Title: Potato croquettes
Post by: pauld on Saturday, May 30, 2009, 11:52:49
How fucking cool are potato croquettes? Not had them for years, but the missus got some for the kids and I've just had some with my lunch. Reminded me how great they are. Erm, that's it really.

Anyone else got any processed potato anecdotes/opinions they'd like to foist on an uninterested world?

EDIT: Bollocks. Accidentally posted this in the wrong place. Could some kindly mod please move it to General Discussion, please?

Hash browns are a favourite potato snack.  Go strangely well in a burger with some branston pickle.

I'm a big fan of the potato waffle. Cheap and easy, and go with all sorts!

Rosti is a bit of a winner. Grated potato grated and fried, add whatever you feel is necessary to flavour.

Yes i did put grated potato grated  :doh:

Hash browns are lush. Too unhealthy to eat often but nice.

Well you mash the chick peas in with the spud, some garlic, paprika and parsley....roll the croquettes in egg and breadcrumbs, then fry...jobs a good un.

mash potato should ideally be about half butter and cream, only just solid enough to hold shape. Although the shape thing doesn't really matter too much because of the lashings of onion gravy which melt it into a delicious grey soup flowing around your sausages + english mustard. Delicious.

Lattice fries with mature english cheddar liberally sprinkled on top and a side of peppercorn sauce.

Curly fries are one of man's greatest inventions! Back at school we used to club together and get the dinner ladies to make use big platters of them. I'm not sure Jamie Oliver would approve!
