Big sack of potatoes

krustylouise

Hi all,

After abit of advice. DH bought a massive sack of potatoes that were on offer yesterday for £2 {in M0rris0ns}. Normally our limit is mash, and that is something we don't eat very often.

Do you have any ideas what I could use them for? I have already thought of some for soup, some for mash for tops of pies like shepherds pie etc. But then I'm stumped. I know I could make a batch of wedges/roasties and freeze but I'm terrible at making these and then not using them and throwing them out.

I am writing my meal plan today ready to do our shop online tonight and would like to include these for every single meal this week. Inspiration please?

Thanks

Jacket Potatoes? Loads of toppings you could put on them!

Boil some potatoes, until nearly cooked then put into an ovenproof dish and sprinkle with grated cheese. Oven bake until the cheese is melted or crispy, according to your preference.


Oven baked slices of potato, in cheese sauce which you can buy as a powder or ready to pour.

Greek potato and cheese pie http://greekgourmand.blogspot.co.uk/2008/04/patatopita-potato-pie.html - I make mine with feta only and add some olives.

You can also make a potato and leek pie

Batatas Bravas?

Potato curry (with any other veg or meat you like) Keema is very nice.

rather than mash make a hotpot with sliced tats on top?

Tortilla

I make a basic bake; chicken thighs, onion in quarters, potatoes, any other veggies I have to roast (pre-cook parsnips) but that might include peppers, beetroot etc. Toss them all in a little oil, pour into a baking tray, add some garlic if you like it, herbs (bay and oregano are nice but mixed is fine) and bake for half an hour. Check everything is done and eat if so.

Nothing wrong with egg and chips either.

good_advice

Empty the whole sack of spuds into a laundry basket and check them over.
one rotton spud in the bottom of the sack is ;0(
Place the spuds to store in a cool, dark place for longer life.

dinners - boil some potatoes and then slice and fry with onions.
make mash
slow cooker - make an all in one meal. diced root veg and potatoes in a tomato base sauce. Add dumplins.

Potato bake. Take 3 or 4 medium spuds, peel and slice really thinly. Slice an onion thinly and chop up 3 or 4 rashers of bacon.

Make a pint of white sauce. Put 2 oz margarine, 2 oz plain flour and a pint of milk in a pan, heat and whisk until thick. Add some grated cheese to the sauce if you like at this point.

Grease an oven proof dish then layer up the potatoes, onions and bacon. When you have used half of the ingredients add half of the white sauce. Then keep layering until you have used everything up and pour over the remaining sauce. Season with a bit of black pepper.

Cover and bake in the oven at 180 degrees for 2 hours. Absolutely delicious, my kids love this with sausages but I would happily eat it on its own!
