Thanks

My youngest likes his potatoes chopped into cubes, tossed with olive oil and rosemary and roasted in the oven.

We also make potato wedges the same way but without the rosemary.

Thanks hopefully everyone will keep the recipes coming, I will try this one.
Thanks

the majority of folk I know like the good old British chip (or what the Americans call French fries) they never fail to please.
Does any one know what the French call them ?? ;)

This is a nice easy one.

Potato casserole

Ingredients:



6 potatoes, cooked and mashed
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup sour cream
1 bunch green onions (6 to 8), chopped
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup melted butter

Preparation:

Directions for potato casserole
Lightly butter a 2-quart casserole. In a large bowl, combine potatoes, salt, sour ream, green onions, and Cheddar cheese; spoon into casserole. Pour butter over top of potatoes; bake at 425° for 25 minutes, or until potato casserole is nicely browned.

When you make your mashed potatoes
then stir in some grated cheese till it melts then just a splash of milk and mix it all together.
If you like onions you can buy the ready diced ones.
place with a wee touch of oil into the microwave and cook. then once done you can add them to your creamy cheese potatoes and enjoy

Nice to see your education wasn`t wasted Bob.

OH loves his dry tatties, kerrs pinks a fabourite, but I usually add mint jelly, cranberry, apple sauce, mango chutney or plum sauce to disguise the taste depending on what we are having with it.

When in Rome I loved their version of roast potatoes with salted olive oil, garlic pepper and rosemary.

How about Stuffed Baked Potatoes?

Bake some potatoes, then cut in half and scoop out the pulp and mash with yoghurt, butter, milk, rice or soya milk, and add salt and pepper. Then add whatever you fancy, for example, onions, cheese, chopped bacon, individually or combined. Then stuff the mixture back into the potato jackets, and place back in 450 oven for 15 mins.

I don't know what it's called but lightly boil some potatos, slice and lay in a dish, cover with savoury sauce, onion, cheese, whatever you fancy, grate some cheese on top and finish in the oven.

This one blows your daily amount of calories in one go but once in a while it does no harm.

Boil enough potatoes for 4 people and towards the end add 2 sliced onions to the water. When ready drain.

Grease an oven proof dish (oblong is best), slice the pots and lay them in the dish along with the onions. Pour over 2 tubs (not the small ones but the next size up) of single cream and bake in a medium over for 45 minutes to 1 hour until nice and golden. Simply delicous.

Potato salad? Although everyone seems to have a different way of making it...

[skinnydog]

Potato salad, of course, I love it. I mix may and salad cream together and that works a treat.

COLCANNON

500g/1lb2oz mealy potatoes, cooked
250g/9oz cabbage, shredded and lightly steamed
2 tbsp cream
salt and black pepper
1 large or 2 small onions, sliced

Sieve or mash the potatoes and mix with the cabbage and cream. Season well with salt and pepper.
Fry the onion in the fat over a moderate heat until it is soft and beginning to brown.
Using a spatula, press half the potato and cabbage mixture in an even layer on to the onion and fry for 4-5 minutes until it is well browned and crispy underneath.
Cut the mixture into 4 quarters with the spatula or palette knife and turn them over carefully so that the crispy bit is uppermost. Press the remaining potato and cabbage mixture on to the first layer and after a few more minutes, cut and turn again.
When the bottom is again browned, you will have a crispy top too, a crispy bottom, and a crispy layer in the middle.

Hmmm, dunno - Googling yours (http://images.google.co.uk/images?gbv=2&hl=en&safe=off&ei=o63wSZCsFYLV-Aar57ilDw&sa=X&oi=spell_reissue&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=croustilles+de+pommes+de+terre&spell=1) shows a weird assortment of things, not resembling chips! Think I'll stick with Pommes Frites - at least they look like the real deal :lol:

I used to love the scottish slimmers recipe of:

Make a baked potato as normal. Cut it in half.

Grill a couple of rashers of bacon, chop some spring onion, grate some cheese.

Chop the bacon into little bits

Carefully take the potato from the jacket, put in a bowl with the bacon, spring onion and cheese (ensuring potato still hot)

Then place back into the jackets of the potato. Sprinkle some cheese on top and put under grill for a few mins.

YUM!

Sounds alot of work but it does not take long to pile together! And they taste just lovely! Obviously you can add any other ingredients that you like! :Razz

[EDDIE]

What about mashed tatties with a tin of beans,tin of cornbeef and a tin of sweet corn allmixed in together with the tatties i have that sometimes i like it

[Bobinovich]

That sounds very much like a recipie for a noxious gaseous explosion Eddie :eek:.

Having just written up on the "potato slice" thread, another potato favourite amongst our crowd was "hassleback potatoes" (no, not Hasselhoff, that would be icky..)
Take a potato and thinly slice all the way along its length, but don't cut all the way through. So you have a spud with lots of little cuts down it.
Take some crushed garlic and chopped parsley and softened butter (not marg!!), blend together and rub this over the spud, forcing some of the herby garlicky butter into the grooves.
Cook in the oven for about 30 mins (depending on the spud size). Sprinkle with some sea salt afterwards.
Brilliant with a nice rump steak and a glass of red.

Colcannon is a good one and goes with everything!

One I do is to get baby potatoes and quarter them, add a jar of Scala aubergine pesto, diddy tomatoes and some chopped up choriso. Cover with tinfoil and bake in the oven at 200 for about 30 mins (long enough for caramelisation to start).

It's bl**dy gorgeous!
