How many things can you do with potatoes.

mummyof3_2

When I was on a diet ( all of the time it seems? ) I went to slimming world and one recipe was for home made chips. I have made these for years and all members of the family eat them.
Peel and cut potatoes as for deep fryed chips.
Par boil for 5 mins.
Spray oven tray with low calories oil spray.
Put chips on tray.
Spray with low calorie oil and salt ( if needed )
Pop into oven on a high temp for 20 or so mins turning half way through cooking.
And enjoy!!!:T

Any ideas what I can do with them? (I'm vegetarian)

can you freeze them?

Thanks in advance

youngie

yes if you cook them first

I thought you just couldn't bung them in the freezer but then I wondered about frozen chips and potatoes on the top of frozen meals. Many thanks!

make soup, veggie shepherds pie, fish pie? pop them into a stew/ hot pot? make pizza bases out of them? (mash, mixed with flour, herbs etc then used as a pizza base)

Hi carrottop

I've added your post onto one that has a few ideas for a) using potatoes and b) storing or freezing them.

By the time you've read from the beginning you should have an idea or two

In desperation after a large car repair bill, which blew my budget out of the water, I bought a sack of potatoes for £7.50
I thought I could make loads of meals out of them

If any one has any ideas for recipes, that would be great, but I am vegetarian

I have a slow cooker I can use
