Directions:

Potato Wedges - Step 1

Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Cut each half lengthwise again. If the wedges are too wide, cut them in half lengthwise one more time.

Potato Wedges - Step 2

In a large pot, add water and salt, and bring it to a boil. Add the potato wedges into the pot. Once boiling, turn off the heat, and let sit in the water for 5 minutes. Drain then rinse them with cold water in a colander for another 5 minutes.

Potato Wedges - Step 3

Transfer the potatoes to a large pan. Add the corn starch and gently toss to coat the potatoes.

Potato Wedges - Step 4

In a large skillet, heat 1/2 cup oil. Once shimmering, add the potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Flip to the other side and cook another 5 minutes or until golden brown. Flip to the third side and cook another 5 minutes or until golden brown. Season with salt when it's hot.

Flatbread - Step 1

In a large mixing bowl whisk together water, yeast, and sugar; set aside for 8 to 10 minutes, or until foamy. Whisk in the olive oil and salt. Add flour and stir everything together with a wooden spoon until dough comes together. Cover and rest until the volume doubled in size.

Flatbread - Step 2

Generously sprinkle flour over your work-area and turn dough onto the floured surface; turn to coat and then knead for 4 minutes. Sprinkle more flour if the dough is sticky while kneading. Cut dough into 7 equal pieces and form each piece into a small ball. Lightly sprinkle each dough ball with flour; cover them with a kitchen towel and let stand for 15 minutes.

Flatbread - Step 3

Preheat a frying pan over medium-low heat. Take one of the dough balls and, using a rolling pin, roll it out to about a 7-inch circle.

Flatbread - Step 4

When the pan is hot, pick up the rolled out dough and place it in the pan, and cook for about 1 ½ minutes, or until the top surface is covered with bubbles. Flip the flatbread and cook for 1 more minute, or until golden on the bottom. Remove from pan and transfer to a plate; keep cooked flatbreads covered with a kitchen towel while working with the rest of the dough. Repeat the process with the remaining balls of dough.
