Step by step

To make the sweet potato wedges:

  1. Heat the oven to 180oC/375oF/gas mark 5.
  2. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and then cut each half in half again. Put them in a bowl and mix with a sprinkle of oil and a shake of salt, pepper and paprika (or other herbs and/or spices).
  3. Put the wedges on a baking tray and bake in the oven for around 25 mins.

To make the tuna parcels:

  1. Chop the spring onion finely, drain the tuna and sweetcorn, and mix it all together in a bowl with the lemon juice.
  2. Take one filo pastry sheet, open flat and brush with olive oil. Put another sheet on top and brush with oil. Spoon ½ or a ¼ of the tuna mixture (depending on whether you make 2 or 4 parcels) onto a corner of the pastry.
  3. Fold the bottom corner over the mixture and brush with oil. Fold in both the sides, so it looks like an envelope. Roll up from the bottom to form a sausage shape and brush again with oil. Make the rest of the parcels in the same way.
  4. Place the parcels on a baking tray and bake for about 15 mins until golden brown and crisp.
