    We make homemade potato salad with our quiche. Just a simple recipe of boiled potatoes, cooled and then added to mayo with a small finely chopped onion & salt and pepper. If I have a lemon in I love to grate the zest into the mayo. Delish!

    Hi elly,

    There's an older thread with lots of alternative ideas for potatoes so I've added your thread to it to keep all the suggestions together.

    These threads might give you some inspiration too:

    Sprouting spuds ............

    Mash, boring mash!!!

    GNocchi. Anyone said that yet? Made them last week and they were lovely.
    My kids love cheesy mash and it is good for hiding veg in, like cauliflower, or carrot if you use red leicester;)

    My Mum bought me a HUGE sack of potatos from their farm shop at Christmas (no, they weren't actually a Christmas present!), they seem to be a mixture of reds & whites. We aren't actualyl big Spud eaters & I am having a recipe block about what to do with them all. So far all I can come up with is pie topping, fishcakes & potato bakes. They aren't really big enough for jacket spuds but I will save the hollowed out skins from mash for stuffed skins where ever possible, but does anyone have any other ideas?

    I want to try & have a cheap January & use things up so anything I can do with these would be great, also any less obvious ideas to disguise that they are potatos would be very welcome.

    Happy new year:beer:
    Cheers;)
