I've got two packets of mini potatoes in the fridge, and two packets of plum tomatoes. What could we buy to go with it / what would you make?

Tray bake with chicken. There are various recipes - Jamie Oliver popular on here www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/chicken-recipes/crispy-sticky-chicken-thighs-with-squashed-new-potatoes-tomatoes/

Slow roast the tomatoes with some garlic, olive oil and balsamic vinegar until slightly caramelised and collapsing. Eat on pasta/couscous with some feta/goats cheese.

I'd just eat the new potatoes as my carbohydrate of choice for however long it takes to use them up.

I put anything and everything in a frittata.
Here’s one for the potatoes www.houseandgarden.co.uk/recipe/new-potato-and-spinach-frittata
And use this for the tomatoes realfood.tesco.com/recipes/breakfast-frittata.html
I also use plum tomatoes in a pesto pasta salad with mozzarella pearls.

Nigella’s salt and vinegar potatoes! I eat them like popcorn, so good and addictive. www.nigella.com/recipes/salt-and-vinegar-potatoes

Roast the tomatoes and blend, a good base for any soup/sauce. Can stick it in the freezer if you don’t want to use it right away.

To use in one dish? I would parboil the potatoes, cut them in half or into slices and then toss them into an ovenproof dish along with the tomatoes, dotting the whole thing generously with butter, and seasoning with salt pepper and thyme. Cook them in the oven until the potatoes are starting to crisp and brown and the tomatoes are collapsing. You could sprinkle some feta or grated parmesan over the top for the last ten mins or serve with an egg or a couple of rashers of bacon (deconstructed English breakfast?). The buttery tomatoey juices will be glorious.

I now want this for tea instead of the stupid boring shepherds pie I've already cooked and is resting waiting to be eaten.

Probably a bit too late but for the mini potatoes, I would have:

  • Saag aloo - just cut potatoes in half or leave them whole if you’re lazy like me - I don’t even peel them
  • Roasted and then cut open and stuffed with cream cheese and chives - sort of like mini jacket potatoes
  • Potato salad - cut half then boiled - I like to have with beetroot and sweetcorn and cucumber

I went for @VikingNorthUtsire super easy and very tasty.

I read about nigella salt and vinegar potatoes on here and have had them a few times, I could eat unlimited quantities Grin
