snow Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 New potatoes might be too waxy for baking - but they are very nice roasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gooster Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 I usually boil new potatoes and roast sweet potatoes or mash them. They are lush. I don't do much with regular spuds now - I find them a bit too dry and the texture is just not right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 The new potatoes turned out o.k, were firmer than a normal potato but nice, the sweet potato was errrrr very sweet Lol. Mum and dad went on holiday and asked did i want anything from the shops...i said no, there is tonnes of stuff to eat, 2 of the potatoes were bad hence the variety Lol just got round to starting my ironing...17 pairs of jeans ironed ad a few vests/tshirts, loads more to do but will do a little at a time. I do love my new iron though...makes it such a doddle, i only have to iron one side of my clothes Lol. What a way to spend your saturday night...ironing Lol poor Ben, hoping he won't be requiring another bath!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merledogs Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 Moaning  Not much planned for the weekend, just the usual.  Sweet potatoes are the food of the devil - we were forced to eat them as a child and they literally make me retch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazz Posted August 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 ive not had sweet potatoes. do you cook them the same as normal ones and have them with the same things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 you do cook them the same jazz... i think they cook slightly quicker though. I haven't had wedges or fries...will have to try those, i do pop it in a curry though and it is lovely and i make ravioli with it too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooster Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 The wedges are great, I brush them with coconut oil and sprinkle sea salt, pepper and fresh thyme over them and bung them in the oven for about 30 mins. They are yummy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
