Wash 500 grams of potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half or quarters so that they all have the same size. Put the potatoes in boiling water and cook them for 3 min in a covered pot. Drain the potatoes and steam them dry. Add one tablespoon of olive oil, one table spoon of HP Sauce (brown sauce), a pinch of salt and pepper and turn around, so it is well blended. Spread the potatoes on a plate lined with baking paper.

Fish

Rinse and dry two fish fillets and put them in a small ovenproof dish. In a small bowl mix one tablespoon of flour with 50 ml of cream. Spread cream mixture over the fish and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
