GET SHOPPING!
This is a reminder to check what ingredients you need to buy and add them to your shopping list. It’s good to do your own food shopping, but at the very least, you’re head chef, so send a family member out to the shops for you!

Let’s Cook!
- Wash your hands.
- Gather all necessary utensils.
- Scrub the potatoes under running cold water and put aside to drain.
- When dry enough, cut each into wedges down the length. It’s a good idea to cut them in half, then cut each half into either 3 or 4 wedges. Be careful as your make radial cuts towards the centre of each potato half.
- Put all the wedges in your mixing bowl.
- Add 2 tbsp olive oil to the bowl with the potatoes.
- Sprinkle 1 tsp smoked paprika over the potatoes.
- Add 1 tsp garlic powder.
- Add 1 tsp onion powder. (Don't stress if you don't have things like this – just leave it out! It'll only taste slightly different, but as you'll learn, you're going to be dipping these in sauce anyway, so don't stress!)
- Sprinkle 1 tsp salt.
- Add ½ tsp black pepper
- Toss the potato wedges until they are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
- Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking tray. They'll need to be a single layer to cook evenly!
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then turn them over one by one, and bake for another 20 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the wedges from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl.
- Drizzle 2 tbsp of BBQ sauce over the hot potato wedges.
- Toss the wedges to coat them evenly with the BBQ sauce.
- Serve immediately with your sour cream and sweet chilli sauce either on the side or in serarate dishes.
