Roasties. Chips. Fries. Wedges. Mash. And that's barely scratching the surface. Potatoes are a constant in our kitchens week in, week out, and their versatility means they never get old. We eat over two million tonnes of them every year in the UK alone, and they're usually the first ingredient we reach for when we want something comforting and delicious.
But not all potatoes are the same. You can really taste the difference between a top quality potato and a poor one. That's why we've teamed up with Nanna Tate, to shine a spotlight on what really good potatoes can do. We've got a whole host of recipes, from the simple to the showstopping, that ensure these special potatoes are the star of the show.
Is there anything more comforting than a hearty helping of potatoes? This trio of recipes are the ones we constantly go back to.
Baked potatoes – whether whole, as a gratin or a mash-topped pie – are always a good idea. This twist on a shepherd's pie, a dish of crispy hasselbacks and a must-try scalloped potato bake are the ultimate oven fodder.
The beauty of Nanna Tate potatoes is that they're just as suited to mashing as they are roasting, frying or steaming. These three recipes show how mashed potato can be so much more than a side.
Just because something is served as a side dish doesn't mean it can't command the most attention. From fondants with a twist to fudgy confit potatoes, these are incredible recipes to have in your repertoire.
Chips, croquettes, matchsticks – potatoes are arguably at their best when deep-fried. Nanna Tate potatoes ensure that beautiful contrast between crunchy exterior and fluffy interior – as these recipes effortlessly prove.
Potatoes can be the foundation of bright and fresh dishes as much as they can be hearty and filling – try one of these dishes the next time you're after something a little lighter.
