Favourite potato recipes please

[RacingSnake]

DH has been harvesting in the polytunnel and has brought home several sacks of potatoes and a washing basket full of broken/ stabbed potatoes which need using up quickly.

Tonight we had potato dumplings in lamb stew, last night we had fried potatoes with fish - has anyone got any favourite recipies to use up the glut? Preferably high potato content ones.

1 - potato cakes yummmmm - delish with bacon. Can make a heap and then freeze them too.

2 - fish pie!! - can also be frozen.

3 - why not boil a heap of urgently-to-be-used ones and freeze or donate them to family/friends?

OK, I am sounding like the freezer queen . But we end up with a ton of fruit and veg at one time of the year, and like you we have to figure out how best to use or preserve, pretty quick

Didn't know you could freeze potato cakes. Freezer nearly full so not allowing any shopping for fresh ingredients!

If you have a roast then Boulangere potatoes are lovely - cook the roast above them so they soak up the juices.

Or, if you feel like larding up a bit then make Dauphinoise Potatoes - not very summery but gorgeous

Mmm. Like the idea of boulangere potatoes. I like the idea of Dauphinoise, as well, but I could end up rolling along!

I know what you mean

I just love Dauphinoise but know that Boulangere potatoes are better for you (and I have a dd allergic to dairy!!)

ALL potato recipes. I LOVE potatoes.

Dauphinoise Potatoes, probably my favourite.

or simple mash with a ton of butter and a little cream, really really creamy.

Or if I am sick, cheese and totty pie as my mother called it. Basically cheesy mash mixed with fried onions, put in the oven for a bit for cheese to really really melt. Heaven with a sore throat as a kid. it cannot be lumpy at all though. So now DH has to go buy it from sainsburys and add extra cheese to it

I do Pan Haggerty or

Left over pots quarted.

I saved this the other day; it was an ad-link at the top of the mumsnet pages .

You should fine this useful .

Spanish omlette: cut up potatoes small, enough to fill the frying pan of choice. Boil them for 15 minutes (some recipes say to fry them but it takes forever, do it this way insteead!). Meanwhile fry onion in the chosen frying pan, along with anything else you might want to put in it (traditionally just onion and potato, but red pepper or chorizo are good). Drain potatoes. Put potatoes and (now fried) onion and other stuff back into the saucepan, and stir in beaten egg. Stir vigorously, return to frying pan and fry until done. You might need to put it under the grill to set the top. The diea is to have a potato cake held together with egg, not an eggy omlette as such.

Very nice cold for lunch.

Ah, yes, had forgotten the potato council! Recipes are fantastic - may run out of potatoes if they keep coming in at this rate.

Gnocci?

Chips.

Have you ever made rosti? I cook it with a bit of bacon and cheese, but you can use onion, veg either steamed, roasted, etc, or just as they are, and serve with salad or peas.

Boil potatoes peeld but whole (or as close to whole as poss) for exactly 5 minutes.
Rinse under lots of cold water.
Grate with a coarse grater.
Season generously and miz with added ingredients.

Fry in generous flattened spoonfuls (I keep the cooked ones warm in the oven) and serve hot.

Thinly slice loads of potatoes (can parboil them first if you want), layer them with sliced onion, chopped up bacon and grated cheese. Beat egg with a bit of milk and pour over. Grated cheese on top. Bake in oven until soft and yummy.

Was a student favourite of mine! Can add single cream if you're feeling indulgent.

Nice brunchy thing which I call Ranch Potatoes but I think that is something else really:

Chop potatoes into 2cmish cubes. Get wok and begin to fry them on a high heat in quite a lot of oil.

Meanwhile chop an onion or 2. When potatoes are brown on outside, turn down heat and add onions.

Cook for a bit. When onions soft/brown, add 1 tin of tomatoes, generous slug of balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper and dried chilli/tabasco/harissa or similar.

Simmer until potatoes are soft and sauce is sticky. Serve with cheesy scrambled egg or an omelette and spinach.

All measurements are approx- add more tomatoes if you like.

Never heard of the ranch potatoes. Must try that. Also never tried rosti - always thought that they would have 2 million calories the way they make them on TV. Yours sound much better. All sound mmm
