I have lots of potatoes that I need to use up, have you got any good ideas? So far I've come up with mashed or roasted. I have no imagination today.
So... inspire me

If they're small then hasselback 'em, if they're big then I'd probably do some kind of root mash or the always delightful - if heart attack inducing - pan haggerty
Potato wedges? Boiled and then fried up? Sliced thinly and layered with butter and black pepper and then baked in the oven...
What's pan haggerty?
Pan Haggerty
Potatoes
Big breezeblock of cheddar
2 medium onions
30g butter
1 tbsp veg oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Slice the potatoes thinly and dice the onions, grate the cheese.
Combine the butter and oil in a frying pan, when melted remove the pan from the heat and place layers of potatoes and onion, sprinkling each layer with cheese.
Cover with a pan lid and cook through gently for about 25 minutes or 'til the potatoes and onions are cooked.
If you like as a finishing touch (to finish off your arteries, really) you can:
Pre-heat the grill 5 mins before the dish is cooked, sprinkle the leftover cheese on the top, place under grill until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly and delicious.
Serve straight from the pan
When my mother makes it she add cream, too, and she sometimes bakes rather than fries it so it's very like dauphinoise but even worse for you and even tastier. She layers potatoes, onions, cream and cheese, bakes it in the oven for about 30 mins and voila.
Heaven on a plate but about a month's worth of calories. It's so unfair /Kevin the teenager :razz:
I think I'm going to go with the healthier (hahahahahahahahaha) option of boiling then and then frying them with whatever spices and herbs and bits and bobs that we have in the cupboard, and then have them with beans for that ultra classy finish.
I think I'll roast the rest of them tomorrow, but in a pretentious way with rosemary and sea salt
Id make a load of chips tbh, but then again, im a bit common like that.
Chop them into chip sized bits of potato and then deep fry them, or oven them?
Why not make potato wedges?
Failing that, chop em into chips and bung them in the chip fryer, but I dont have one of those.
I'm still going with boiling and frying (in a frying pan :razz: ) and I'm going to the shop to get something more exciting than beans to have with it. Not sure what yet though.
Meat & potato pie?
Briggi's hasselback potatoes
I think they should be called hasslehoff potatoes though tbh
