FRYING roast potatoes...

[GirlCroosh]

DP is doing a roast dinner. And has par boiled and is now FRYING the potatoes. He sees no issue here. I'm 3 months pregnant and nearly cried.

AIBU to be devastated?

Frying potatoes - wtf

You all don't eat fried potatoes? They're a breakfast staple here.

My mum used to parboil then finish off in the chip pan sometimes. They were amazing.

My other half did something similar to me at about 4 months pregnant. I was VERY ANGRY. I cried.

Doesn't sound healthy but does sound tasty!

Just get him to do some fried eggs and bread and butter and that’s tea sorted 😊

Theres a time and a place for fried potatoes, a roast dinner isn't it.

I've never had chip pan roasties. This is shallow fried in a regular frying pan. With no seasoning

And you let this man put his penis in you?!

LTB

I don’t understand
It’s harder work than shoving them in the oven!

Don't really see the problem TBH. Roast potatoes are just big chips

‘Roasties’ used to be deep fried at my school. Yummy.

I used to have these as a child. My mum would slice and fry any left over boiled potatoes. We called them saute potatoes and I loved them. Though not the same as roast potatoes especially done the Delia way that dh likes

Blasphemy

Try before you decide! Yum

YRBU - why cant you eat fried or roast potato when pregnant?

Is there a new rule out about this?

He has been reading the Asda Christmas food mag, they look delish

They do this at some of the cheaper pubs and the greasy spoon type cafes that do roasts. So not unheard of but sounds like more of a faff to do it that way at home.

When I returned from hosp after giving birth, my DH cooked a roast lunch. It was a frozen ready meal microwaved.

I think you've got a much better deal!

But but but it's not the saaaaaaame!!

Fried potatoes with Corned beef, onions and an egg on top. Yes.

With roast chicken, roast veg and sprouts?

Sorry I only read your first post - try them and see you may love them.

As your DP is doing dinner I would sit back and enjoy.

Also remember praise works as better motivator rather than criticism for most people.

Sit back and enjoy being looked after.

DH must be some form of demented beast.

Eeww.

They need roasting in duck fat not frying 🤢

To me it's a cheat's roast. Quick, fairly tasty, less time in the oven. I used to do the same with parsnips & carrots.

Fried/saute spuds are v nice. They are NOT, however, roast potatoes. LTB.
