    What about simple mashed potato to soak up all the sauce?

    How about potatoes roasted in olive oil, garlic and rosemary.
    Cut them small and they'll be cooked in 30 mins :)

    Little baby new potatoes would go nicely...:D

    Or if you have "large potatoes" to use up, I would try mashing them (I think that its "mashed potato" weather here in London today - they're comfort food when its wet and miserable!!;)).

    Hi Lynzpower
    As you have the over on anyway, why not potato wedges? Don't peel them, just slice them lengthwise into about 8 wedges. Put some oil in a roasting tin and let it get hot, then put in the wedges, shake em about a bit and grind over some pepper and maybe a bit of salt. If you use it, that Marigold Swiss Bouillon powder is a good salt substitute. They usually take 20-30 mins depending on oven temp and wedge size.

    do you think that mash will "go" though, I ruled it out as a bit wrong as the sauce is made with creme fraiche and might be a bit claggy???

    I reckon potato wedges would be the best- yum! :drool:
    I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

    If you don't fancy the wedges, garlic mash could be good. Or herby mash.
