Potato Wedges with Cream Cheese and Sweet Chili Dip
I have talked about my absolute love for potatoes many a times, because of this I always have to find new ways to eat my favorite vegetable, YES its a veggie 🙂 whether boiled, mashed, fried, deep fried, crisps all these I find ways of making tastier.
What I love most about these wedges is how soft they are on the inside yet so crunchy on the outside. They are a great TV snack if you want to have them on their own but they are also amazing accompanied by a saucy side, I had them with chicken wings in spicy strawberry bbq sauce,(YAP! Â that was a total orgasm in my mouth I tell you) you can have them with dry fry chicken or mbuzi, oven roasted chicken, Â dhania chicken, etc etc If you are having them on their own do not leave out the dips they take plain potatoes to a whole new level. HAPPY COOKING!!
Ingredients
- 500 grams potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
- Sweet chili sauce
- Sour cream or Cream cheese
Instructions
Boil potatoes in water seasoned with salt, pepper and the garlic powder. Potatoes should be boiled till soft yet still firm about 8-10mins. Remove and set aside
Heat the oil in a pan, I shallow fried but deep frying is fine too. Cook until all sides are browned.
In small bowls place the cream cheese/ sour cream in a bowl and sweet chili in another bowl, for even better flavor put the sour cream/ cream cheese in a small bowl and top with the sweet chili, dip as you it, HEAVEN

Bread Crumbed Sweet Potatoes
There are things I generally never ate as a child. If you ask me why I never ate them I really wouldn’t have an answer. I just thought that they were gross and generally anything natural or healthy I just did not like. I also had silly things I did not eat like beef!! Now this is a funny story..
When I was a toddler, must have been between 3 and 6, my mum tells me I always made a fuss about beef. I would state with authority that “mimi sikulangi nyama ya ng’ombe nakulanga ya mbuzi pekee” (I do not eat beef I only eat lamb) honestly there was no reason as to why I did not eat nyama ya ng’ombe and I was too young to even know the difference in taste between the two. But I was adamant about it so each time they cooked meat and I was in the kitchen they’d be forced to say “heeee hii nyama ya mbuzi itakuwa tamu” (this goat meat will be very tasty”) and yet they were cooking beef!!!!
My brother Nyaga also went through such a phase when he was around 6 or 7 years old. He was apparently, VERY allergic to the crusts of bread. He would make a big fuss and cry if you did not cut the crust out for him and he was allergic SMH. GOD children are stupid!! So like him and bread crusts I never ate sweet potatoes or enjoyed them till maybe 3 years ago. Now I’m learning new ways of making them like these sweet potato fries and this recipe today.
I do not really have the exact measurements for this as it was such a random make but I bet you will get the drift. I served it with string beans and stir fried chicken breast. Quite healthy I think

Recipe adapted from Spoon,Fork, Bacon
Ingredients
- 400 grams raw prawns, peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Small bunch of Dhania (coriander) , chopped
- 1 ½cups water
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cup honey
- 2 Tablespoons chili sauce
- sea salt to taste
Instructions
Place shrimp, green onions and garlic into a large mixing bowl and toss together. Set Aside.
Pour water into medium pot and add butter and salt and bring to a boil. Once mixture has come to a boil, add flour and quickly stir with a wooden spoon, until dough forms. Continue to stir over medium heat, for about 3 minutes.
Place dough into a stand mixer fixed with a paddle attachment and run on medium speed, allowing steam to escape.Once most of the steam has disappeared add the egg, one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Fold in the pepper then the prawns until fully incorporated
Once oil is hot, add tablespoon sized balls of the shrimp mixture into the oil (you’ll have to do this in batches); make sure not to crowd the pan/fryer and fry each fritter for 4-6 minutes flipping halfway if necessary. Drain on a paper towel and season lightly with salt.
For the spicy honey drizzle
Combine the honey and the chilli sauce together in a bowl and serve
HAPPY EATING!!
