Potatoes are a staple carb for people all around the world as they’re cheap and easy to cook. They are also super versatile, with endless ways to prepare and cook them. If you’re after some more interesting ways to enjoy this comforting carb, then here are three ideas for fun potato dishes.
Hassleback Potatoes
This method for potatoes looks super funky and fun and also tastes delicious. You’ll need to poke a cocktail stick through each potato about 1cm from the edge. Then use a sharp knife to cut thin slices through the potato, stopping at the cocktail stick. When these are then baked in the oven with plenty of flavorings, you get delicious crispy slices of potato.
Potato Fritters
If you have leftover mash this is ideal, or quickly whip some up. Add some diced onion and garlic to the mash, and then some tinned tuna. Mix this well and then fry these until crispy.
Hash Browns
This can be time-consuming but is well worth the effort. Grate a load of potatoes and then squeeze out all the excess liquid using a clean teatowel or a muslin cloth. Mix this with finely sliced onion and some herbs, spices, and seasoning. You can either bake these in the oven or fry them in some oil depending on your preference.
