I love and prefer home made chips and wedges but just the time to do them.....

What's the chipolata like? X

Yea that's the thing with homemade,need time set aside for it,hard when you have little ones.The chipolatas are nice,prefer them to WW sausages and they are the same pp,cheaper to buy aswell :0)
 
For homemade chips and wedges I just buy a bag of cheap potatoes cut them all up and parboil them for 5minutes then cook some for dinner and freeze the rest then you can just cook from frozen so much less hassle! :) x
 
May have to try. I make a sausage BBQ bean and mash bake which my family love and can't do it cos it's high in pp so may try these. :) x

Actually you've reminded me of a sausage,bean potato and cheese pie I used to make,it was one of my exes favourite meals ;0)
 
Yea that is literally it.
Cook 6 sausages and cut up, put in a dish with 2 Tins of BBQ beans and cover with cheese and mash with a sprinkling of BBQ seasoning.
It's very homely.

Re chips I pop them in the microwave for 8 mins then pop in oven. :)
I freeze my bns, I cook it in the oven for an hour, that loosens the skin, then let it cool, cut into chunks and freeze what u don't use. Xxx

Anything that reduces cost and effort I'll be all over it lol ;-) its great having spare in the freezer to just spray with frylight and cook from frozen hardly any more effort than oven chips really :)

Parboiling just helps them be a bit softer in the middle as I like them crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside :-D x

Lol like your style as always,I appreciate any help so thank you :0) yea will have to freeze some for sure.
 
Dinner looks totally yummy, Daisy. Mmmm. And I am definitely liking the idea of this sausage, bean, potato and cheese pie *drools*.

I also microwave my potatoes before roasting in the oven, I find they only tend to take about 30-35 minutes to crisp up then rather than about 45 minutes if parboiled. I have also started doing chips and wedges with new potatoes rather than old potatoes and they are so so tasty - the inside ends up tasty almost buttery. Definitely recommend trying it. As a bonus they also take less time to microwave too!

Oh and how long to cook from frozen please?

Think about 40mins and then just keep an eye on them til they look ready. I have one of those mesh tray things from pound land helps them cook a bit more evenly and quicker. X
