If you like the shop bought ones these are very similar, but completely without syns - the ones in the shops are quite high in syns.

Potato cakes.

1 packet smash
1 egg yolk
seasoning
Fry light or at least a non-stick tray.
Cling film

Make up smash with as little water as you can get away with. Season, mix in egg yolk, cool in fridge.
Preheat oven to 220 degrees C.
flatten dough onto cling film, fold clingfilm back over itself, so that you are rolling the dough between 2 pieces of cling film. makes it much easier to handle! I had to do this in 3 batches, so a little fiddly. Roll it out to a square or rectangle shape, about 1/2 cm thick.
Spray oven tray with fry light, cut dough into squares, and using a fish slice transfer them onto the tray. Cook for approx 6-10 minutes on first side until set and starting to brown, turn over and repeat.

do not burn your fingers trying to eat them too quickly because you can't wait for them to cool down

These were supposed to be for free pizza bases, but I made one into a pizza and decided I prefered them this way!

this sounds great,,,,we used to make these all time the traditional way with flour and mashed pots. Will give these a go though- probably with mashed potatoes as I cant really get on with smash...I had written off potato cakes so you are my saviour:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

My frylight has nearly run out. I was looking at the fillipp berio oil spray, but has anyone tried putting oil in an empty frylight bottle? It seems so expensive. I am sure I remember Sue Kreitzman recommending making an oil and water spray. Maybe I will google it and see what I can find.

OIL WATER SPRAY
Fill a clean, new plant mister or small plastic scent spray seven eighths with water and one eighth with good oil. To use, just shake and spray. This gives you a light even misting of oil and water (in the heat of cooking the water evaporates, leaving a hint of oil), just enough to do the job. Keep a spray bottle for olive oil, one for sunflower oil, and one for sesame oil (for seasoning Oriental dishes).

Lordy, I use half water half oil!

Definitely a new one then? I bought the last one twice; took the second purchase back to class and gave it to a newcomer as a welcome present! You can tell I read them really closely can't you? I didn't realised I'd read it before until I got to the success stories :rotfl:

I did that too with the Jan/Feb one!! I bought it after Xmas, and then halfway through Jan I saw someone had posted about the 'new magazine' so went out to buy it, didn't notice it was the one I'd already read! Doh. I also passed it on to another SW user.

I just wish it came out monthly, much easier to remember then!

I don't know about the jelly, but as a HEB on green:
42g Philadelphia
57g Philadelphia Light
85g Philadelphia Extra Light
Pretty decent amounts!

I'm glad somebody's mentioned this tonight - I've only got online access to SW (don't go to class) and Philadelphia isn't on any of the Healthy Extra pages - forgive me if I'm wrong

I was starting to think it wasn't allowable

me neither, re the "ready meals". Although, as I don't eat them (I can make up a salad with some freshly cooked fish or potatoes in it in 4 mins, quicker than heating a ready meal ) I shouldn't care! Maman, you could cut back on the cornflour by cooking your meat juices, some water from cooking vegetables (or wine, syns again though) and a stock cube or sprinkling of Marigold stock, and cook it for a few mins until it naturally thickens - hey presto syn free gravy and it tastes lovely! Browned onions as a base are fab too.

Thanks for that br, I suppose I've been a bit hasty and added cornflour rather than waiting for it to reduce. I sometimes add a bit of marmite and a shake of Worcestershire sauce as well as stock powder and vegetable water. I love my gravy!!!

I suppose if you could buy syn free salads it would make it easy to have a snack when out shopping but generally I don't do ready-meals only HM ones:) It did occur to me that huge SW friendly ready meals next to measly WW ones would be good advertising though.;)

If you look at the Healthy Extras for Green, it is there but not under the Philidelphia brand name. I printed it today, and it doesn't yet say 100g of the low fat version.

i do this - i rinsed out my frylight bottle and filled it half and half with water and olive oil - works a treat
