slice the potatoes (there is no need to peel them first), then boil in a pan of lightly salted water for 10 mins until just tender. Drain.
• Meanwhile snip the bacon into pieces with scissors. Heat a frying pan with 1 tsp oil, then stir-fry the bacon until it turns pink. Add the spring onions to the pan, stir briefly for a couple of secs to slightly soften, then tip the bacon and onion into a bowl. Wash and dry the frying pan.
• Break the eggs into a bowl, then whisk with the mustard and a little salt and pepper. Make sure you don't get any shell into the mix. If you are worried you might, you can break the eggs into a cup, one at a time, before adding to the bowl - or ask an adult to break them for you.
• Grate the cheese and add half to the egg mixture with the cooked bacon, onions and potatoes. Gently stir to mix everything. Heat 2 tbsp oil in the pan; when it is hot, pour in the mixture, then stir a couple of times as it sets on the base of the pan to start it cooking.
• Turn on the grill so it has time to heat up. Leave the omelette to cook, undisturbed, over a low heat for about 6 mins. Meanwhile, cut the tomatoes into wedges, scatter over the omelette and sprinkle with the grated cheese.
• When the omelette seems set on the base, but is still a little eggy on top, put the frying pan under the grill to cook the last of the egg mixture and melt the cheese. Cool for 5 mins, then turn out of the pan. Cut into wedges and serve with ketchup, toast, tea and orange juice for a delicious family breakfast.

POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bring a large pan of lightly salted water to the boil. Cut the potatoes into chunky wedges, then boil in the water for 7 mins. Drain and leave to steam dry for 5 mins.
• Spread the wedges out on a large baking sheet or two smaller ones. Toss with the oil and 1 tsp salt (preferably sea salt) and spread out so that they aren't overlapping. Roast for 30 mins, turning halfway until golden and crisp.

BALSAMIC STEAKS WITH PEPPERCORN WEDGES

Steps:

• Mix together the vinegar, stock, garlic, mustard, honey and olive oil in a large shallow bowl, then grind in some black pepper, but no salt. Add the steaks and turn to coat. Leave to marinate in the fridge for 1 hr, or preferably overnight.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the potatoes in a large bowl with the oil, thyme and peppercorns. Spread out on 2 greased baking sheets and bake for 10-15 mins until the potatoes are nearly cooked. Remove and leave to go cold.
• Open-freeze the wedges until solid, then pack into a large rigid container in layers, interleaving with foil. Individually pack the steaks into freezer bags - make sure they lay completely flat when you put them in the freezer. Use within 1 month.
• To serve, heat oven to 220C/200C fan/ gas 7, with a baking tray inside to warm up for the steaks. Put the wedges on another large baking tray, spread them apart and season. Bake for 20 mins until golden and crisp. Unwrap the steaks and brush both sides with oil. Press onto the hot tray and bake for 15-25 mins, turning after 10 mins and testing until hot, to give you medium-rare steak. Serve with the wedges and salad or peas, if you like.

• Cut into wedges.

BLT WEDGES

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve the drippings.
• Make the dressing: Combine the tomato paste, vinegar, sour cream, shallot, tarragon, sugar and 1 tablespoon bacon drippings in a medium bowl; whisk well. Add the olive oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified. Whisk in 2 to 3 tablespoons water to make the dressing thin enough to drizzle. Season with salt and pepper.
• Arrange the iceberg wedges on a platter and drizzle with the dressing. Top with the tomatoes and bacon.

ROASTED POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• Toss the potato wedges with the olive oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a bowl. Lay the potatoes on a baking sheet and cook until golden brown on each side, flipping halfway through, about 12 minutes per side. When both sides are golden and the potatoes can be pierced easily with a fork, the taters are done.

GRILLED SWEET POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• Place the sweet potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by 2 inches. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook just until the sweet potatoes can be easily pierced with a paring knife, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Remove the sweet potatoes from the water, let stand until cool enough to handle, then cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Brush the wedges with the olive oil; sprinkle with the chili powder and a little salt.
• Preheat a grill to medium-high. Grill the sweet potato wedges, turning once, until well-marked on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove to a platter. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.

• In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with the melted butter, olive oil, seasoned salt, cayenne, parsley, and 3 tablespoons of the Parmesan.
• Arrange in a single layer on 2 sheet trays. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 45 minutes. Turn the potatoes halfway through the cooking with flat spatula.
• Remove from oven and taste for seasoning. Add some kosher salt to taste and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with more Parmesan and serve.

• Wash the yams and slice into 1/4-inch-thick wedges. Place the yams in a large mixing bowl and coat with the olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and spread out on a baking sheet. Roast the yams until tender to the touch, about 30 minutes.
• Put the canola oil in a frying pan and heat to 180 degrees F. Fry the yams on each side until the outside is brown and caramelized. Season with salt, pepper and the chopped parsley. Serve with ketchup or your favorite condiment.

MEXICAN POTATO WEDGES
