Made by you? How did you do the wedges? Parboil then double fry?
Yes all made by me burgers, rolls, wedges and actually the unseen tomato jam.
For the Wedges/Chips
1. Peel and cut the potatoes into wedges/chips and rinse them under cold water 2-3 times to get the excess starch off.
2. Boil in salted water until they begin to break apart. Let them cool down on a rack and put them in the fridge for as long as possible, I leave them overnight. The theory behind this is the air in the fridge is dry and you want as much moisture out of the potatoes to make them fluffy and crispy.
3. The next step is to blanch them in oil at 160 to form a "skin" on them but you don't want to colour them. You then drain them on paper towel. Some recipes say you can do this step the day before after the blanching then leave them overnight but I prefer to do it on the day.
4. The last step is to fry them at 180-200 until golden and crisp. Then drain on paper towel and salt and enjoy.
Just a note that the type of potato make a massive difference to the crispness so look for a suitable "chipping" potato.

Had a test run with these just now.
Will be making another batch for snacks tonight when we have guests over for a braai.
Bacon-wrapped, cream-cheese-and-garlic-filled jalapeno poppers.

Tell them it's waaaay to spicy hot
And truth is, if you remove those pips when you put the cream cheese in, it's not even mild

Yep. Only has a nice spiciness to it. If it was only for my consumption tonight I would leave a few seeds in.

Got these at Woolworths. R10 per pack of 6.
Usually get them at my local Spar or Fruit and Veg like fanie. But they only had small ones today.
Those look great, were the jalapeños roasted first?Had a test run with these just now.

No but think that will add great flavour.
Just concerned about filling them with the cream cheese filling when they are roasted and soft. Might be difficult when they are that tender.
Could be great maybe pop them in the fridge to firm them up a little.

That looks fantastic.
For some reason my filling always spills out when I try to make filled burgers or meatballs.
