• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until potatoes are fork tender and slightly crispy. Stir every 10 minutes. When done, sprinkle with cheese. Wait about 5 minutes for the cheese to melt before serving.

SPICY POTATOES

Steps:

• Cover the potatoes in cold salted water, then bring to the boil. Simmer for 5 mins, until just tender. Drain and allow to steam dry for a few mins. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the spices for 1 min until fragrant. Tip in the potatoes and toss well so they are coated in the spices. Gently fry for 5-10 mins until slightly golden, then add peas, mix well and cook for 3-4 mins more. Season well before serving.

FRIED POTATO STRAWS

Steps:

• Pour canola oil into a deep cast-iron skillet to a depth of 2 inches. Heat over high heat to 350 degrees F. Line a plate with paper towels.
• While the oil is heating, lightly scrub the potatoes with a firm brush under running water. Use the fine julienne blade on a mandoline to cut the potatoes. (Alternatively, very thinly slice the potatoes lengthwise. Stack the slices and very thinly slice them lengthwise to make long thin straws.) Rinse the potato straws under cold running water. This rinses off the starch and makes the straws nice and crispy. Pat dry on paper towels.
• Working in batches, fry the potatoes in the oil until golden brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. With a slotted spoon or spider, transfer the straws to the paper towel¿lined plate. Season with salt and pepper immediately and serve.

Drain in a colander, then spread out on several layers of paper towels and pat dry. Transfer potatoes to a large rack to air-dry15 minutes.
• While potatoes are drying, heat oil in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until it registers 375°F on thermometer. Fry potatoes in 8 batches, stirring, until crisp and golden, 45 seconds to 1 minute per batch, transferring with a slotted spoon to dry paper towels to drain and seasoning with salt. Return oil to 375°F between batches.

Fry potatoes in 4 batches, stirring, until golden, 4 to 5 minutes (return oil to 375°F between batches), transferring each batch with a slotted spoon to a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain. While still warm, toss each batch with one fourth of seasoned salt.
