@*@*@*@ Something new and exciting with potatos please ! @*@*@*@

[Camillathechicken]

making roast chicken for dinner

have loads of potatos

sick of roast, DH does not like mash..

have lots of broccoli, could i do some sort of bake..

inspire me, oh lovely cooking people !

Not sure if it would go with chicken dinner but my dd loves cheesy tatties

Boil tatties as normal then mash with butter and milk but make them wetter than normal, then beat an egg into them and add as much cheese as you like (we use loads of strong cheese) then bake in medium oven until top goes golden.

Even if you don't fancy it with chicken try it sometime. It's great if dc appetite bad after illness

that sounds nice, does it go sort of souffle - ish?

yes with the egg in it it rises a bit.
It is totally scrumptious

In fact with me talking about it i'm gonna go make it now!!!
Hope you enjoy it

thanks, it does sound rather tempting !

Good one we do with ... just about everything

It's an Antonio Carluccio dish, we call it Monks potatoes

Cut potatoes into large wedges
Slice onions
Sprigs of rosemary
Olive oil
Seasoning

Add sliced spuds and onions to a roasting dish, pour over olive oil, add rosemary sprigs, season to taste scrunch all together and roast til tender.

It's lovely with roast chicken

Bake the potatoes. cut chicken up in pieces. slice potatoes in 4 (not through).

throw chicken pieces over potatoe.

Make a cheese sauce - smother potatoe and chicken with cheese sauce.

Gratin dauphinois goes really well with chicken particularly if you put lots of garlic cloves in the chicken

Camilla, you do realise you may be eating one of your relatives

yes, but twas a lovely corn fed organic one, she would have wanted this!

how do i make dauphinoise

or can i slice potato and cover it with grated cheese?

thanks all for the lovely suggestions

have a shufty at This Thread

thank you furball, i see you added one about sliced potatos in milk.. that might be good !

I always have this with roast chicken, it goes perfectly with it.

Sliced onion
lots of garlic
thin-ish sliced green pepper.

Fry in olive oil until soft

Add in par-boiled potato slices and sautee on a medium heat until cooked (about 20 mins).

Gorgeous and not too much faffing.

that alos sounds lovely, but DS will not, under any circumstances, eat onions !

Butter a dish

Thinly slice the spuds

Layer them with grated cheese and crushed garlic

Keep layering till you stop with a layer of cheese and add milk down the side of the dish

The amounts are as follows

1 lb of potatoes ...i am old skool with measurements lol
2 oz grated cheese
1/2 pint of milk

oven 180 or gas 4 for one hour

The nicest spuds ever and kids love them too!

am doing wats's recipe.. will report back later !

Ooh, i hope you like it camilla, do you think if i got a flight now i would be there in time! Wish that i was doing them now!

that would be fun ! you could make it if you really tried

On my way Camilla!!

Right so, missed the flight so have left Camilla to make her own dinner.

Getting nervous, its round about now that the chicken family will be trying the special potatos!
