How to make roast potatoes:
Ingredients:
-A few sweet potatoes and a few normal potatoes
-Olive Oil
Method:
1:Peel and wash the potatoes.
2:Chop the potatoes into roast potato shapes
3:Get a roasting pan and cover with oil.
4:Add the cut potatoes and mix them in with the oil
5:Place in your oven for an hour {Sorry I can't remember what temperature it was}
How to make Spinach,Tumeric and Potato Fritters:
Prep:20min, Plus resting
Cook:10min
Makes:20
Ingredients:
-300g Sweet Potato, peeled and coarsely grated
-150g Baby Spinach, finely chopped {I don't think that the packet I used was exactly 150 but close enough not to matter}
-3tsp Tumeric
-1 tsp Chilli Flakes {I didn't use these as my sister doesn't like them}
-3 Large Eggs
-100g Plain Flour
-1 tsp Baking Powder
-Salt & Pepper
-Vegetable Oil, for frying
-Sweet Chilli sauce, to serve {I didn't us it as my sister doesn't like it. Although it wouldn't have mattered anyway as she didn't like the Fritters}
Method:
Put the sweet potato,spinach,turmeric,chilli flakes,eggs,flour and baking powder into a large bowl and mix well. Season generously, then leave the batter to rest for 15minutes.{This is where you will make the pie}Pour enough vegetable oil into a large,deep frying pan or saucepan to fill to a depth of about 5cm. Heat the oil over a medium-high heat and bring to a frying temperature (add a pinch of the batter: if it sizzles immediately, the oil is hot enough).Line a plate with a double layer of kitchen paper.When the oi is ready, stir the batter.Using two dessert spoons, form quenelles of the mixture: scoop up the mixture with one spoon and use the other to press down and shape it. {I ended up just using my hands to shape them}. Lower the quenelles into the hot oil and fry in batches, six at a time - it is important not to overcrowd the pan or the temperature of the oil will drop and the fritters will not be crisp. Fry the fritters for one minute, then turn them over and fry for another minute or so, or until nicely browned all over. Using a slotted spoon, {Or the tongs you were using to turn the over} transfer the fritters from the oil onto the paper-lined plate to drain. Serve hot with sweet chilli sauce.

The actual recipe for the food:
Also, you will need to cook some green beans.
First, make the roast potatoes - as seen/read on the 1st recipe
Now, make the fritters up to where I have said 'Now make the pie'
After that, make the pie - as seen/read on the 3rd recipe
Once that's in the oven, put the green beans onto the hob.
Then, continue with the fritters recipe - the frying part.
Finally, serve up your dish after taking it out of the oven obviously
