DS17 declared it odd. Shock
I told.him it's delicious and he doesn't know anything. Grin

No roasties for him, ungrateful git

I suppose it's not what you would usually get with a casserole but I don't see the problem with it either Grin

TheresOnlyOneJackieWeaver · 08/02/2021 16:28

Yum! My idea of a lovely meal.
Two nights ago I cooked chicken casserole with roasties so YANBU!

No problem. You eat his if he is grumbling.
Roasties go with anything.

Belledan1 · 08/02/2021 16:32

Sounds lovely. We love roasties. I do them with pork chops and beans too

MiltonRoad · 08/02/2021 16:33

Dumplings or mash would be preferred here, I'd eat homemade roasties with it though

Don’t you know that teenagers are experts on everything?

LunaNorth · 08/02/2021 16:34

What’s he making instead, then?

I'd obviously eat roasties - never turned down a roastie. But somehow mash or new potatoes seem more fitting.

Though oddly a chip seems less odd than roasties.

TheHamsterCatcher · 08/02/2021 16:36

Roast potatoes are perfectly acceptable.

Just always.

Seeline · 08/02/2021 16:36

I often do roasties with beef casserole. No complaints in this house 😆

bloodyhairy · 08/02/2021 16:36

Ooh, nice! I'd probably prefer mash with that, but would never ever ever turn down a roast tattie!

Mrsjayy · 08/02/2021 16:37

Ah bless him Grin Roast potatoes go with Anything imo.

Mrsjayy · 08/02/2021 16:38

I'm having roasties today with gammon steak I can't wait.

TheFoz · 08/02/2021 16:38

YABU. Mash is the only possible acceptable accompaniment.

0blio · 08/02/2021 16:39

I always have roasties with beef casserole, and yorkshire puddings.

isseys4xmastinselcats · 08/02/2021 16:39

roast potatoes go with most meals

Sauvblanca · 08/02/2021 16:40

Sounds lovely. Loads of things go with casserole, roast potatoes included. Dauphinoise is a favourite here..

New potatoes?! Are you an actual sociopath....?
katy1213 · 08/02/2021 16:42

I wouldn't say no - but I'm having a baked potato with my casserole tonight.

CMOTDibbler · 08/02/2021 16:42

I wouldn't serve it, but wouldn't be massively offended. But I like mash, or even plain boiled potatoes to soak up the lovely casserole gravy

lynxca16 · 08/02/2021 16:42

Love a roast potato with anything:))

CroutonsAvatar · 08/02/2021 16:45

Just meat, veg and gravy, isn’t it? So not dissimilar make up to a roast. I do roast potatoes with chicken chasseur from time to time. Sometimes mash just seems like too much effort to me.

DrWankincense · 08/02/2021 16:45

Perfect, I'll have his Grin.
Mash goes too sloppy with casserole, bleugh.

isitjustlockdown · 08/02/2021 16:45

I normally default to mash, but roast potatoes would go just as well I think.

Roasties are fabulous alongside anything .... including more roasties!
