Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large potatoes floury type
  • 2 tablespoon neutral oil vegetable or sunflower oil
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon chilli powder
  • ½ brown onion cut into thin wedges
  • ½ red pepper diced
  • ½ green pepper diced
  • 1 garlic cloves thinly sliced
  • ½ red chilli thinly sliced
  • ½ teaspoon Chinese five-spice
  • ½ teaspoon caster sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 spring onions sliced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C Fan. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper or foil.
  • Cut the potatoes into wedges (about 8 wedges each) keeping the skin on.
  • Place them in a large pot, pour boiling water over them, cover with a lid and leave the potatoes to soak for 10 minutes.
  • Drain and leave the wedges to steam dry in a colander.
  • Tip the oil over the dry wedges and gently mix to coat. Spread them on the prepared baking tray in a single layer and place them in the oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring them gently once halfway through.
  • In the meantime, stir fry the onion wedges, bell peppers, garlic and chilli over medium heat for 6-7 minutes until the veggies are starting to soften slightly and brown.
  • In a small bowl, mix the Chinese five spice, sugar, salt, chilli powder and black pepper.
  • When the potato wedges are cooked, tip them and spring onion into the stir-fried veggies. Sprinkle everything with the spice mix and toss to combine. Toss them in the pan for 1-2 minutes to warm through and serve immediately.
