What's for dinner?

Stop it now, just stop it!!!!!!

Bloody Delia Smith eh?

I think to meself "Everytime I make Roast Potatoes, they just never taste quite right"

So I goes to find what delia would do online ...

"Gently boil the potatoes for 10 minutes first"

Check

"Then drain off the water. Place the lid
back on the saucepan, and, holding the lid on firmly with your hand
protected by a cloth or oven glove, shake the saucepan vigorously up
and down. This shaking roughens up the cooked edges of the potato and
makes them floury and fluffy – this is the secret of the crunchy edges."

Which is exactly what I did! Only when I open the pan to have a peak at me spuds, seems the 'vigorous shaking' has fookin' mashed 'em!!!



Seems me and Delia have a difference of opinion on what 'vigorous' means

Mature Cheddar and garlic mash............feeling ill......dont fuckin care..!

You must have been using the wrong kind of tatties

Just standard white potatoes from Morrisons ... the 2 or 3 that I salvaged tasted the part.

I probably just twatted them around a bit to much ...

Tatties are a pain just now!, either tasteless or boil into the water so it probably wasn't anything you did wrong

I made some home made rice pudding, I'd been wanting it for days, the temptation finally got me.

par boil them
stick them next to the joint
spoon a little of the juices over the top of the spuds then grind some rock salt over the top of the spuds
thats it m8
the salt should get the spuds to draw all the juices up into the spud leaving the tops brown ,and the bottoms should go like a toffee apple

edit
i like to use a bit of butter and oil in the bttm of the tray with one or two smashed cloves of garlic

I'm starving after reading that now Haha

The best topside of beef with roast pots, Yorkshire puds, turnip and mash, fresh carrots, green cabbage, cauliflower and gravy..........

Haven't had lunch yet, but since I'm going to be away for a while, I'm guessing some take out. Don't know from where.
