The Not So Humble Spud

Winter is fast approaching and the humble spud is ready to come alive, from mash, roasties to potatoe cakes.

As it is so versatile, what is your favourite potatoe recipe

For me getting the right variety of potato is all important to the results. For creamed potatoes it has to be King Edwards
cooked till soft/dried off/ mashed then beaten with butter, warm milk,black pepper and lots of freshly picked chopped chives.

King Edwards also work well for sauted potatoes with garlic and rosemary.

Re: The Not So Humble Spud

The dish you are making definitely depends on the type of spud you use as some will go down to watery mush.

One of my warming winter dishes that I enjoy is Corn beef Hash. Inexpensive as you can make it to size to suit you and very tasty.

Can't beat a roast potato or a rosti with a fried egg on top yum

Me too Patsy. It's the food I'd miss most if it disappeared off the face of the earth.

So true Patsy and Alan. Potatoes make real comfort food. On a winters day Sausage and mash is the most cuddly dish I know.(apart from stew and dumplings)

Re: The Not So Humble Spud

Potatoes are such a good staple for most meals.

Love roasties, dauphinoise or I love my potato and onion dish, my hubby usually asks when I am going to make it which is always a good sign.

Re: The Not So Humble Spud

It is just something that I throw together, I slice the potatoes and onions and then layer them in a dish, one row potato one row onion finishing with a row of potato, put spices of your choice inbetween the layers, I use pepper and Italian seasoning (or sometimes other seasoning if I pick up the wrong jar) and pour over 1/4 pint of stock, put in the over until cooked and the stock has nearly gone.

It is a simple dish to have with sausages.
