The 'imported snacks' thread had me thinking.
I used to have these packets of 'spuds in sauce' ( i think thats what they were called), and they were made by the same people who make 'Pasta in Sauce'.
I havent seen them for years, and i loved them, anyone know if they sell them ANYWHERE?

ah, I know what you mean now! You can still get them in M&S
I initially thought you meant those little pots of mash similar to pot noodles etc. They are so wrong but so, so right
You could make your own, I reckon, piece of piss!
Im thinking they were laced in cocaine, or something similar, they were beautiful!
They were gorgeous. They do them in jars too.
Maybe i am thinking of something different.:chin:
I have tried googling with no luck.
As for jars, Homepride used to do them.
But the best ones were the Uncle Ben's ones you used to be able to get about ten years ago.
I don't think you can get any of them anymore.
ETA: Actually you can, on the net, for a price.
I think you made me want some of the pasta things tonight though. Lipton Pasta Sides. Good stuff.
Yeah these are two things. There was the packet of dehydrted potatoes to which you added milk, butter and water. And there's also a jar of sauce you can buy to pour over sliced fresh potatoes. Both rather yummy, but i make my own and it's soooooo simple.
Peel and finely slice about a 1lb potatoes. Layer them on a well buttered heat proof dish, with a good sprinkling of salt, pepper and melted butter over each layer. Bung in the oven about 180c Gas 5 for 45 minutes - 1 hour. You can put grated cheese (gruyere is yummy) on top for about the last 20 minutes of cooking.
The new ones got a rather yummy looking Tiramisu in it
I do that! Reading that has made me reallly hungry though, damn you!
Have to make them tomorrow, and settle for oatcakes and cheese now instead. Also
And Miffy, they werent exactly the same as the top ones, but similar. have you any links where i can buy them from at all? pretty please
Large onion grated.
Mix together with salt and plenty of pepper.
Put half into a large, non stick, buttered frying pan.
Cover the centre of the potato in the pan with grated cheese. Cheddar, Gruyere are best. Or Mozarella if you like it really stringy. (don't put any cheese round the edge or when it melts it'll dribble out and burn)
Cover with the remaining potato and press down firmly with a potato masher.
Fry for about 10 minutes each side on a lowish heat.
