Tinned potatoes...

[Firstdateshotel]

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

It’s a no from me, never liked them.

Chuck them in hot oil and they're great quick roasties

@RazorSharp yes pink I think .

Amazing in the slow cooker in a curry. Or a frittata.

No! That's all I'm saying.

Perfect camping food I do tinned potatoes, tinned ratatouille and lentils great one pot dinner.

Nothing beats little fresh New Potatoes.
Warm with a touch of butter and parsley.

I use them when I'm camping to make corned beef hash. With tinned peas and carrots. I do push the boat out and fry a real fresh onion though.

@ButForTheGrace

2 tins sliced and fried with onions, whack in a tin of chopped corned beef, serve with a fried egg, baked beans and think slices of bread and butter. A staple camping meal for our family

Oh yes this is delicious 😋

Might try them in a curry or as bombay potato.

Remind me of my grans dinners

I recall one of the TV chefs - Nigella Lawson maybe? - raving about them too.

I hate them but DH likes them. Actually bought some today as back in the office 2 days a week and a quick meal for him to make himself. He works shifts . Has with cooked beef and some veg.

They are also ideal for making this

I'd never had them until a sunday lunch at my aunt's when about 8 or 9. Mum said she could have killed me for the face I pulled and saying "what the heck are these??!".

@AuntLydiasNewHairdo

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.

If she was anything like mine it went in a vol au vent.

I haven’t had tinned potatoes for decades but I remember hating them. Nasty texture and somewhat slimy

They remind me of childhood camping holidays.

So instead of buying potatoes and preparing them, you take a detour via the food processing and packaging industries?

@Mull

They are IMMENSE in a curry! I’ve tried with other potatoes but they disintegrate.

YES!!! I bloody love them. And tinned carrots!

@pigsDOfly

Really? Well they must have changed somewhat since I last had them, admittedly, some years ago.

Tasteless and watery, with an odd sort of texture somewhere between soggy and hard - difficult to explain, but not a good thing - and bearing absolutely no relationship to 'real' potatoes.

Now this is what I remember them being like but it seems we both might need to be brave and try them again!! @KhoshkaKatya recipe sounds quite delicious 😋

@Prokupatuscrakedatus

I do both. FFS.

Particularly delicious if fried on a camping trip!

I refuse to try them. I was once as a kid given meatballs from a can 🤮. So when I've seen potatoes in a tin my mind goes straight to them for some strange reason.

@sluj

Never mind tinned potatoes, I have been fantasising about tinned cream. Anyone remember that?

OMG. I loved that stuff. And I'd prefer it to fresh even now if I could get it. The 'tinny' element made it less fatty and claggy somehow. And the thickness...

Can anyone recommend what brand of tinned potatoes is best please (or what to avoid)? Or are they all much of a muchness?

I love them sliced and fried. Yum . I must buy some.
