Tinned potatoes...

[Firstdateshotel]

I've recently discovered tinned potatoes... Aibu to say they are deeeeelicious????

MMmmmmmmmmm !! Does that answer your question ? Really versatile -cut them up for traybakes, roast them for a quick meal and just empty them into a pan when you’re looking for something quick. Lovely.

I have never in my life had one (or really even seen a tin) but this is the second online board that has mentioned them in the last week! I may have to start looking and try them. The other board mentioned how good they are in a curry too.

I love them! Fab as a last minute addition to meals too like curry, omelette etc to bulk it up.

Yes! Although I think they are gross just heated up.
Amazing in a curry or casserole. After reading this may have to try frying/roasting!!!

M&S lamb Rogan Josh in a tin was popular when I was a kid. Don't think they fo it now. I have several tins of M&S mince in onion gravy in the lockdown larder, good for cottage pie.

I love them too.

Think it’s time to buy shares in tinned new potatoes 😂

I was a poor eater as a child but when we went camping mum used to heat up tinned beef stew with tinned potatoes and I wolfed it down .
They’re also delicious in a corned beef hash.

They are an absolute game-changer in the slow-cooker, which in my opinion never really cooks potatoes terribly well!

Don't they just fall apart ? My potatoes are always lovely in the slow cooker, cut them big and leave the skin on.

I'm happy to say after seeing this thread tonight's dinner is fish, rocket salad and roasted tinned potatoes with olive oil, thyme, parsley and salt and pepper... Absolutely delicious.

Do M&S still do that chicken in white sauce? Fond memories but for the life of me I can't remember what my mother did with it.

Yes, it's great on rice or pasta.

I’ve never tried them, maybe I will now. I’m excited!

On caravan holiday I remember a whole chicken in a can! Sounds disgusting and as an adult doubt I'd even try it but as I recall at time it tasted pretty good.

I first heard about these when I was doing a fast, they are so low in calories and you can just roast them in a tiny bit of oil. Still nothing like proper roast potatoes but I was pleasantly surprised how good they were!

@userxx there's not much that makes a tinned potato fall apart tbh.

Havnt eaten any since I was a child but I remember them being ok. I had a couple of tins of them when we first went into lockdown as back ups but never ate them. My elderly neighbour went mad for them when I gave them to her.

I love tinned potatoes and have a couple of cans in the cupboard for when I'm short on time.

Really? Bomb proof potatoes, will give them a go next time 👍

@EvilPea

I got so excited when I saw some in tesco.

Dh was just confused

Yep, that's what I've got in the fridge.

I’ve never tried them but I’ll be buying some when next at the shops!

Gross. I’d only eat them if I was starving, and I don’t mean just really hungry, I mean if I was scavenging for food in a post-apocalyptic scenario. As another poster mentioned, Idahoan packet mash on the other hand… yum!

How can you say that? They are disgusting, anyway they are used.

I love tinned potatoes. Fried in butter with salt and pepper. My husband thinks it is strange, but we grew up travelling/camping and this was our go to staple.

YANBU - they have their place, I had some in my ongoing store cupboard before lockdown and was mighty happy to have them, just need a bit of imagination to make them tasty, bit that's true of most ordinary spuds

They're great to make Bombay potatoes with but give them a rinse under the tap first, the water they're in tastes a bit "tinny"
