Gently pour over the hot stock and milk mixture
Bake in the oven on 180 for about an hour, leave to rest for ten minutes or so before serving, slice into squares and use a fish slice to lift each portion out

Hasselbacks are fun but a lot more of work, worth trying once.

I frequently do this, peel and boil potatoes until juuust underdone. Drain and put back in the pan. Add garlic, a slosh of cream and seasoning and a slug of butter/olive oil. Toss and crush slightly with a fork. Tip into a baking dish and roast for 20 minutes until it browns up.

I roasted a chicken last week with olive oil lemon oregano and other herbs. I then placed sliced potatoes which had been par boiled for 3 minutes in the ‘juice’, cooked them in the oven while the chicken rested, and they were yummy.

@mumandmumber both on my list! Thanks!

@TheCurious0range definitely doing this, thanks for the recipe, sounds yummy!!

@Cerialkiller never done hasselbacks, definitely on my list!
Ooh love that recipe there, im trying that thank you!

@bungobungobungo now I fancy a roast chicken lol, ooh sounds yummy thank you!

Saag aloo (spinach and potato curry) or Bombay potatoes
Spanish omelette
Potato salad (this is my favourite recipe https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/next-level-potato-salad)
Loaded potato nachos - I use a recipe from Bosh

I boil them, then cube them, fry off in a bit of oil in a frying pan then add a homemade garlic butter. DD loves them. Don’t have them like this too often.

Roast them but with whatever herb/spice combo you like.

If I’m doing them for the kids it’ll be something like garlic powder, onion powder and dried herbs but for adults I tend to use more spice. If you aren’t confident the pre mixed spice packs are great for this

Bombay potatoes
or a potato salad with finely chopped gherkins and crispy bacon

I always add more potato to these that the listed amount and you can replace/add the runner beans with peas. I found it when trying to use up a glut of runner beans last summer.

Big fan of the Queen of Potatoes, Poppy O’Toole - her lemon potatoes with feta are divine.
