Loaded Potato Wedges

All the hard work is done for you here, just scatter the wedges with leftover cheese and strips of bacon, salami or ham. Try a drizzle of pesto or chilli sauce and serve them with a platter of cold meats, salad and any pickles from the cupboard.

Serves 4-6

  • 150g grated hard cheese

    Add to eggs for omelettes, grate onto soups or salads.

    • Parmesan often goes rock hard or becomes horribly sweaty. Ideally, all cheese should be stored in a cool, airy place at a temperature of 46-50F/8-10C. However, most of us put it straight into the fridge. This is fine providing the cheese is kept loosely wrapped in its own airtight container so it isn’t tainted by other foods.
    • Store it in the salad drawer, which is not quite as cold as the rest of the fridge and use a micro plane for grating.
  • 6-8 slices unsmoked bacon, chopped into small pieces
  • 4 medium spring onions, finely chopped
  • Jalapeno peppers
