Smokin' Hot Potato's

I know that you could use any potatoes for this recipe, but if you would like to use red pots, Tesco are doing their Rooster pots, 2kg for £1.

Good tip;) but I can't help pointing out that if you troll on down to your nearest farmshop, and there are plenty about even near cities, then you can buy a 25 kg sack of homegrown spuds for around £6-£7

Check out Big Barn for your nearest farmshop.

Guess this will be a good recipe for the Remoska? The 'Mock Goose' as well!

I have made these at Xmas time several years ago and sprinkled them with parmesan and fresh herbs and they are delish, a good alternative on Bonfire night maybe with some sliced up cooked sausage in between the slices of spud nice and filling for a cold frosty night.Excellant site BTW

I never noticed the 1-2-3 chicken. It looks nice also. I wonder if that will work with the pork loin that I have. Smokin' hot potato's with 1-2-3 pork loin maybe tonight.

I would think so, in fact it would be nice with pork. I didn't have a lot of time this morning so couldn't explore the site, I'm hoping there will be further delights.

I have bought the ingredients to try it. So long as I don't get lazy I will make it tonight.

I have done this style of roast potato for ages. My grandma did them for us when we were younger. We called them hedghog potatos.
When I do them with a roast I dont put the seasoning on them just leave them plain and baste them with juci from the meat...................... yummmmie

But i do potato wedges with seasoning to go with other dishes. Bit like tonight HM pizza and HM wedges!

I do a version of this by doubling up on baked potatoes, then on day 2 I just miss out the microwaving stage cos they're already cooked.

And another favourite:
cooked baked potatoes halved lengthwise on day 2, then scooped out, and the insides mashed with cheese or anything that inspires you (left over ham, chopped, onion, or just a few herbs) add an egg, and put in a hot oven until browned (20 mins-ish). Cheap, yummy and filling, or they can be glammed up - I once made them with some smoked salmon, dill and creme fraiche.

I would like to make this today, but have a question about the recipe: it says microwave the potatoes for 12 minutes on high.

Is that not far too long? Would expect them to be nearly pulp by then.

Any advice/experience with this much appreciated.

Many thanks!
