To think you have mash AND roast potatoes with a roast dinner?

[Babysafari]

I've always had both as well as meat and veggies, dh thinks you don't.

[ItMustBeBedtimeSurely]

No. Unless you want to, but it's definitely not traditional.

[Friolero]

I would never have mash with a roast dinner, just roast potatoes

[NoCakeLeft]

I don't see, why would you need both?

[MeganChips]

My mum has always done both, DH's family didn't.

I don't bother with 2, it's either/or.

[ArmySal]

I do too (greedy).

[vinoandbrie]

Only roasties in this house.

BUT, if I were at someone else's and they had both, I'm sure I could find space for some mashed potatoes as well 😊

[MatildaTheCat]

Mashed swede for me, please.

[DustyBustle]

No.
Weirdo

[sue51]

Only roast or baked not mash.

[CreepyPasta]

Roasties and new potatoes here

[Artandco]

No, you never double carb. Especially the Same carb

[228agreenend]

My mum always does this.

[Scarydinosaurs]

Mashed carrots or sweet potato or swede YES

Mashed potatoes and roast parsnips YES

Mashed potatoes and roast potatoes NO

[Porcupinetree]

YABU mashed potato is disgusting...

[AndNowItsSeven]

Yes of course you have both.

[Babysafari]

What do you all have on your roasts?

My mum always did both types as did everyone I knew so we'd have the meat, roasts, mash, veggies and perhaps stuffing or Yorkshire puddings too.

You don't need both but they're so nice!

Dhs mum never did both but now they've come round to my way of thinking and they always do both.

[Captainkanga]

Yes to both!

Unless you're my mum who does roasts, mash AND boiled Charlotte potatoes, full choice of veg, two meats and both stuffing and Yorkshire puddings irrespective of what the meats are.

Bloody love it!

[KoalaDownUnder]

No. One kind of potato only. (Roasted, cos it's a roast.)

[MrsDoylesTeaParty]

My mum does mash, roasts and potato croquettes. It's a triple carb coma!
It's a huge pyramid shaped plate of food but only once every few months. When I start doing a roast when the kids are a bit older I'll be sensible and have one type. Maybe.

[Babysafari]

Ah but you don't roast all your vegetables, do you? We only roast certain veg and steam the rest so that logic doesn't work.

[CantChoose]

Never. But I have friends who do. They are all northern originally, is it a regional thing?

[RaspberryOverload]

My mum is the only person I know who does both.

I never do. Roasties only.

[Balletgirlmum]

Sometimes we have mash & roasts & boiled.

[RiverTam]

Never ever mash with a roast. We sometimes had boiled and roasties, but never mash. Mash is with sausages.

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

No of course not.
