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.

I have no problem with double or triple carbing and my mum always did both and sometimes boiled as well, we probably all had different favourites. Ah well, I forced them all down!

My DH is Irish and our first Xmas in Ireland our dinner had mash, roasties AND croquettes!! I was stuffed for weeks...

Oh and her roast is:
3 types of potato
3 types of veg
Two meats
Yorkshire puddings
Stuffing

She's ace. But it's spoilt us, I've had a few different ones and they've been disappointing

Northern and yes my mum does mash and roasts. When we were kids we used to have potato croquettes on Christmas dinner as well.

I only do roast except at Christmas then I do roast and mashed and boiled.

North/South divide I reckon
I had never seen mash on a roast dinner until I moved North

That's weird to me. Only roast potatoes.

And Yorkshire pudding with roast beef only

Roast potatoes, roast parsnips, steamed greens, Yorkshires if I remember, mashed swede if I am feeling mashy!

I am Northern, none of my family have mash and roast potato with their Sunday lunch.

I think it is a big or fussy family thing. Potatoes to match the preferences of all the family becomes a Sunday habit.

Mash is the food of the gods, why limit its use?

We do both, don't know whether it's a Northern Ireland thing or what but I've never seen a roast dinner with just roast potatoes

We just did! But largely because one dd only eats mash and one only eats roasties.

Yes, I'm Northern, and do have them both.

Mash with roasties is weird and wrong. Unless it is Christmas and the mash is composed of carrot and swede.

Never, sounds grim

Yorkshire pudding can be served with any roast meat...

Roast and mash all the way! Not a proper roast without both!

With Christmas Dinner - absolutely!

For a normal Sunday dinner I probably wouldn't bother doing both

Northern here and both my mum and nana used to do both.

Now I'm queen of the roasts in the family and I refuse. A roast potato is a beautiful thing, why try and steal it's glory by adding another (far inferior) potato to the plate.

Only roast potatoes here but when we were growing up we always had cheese sauce on a roast as well as gravy. DH thinks it's an abomination and I admit it's unnecessary excess calories but it's so delicious!

I do and maybe boiled potatoes as well. In fact I'm doing mash and roasties right now.

I like some mashed swede on there as well.

*new boiled potatoes

Also Northern Irish and absolutely both

We are northern and My mum does mash and roasts, I love it when we go there. I can't be bothered to do both though and my husband thinks there's too much potato at my mums

Both here!
