I put them in a stew with leftover meat and roast veg.

Oh dear it's too early. I thought you meant someone left you over some bad roast potatoes. I am clearly on MN too much.

Dontfuckingsaycheese · 07/03/2023 06:30

Freeze em!

squishee · 07/03/2023 06:32

Back in the oven with garlic, salt and lemon juice (Greek potatoes). Or just as they are

AlisonDonut · 07/03/2023 06:41

Slice them, fry with onions and peppers, whisk some egg, pour over, grate cheese over the top and pop under the grill.

I just 'chop' them so they are a bit smaller and fry them in a little butter and oil and they do as the 'potato' part of Mondays tea! I usually do extra so I have enough for this!

fruitpastille · 07/03/2023 06:45

Eat them cold late at night. Ideally with some mayo.

Moomoola · 07/03/2023 06:50

Make them into Cullen skink

CherryogDog · 07/03/2023 06:51

I slice and fry them, maybe have them with a fried breakfast.
But @AlisonDonut 's recipe sounds delicious!

GCAcademic · 07/03/2023 06:52

Eat them cold as a snack. They never taste good reheated.

ODFOx · 07/03/2023 06:53

Turn them intoBombay potatoes.

Or roast potato soup:
Sweat some shallots in butter, add chopped roast potatoes, add stock, cook for a few minutes to warm through and blitz. Season to taste. Finish with double cream and snipped chives.

Freeze them, you can recook from frozen in 30 mins next time you have a roast. No additional fat needed. Often better second time around!

Me too! I wondered how she had messed up roast potatoes so that somebody wanted to leave her.

I have never had left over roast potatoes. Ever. Doesn’t matter how many I make, my 4 dc will eat them. And then whinge that I haven’t made enough. And I never knowingly undercater.

daffodilandtulip · 07/03/2023 07:24

All you Delia Smiths ... what's wrong with just eating them cold before bed Grin

AlisonDonut · 07/03/2023 07:31

I used to make extra just to have them cold, or hatedbup, dunked in a bit of left over gravy that I'd also make extra of.

But my OH got wind and used to scoff them when i wasnt looking so I dish them all up now and if I have left overs they are mine to do with what I want as they were on my plate.

When I'd go to family lunches they'd ask '2 or 3 roasts' and I'd be like...'erm...10?' in my defense I haven't eaten meat since 1984 so I need roast potatoes to make it worthwhile.

benten54 · 07/03/2023 07:46

Bubble and squeak without cabbage obviously. Slice them up fry with butter and any other left over veg

This is us too. Left over roast potatoes?! Completely alien concept 😁

MrsMontyD · 07/03/2023 08:55

I'd leave them to one side to cool to go into the fridge but it's unlikely they'd make it, if they did they'd be grazed directly from the fridge cold.

threecupsofteaminimum · 07/03/2023 09:35

I read that as you'd been left, over some roast potatoes!

I came on to ask what was so bad about them Grin

Cookerhood · 07/03/2023 09:40

Left over roasties? No such thing in this house 🤣

MermaidEyes · 07/03/2023 09:43

Who are all these strange people who have left over roast potatoes?!

Babdoc · 07/03/2023 10:24

My younger DD managed to eat fourteen roast potatoes last Christmas. Leftovers are a purely theoretical concept in my house!

BlueChampagne · 07/03/2023 10:39

Soup - along with any other leftovers and the gravy - yum!
Have to cook shedloads to have leftover roasties in my house.

This but without the mayo!
