Inspiration for New Potatoes

organic_wanabe

I was at a food exhibition earlier today (actually, make that yesterday!). They had cooked the new potatoes, then scooped out the flesh and mixed it with a little cheese and mango chutney, refilled the small potato halves and put them back in the oven for a little while. They were really delicious, but probably a bit fiddly to do in large quantities.

pesto and maple syrup potatoes..... they are fab at a bbq hot or cold

boil or steam potatoes as normal then put into a large frying pan, add a large glug of maple syrup ( you could use golden syrup ,but not as nice ) and a couple of teaspoons of pesto, gently mix and cook in the pan till all sticky and reduced..... these are sooooo yummy

Hi growingafamily,

These threads might give you some ideas:

How many things can you do with potatoes.

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

Mash, boring mash!!!


I'll add your thread to the main potato one later to keep all the suggestions together.

How about a Potato Bake, layer slices of potato and onions in a dish, season and pour over some stock, bake in the oven until potatoes cooked.

Or how about potato salad, boil potatoes, leave to go cold, add some mayo and chopped chives - yummy.

This is one of my favourite dishes (we call it Pan Haggarty). I do it in a huge, deep frying pan with a close fitting lid. Let it 'sweat' for about 2 hours on a fairly low heat, it's just yummy.
Ooh and DH specially likes it with lean bacon between the layers of potato and onion!

I've also done the potato bake, but i usually do it with onions and cheese.

However once i decided i used half a jar of chicken tonight sauce, just for something different and it was actually very nice.

Omelette with sliced potatoes (might have to par boil them first) and maybe some onion, cheese, ham, pepers. Whatever you like really.
