Fried egg and sweet potato wedges
View the full article on guardian.co.ukStep 1
While you’re still upright, pop down to the shops and get some sweet potatoes and eggs and you’ll be all set for the big day.
Step 2
Begin by pre-heating your oven to 180C/gas four Slice your sweet potatoes into uniformly shaped wedges – this will ensure they cook evenly Add your wedges to a mixing bowl with one tbsp olive oil, one tsp paprika and one tsp cumin.
Step 3
Mix all the ingredients until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated If you have some, put some parchment paper down on to the grill rack – this is good because it ensures that the wedges get extra crispy.
Step 4
It makes quite a difference Lay the sweet potatoes on the rack (on the parchment paper if it’s there) with space left between them – again, to ensure crispiness Put them in the oven for 30 minutes.
Step 5
Don’t check on them before time because this will let the heat out If they are nicely browned after 30 minutes, turn the oven off but leave them in there to stay warm.
Step 6
If not, leave the oven on until browned and crisp Heat one tbsp olive oil in a frying pan over a medium to high heat on the hob To get the perfect egg – solid whites with a runny yolk – make sure the oil is simmering and when it is, crack the egg into the pan Cook the egg for around a minute and a half – until the whites are solid Remove the wedges from the oven and plate up with the egg For more cheap and healthy hangover recipes – head to James’ blog and feel free to tweet him any questions.
