This section provides a list of tasty potato recipes that have been eaten and enjoyed by us, our families and friends, plus links to recipes on other websites. It is aimed at helping you to find some new and exciting ways to eat your potatoes, because when you have a glut of any fruit or vegetable it is easy to get bored with eating them presented the same way every day.
We usually serve potatoes steamed, roasted or mashed. Occasionally we will consider adding a little something to the mash to jazz it up, garlic, truffle oil or a little wholegrain mustard for example. Potatoes appear on our dinner plates at least 5 times a week, even when we have salad, buttery new potatoes or a potato salad will be there. Of course the humble spud makes a great snack too, many of us eat crips. The most unusual potato snack I have come across was served at The Watchet Music Festival. The spuds where scewered, then cut into a spiral and deep fried. The finishing touch being the addition of flavours like garlic salt, salt and pepper or cheese and onion made them a delicious and unusual treat. Here are some ideas to help you make your daily spuds a little different.
Happy eating!

This recipe for potato salad is quick, easy, tasty and only has 3 ingredients. Give it a go then try adding hard boiled eggs. Once you've tried the "Eggy potato" version you're ready for the "Fully Loaded Jacket Potato" version!
The Jacket wedge creates a good low fat substitute for a chunky chip with your oven fish and mushy peas. Yummy!
Pommes Darphin Aux Oignons - or Potatoes with onions
Having been chopped into matchstick pieces the potatoes cook quickly and whilst you still get a soft centre to the potato dish it benefits from a crunchy outer crust and that sweet flavour you get from baked onions.
This as close as you can get to mashed new potatoes, with the waxy texture mash is a non-starter. We look forward to the new potato season each year and this recipe has brought Simon into the new potato fan club too.
This is a great one pot meal that can be made ahead and cooked when you need it. There are plenty of things you can do to adapt it to whatever ingredients you have to hand so the only thing you really need is potatoes.
This potato dish is great to offer at a BBQ when you want to offer something different to potato salad. The spuds are cooked and prepared in advance so all you need to do is reheat them over the coals and serve. Fantastic!
