Step by step

Chips

  1. Wash the potatoes and cut them into chunky chips or wedges
  2. Sprinkle a little oil over them and put them into the oven 200c/fan 180c/gas 6 for 30 minutes turning them every 10 minutes. For something a little different sprinkle over a seasoning of your choice eg cajun spice, fajita spice, chill etc or just have them with a little salt and pepper.

Fishcakes

  1. Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water until really tender. Drain and allow to steam-dry in a colander. Tip into a bowl, season and mash. Stir in the mayonnaise, tuna, sweetcorn and chives or parsley. Shape into 4 cakes and chill until cold and firm.
  2. Dip each cake into the flour, then egg and then the breadcrumbs.
  3. Heat the oil in a frying pan and gently fry the cakes for 2-3 mins on each side until golden. Keep them warm in a low oven until you’re ready to eat.
  4. Serve with homemade oven chips, salad and mayonnaise or salad dressing.

Slaw

  1. Either grate the vegetables/salad or thinly slice them with a potato peeler and put them all together in a bowl
  2. Mix together a small pot of natural yogurt with the juice of half a lemon or lime (which equals about a tablespoon of bottled juice) and add some herbs if you want to or just a little bit of salt and pepper and mix it well into the vegetables or salad
