- Preheat the oven to 180/160 fan.
- Wash and slice potatoes lengthways, add to a pan of salted water and cook until tender.
- Drain the potatoes and add all the spices to the pan, including the onions, combining well and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Place the mix in a large roasting dish with the olive oil and peas, ensuring to coat all the potatoes with the oil.
- Roast in the oven for 20-30 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown.
- Serve as a side dish, but remember to set aside half for the toastie samosa.

The Toastie:
- Put the leftover potato mix into a small bowl.
- Add the tomato puree, curry powder, chilli powder and water to the bowl and use a knife to chop the large potatoes to break them down into small pieces. A fork can also be used to help mash them. Stir well and set aside.
- Cut the crusts off the slices of bread and use a rolling pin to flatten them down to a thin pastry like square.
- Spoon the mix onto the middle of the rolled sliced bread, pressing down as much as you can and leaving a gap all around the edges.
- Use a little water around the inside edges of the bread, then place another slice on top and press down to help seal the edges.
- Brush both sides of the samosa's with a little olive oil, or melted butter if preferred.
- Place a samosa in a Dualit sandwich cage and toast on a medium setting. Keep an eye on the toasting process; the samosa turn a light golden brown.
- Remove and serve while hot.

Top tips:
- If you don't have a sandwich cage, brush each samosa with olive oil and place on a baking sheet in the oven or under the grill until lightly toasted.
- Filo pastry and puff pastry can also be used in place of the bread.
- Great for meat free picnic snack and taste just as good cold.
-
Do not leave any electrical appliances unattended and always switch off after use.
- See Dualit's cleaning tips for cleaning toasters and removing full crumb trays.
