These crispy golden potato fritters are one of my go to weeknight dinners because they come together in just 30 minutes from start to finish. I love how simple they are to make with just a few basic ingredients you probably have on hand already. The best part is topping them with creamy avocado and a fried egg, which gives you healthy fats and protein to keep you satisfied. They're wonderfully versatile too, so feel free to swap in soured cream for Greek yogurt if you prefer, or add fresh herbs to the batter. Trust me, once you make these, they'll become a regular in your kitchen rotation.

Grate the potatoes and onion on a coarse box grater. Wrap in a clean tea towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Transfer to a large bowl and mix in the flour and plenty seasoning. Stir in the egg.

Heat a little of the oil in a large non stick frying pan. Use 2-3 tbsp of the mix per fritter and drop into the pan, cooking for 3-4 mins on each side over a medium-high heat, using a spatula to turn. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper and continue with the remaining oil and mixture (it's best to cook in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan).

Butter bean curry
This butter bean curry is one of my go to weeknight dinners when I want something satisfying but don't have hours to spend cooking. The whole thing comes together in under an hour, and butter beans are incredibly affordable and packed with fiber, keeping you full for ages. I love how versatile it is too, with the warming spices and creamy beans balanced by fresh coriander and a zingy banana and cucumber raita on the side. It's genuinely delicious, feels a bit fancy, but honestly couldn't be simpler.

Air fryer roast beef joint
You know what surprised me most about making roast beef in the air fryer? How incredibly quick and simple it is. This method cuts your cooking time in half compared to a traditional oven, and honestly, the results are just as impressive. The beauty of beef is that it's packed with iron and B vitamins, which are essential for energy and overall health. With just a handful of pantry staples and five minutes of prep, you'll have a stunning, tender roast that's perfect for a weeknight dinner or impressing guests without the fuss.

Ultimate roast potatoes
After years of experimenting, I've finally cracked the code for roast potatoes that are impossibly crispy on the outside and fluffy within. The secret is using duck fat, which contains oleic acid, a heart healthy monounsaturated fat that's actually good for you. What I love most is how simple this really is: just potatoes, fat, flour, and salt. From prep to plate in just over an hour, you'll have restaurant quality results without any fuss. Trust me, once you try these, you'll never go back.
