  7. The next day about an hour before serving, preheat the oven to 200°C , then slice the potatoes into eight triangular shaped wedges
  8. Now parboil until you can stick a knife through and it slides off easily.
  9. Dry them off and place onto an oily baking tray. Season well and make sure you cover them in the two tablespoons of olive oil.
  10. Cook the wedges for 30 to 40 mins in the preheated oven.
  11. Wash and peel the carrots
  12. With a peeler turn the carrots into thin strips.
