Potatoes potatoes potatoes..

Again, hope Tiffy is feeling better and i think she should be quite done with Rome by now lol.

The last entry was about steak and man.. How can I leave out the classic potatoes that goes with ur steak hehe

Well of cos if u are weight concicious u can always have grill veggie instead of potatoes hehe
Ok let's see what I have done so far with my potatoes to go with steak. There are no hard rules but here are the options;

Roasted potatoes ; crunchy , to the bite

Mashed potatoes ; creamy , goes well if ur sauce is wholesome

Potatoe anna ( potatoe layer cake) ,

Sauteed potatoes; nutty,similar to. Roasted but takes slightly shorter time to do

Actually the list could go and go,but I doubt whomever is reading this actually wants to know the whole potatoe family so let's look at rough guide on 2 of the recommendations based on how easy or how long you wana stay in the kitchen while making them haha.

Roasted potatoes; 6-8mins to parboil, and another 30-40mins to roast in the oven
Skin them, parboil in salted boiling water for 6-8mins.
Drain them, cut into chunks, season with salt n pepper,drizzle with olive oil.
Put on a roasting tray, into an oven on abt 175-180deg for 35-40mins
Done!

Tips; always take a look at ur oven, ans learn to know its "temper", not all ovens give u perfect roasting based on reciepts, so stay around, look at the colour n make ur judgement call.

Mashed potatoes :15mins- skin them , cut into chunks, into boiling salted water for 10mins,
Test with fork to see doneness, once can go through easily means done.
Drain them, add sour cream, salt pepper to it n start mashing!
In short time u should end up with a creamy n delicious REAL mash you have ever tasted.

Rule no.1: never as in NEVER EVER buy those powdered mashed potatoes u find in supermarkets, those stuff are atriocious & might possibly be evil.. So stay away

Alriteee, I think that's quite alot of reading for 1entry, remember if ur sauce is very wholesome, go with mash, otherwise anyother is pretty fine. Till next time foodies!!!

p/s I dont really take pics of just potatoes so this shall be my 1st post without pics :)
