- To make potato wedges, line baking dish with baking paper. Toss wedges in fat of your choice, oregano, smoked paprika and seasoning.
- Arrange on tray in single layer and bake for 20–30 mins or until crispy and cooked through.
- To make Spanish eggs, melt butter or ghee in saucepan over moderate heat. Cook chorizo for a few mins until crispy. Add garlic and red onion and cook for a few more mins until onion begins to soften.
