    I'd be inclined to cook a whole batch of them in their skins (enough for a family meal of your choice) and then mash them without skinning. Makes a nice rustic mash which, if you need to, can be disguised by using it as a topping for shepherd's pie or corned beef hash.

    I'm also quite happy to serve hot cooked potato (in any form) along side a salad - big ones boiled, roasted, baked, or mash :)

    Thanks Squeaky. I love the idea of them hot in a salad, and rustic mash sounds great!

    This may be a really daft question, but I have a cake tin:

    Is there any reason I can't use it as a roasting tin? :o
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    Problem is it's got "cake tin" written on the bottom and I'm a bloke. :o

    Dosn't make much difference, the side look deep enough to me.

    Lay foil over tray and out over the sides, like a bed sheet over the bed :D put meat in middle, gather foil over the top like a tent and fold down. HTH

    Nope - I use a small square non-stick cake tin for roasting chicken breasts, Cumberland sausage, vegetables etc. They don't know they're not in a proper roasting tin ;)

    They look good, I just assumed meat when you said roast, didn't think of veggies, my mistake :o

    I have a box of fake mash in the cupboard ( part of a Lucky Box from AP).
    I tried using some as a topping for a shepherd's pie a while back and we all hated the artificial 'glueiness' of it.

    Is there anything else I can do with it? I looked but couldn't find a thread anywhere. I know there has to be one!!!

    Could I use it to make potato bread maybe? I'm happy to try anything really. It comes in sachets , one of which would make maybe 4 cereal bowls full. I have 3 sachets left to use up.

    I would be happy to bake with it, but not to use it in its intended form IYKWIM!
