"had a jacket potato. Warmed me all through. It was like having a little radiator inside me."

This made laugh @HelenaWilson 😀, it's so true though! Potatoes warm you up right through, such a comfort food. I love potatoes❤️

Where do we stand on tinned potatoes? Dp bought a few tins of them for reasons he's never explained other than that they were there, so I've taken to frying them in butter, like mini roasties. Work pretty well.

I saw some SM video about tinned spuds done in the air fryer that came out amazing.

No air fryer here, but i might recommended them to FiL if so, as that's his main way of cooking these days, thanks.

That crunch of a perfect roastie is my favourite.
sadly Mounjaro ruined my love of mash, dauphinoise and tartiflette --- can't stomach squishy food, weird but I was morbidly obese and am not now!

I've found my people 🥔 ❤️!

Yorkshire ones tend to be flatter patties (and not as nice) whereas the Scouse ones tend to be more like a deep fried tennis ball full of sagey goodness in a crispy batter.

I love potato dishes. I got banned from Netmums after getting into an argument because I bought McCain frozen backed potatoes 🤣

Bubble and squeak is heaven on a plate.

Best bit of boxing day.

DH doesn't really like mash. He tolerates it sometimes because I like it but would never choose it.
He's not in tomorrow night, guess what I'm having 😛

I think they’re my favourite food.

I’m in Tenerife at the moment, and have discovered Canarian potatoes. I’ll be recreating them as soon as I get home.

Mine doesn't like butter. I think this is why he thinks he doesn't like mash.

You can make it with olive oil, or milk, although it really needs butter.

Tinned potatoes. Chicken stock made double strength. Marinade potatoes in stock. Toss in oil. Air fry or roast . Delicious!

Ah, in Spain I always go for patatas bravas.

Are they the same as potato fritters? Sliced potato dipped in batter and fried (yes, I am in Scotland). If so absolute heaven in a buttered bread roll.

Mash with cheese and chives

Love potatoes. I can't think of one way they're prepared that I don't enjoy. King of vegetables 🥔 🥔 🥔

Are you Claudia Winkleman?

Mash is the best!
mash and gravy and turnip is the ultimate comfort food

Absolutely love potatoes, but have to have fat with them, whether cooked in it or/and added and therein lies the problem. 🙈🙈

Ooh….

Or butter and double cream…

All you potato fans need this book, "In praise of the potato":
