I shove most the veg in oven also.

Potatoes par boiled, thrown in oven. I same oven dish throw a few other root veg and red onions.

Leave 30 mins

Then throw in some meat also that's pan fried 5 mins first to brown. Leave whole lot 45ish mins.

Eat

If I feel particularly fancy, I'll make a white sauce for the cauliflower cheese. But I'm normally half cut by that point.

I'm northern and my mum does meat (normally chicken and gammon, big family) , stuffing, Yorkshires, two types of veg, Yorkshire puddings toasties and either mash or new potatoes. I hate mash so don't have that if its there. There's always loads of gravy, pickles, pickallily and a few.condiments about to. She adds roasted parsnips, pigs in blankets and sprouts at Christmas x

I meant roasties, even by our standards a toasties with the rest would be a bit much Grin

I would say not both, and traditionally the potatoes would be roast; but you could have mashed swedes - or another vegetable (other than potatoes) mashed.

It's not a proper roast dinner unless there's some mashed carrot and parsnip.

I do two types of potatoes. Everyone loves rosaries except me so I do boiled or mash for me. Although mash would only be if we were having chicken, never with beef.

I just went out and had a roast purely because of this thread. Just roasts though, no mash and roast!

Lots of left over mash and roasties plus veg make another meal next day .
Bubble and Sqeak is very nice indeed and thrifty . Love it.

Only roast spuds, but mashed carrot and parsnip. And roast parsnip. But never, ever roast carrots.

Did roast pork today, with roasties AND mash, seasoned with garlic. It was very nice indeed.

They serve mash at most Carvery restaurants so it's obviously a thing.
