Great potato ideas/recipes?

What can i do with potatoes?

Was thinking along the lines of roast potatoes opposed to mash, dauphinoise etc? Love the idea of something like potato lattices but seem a little too complicated for a simple meal
mmm i love samosas!! Do you have any good basic recipes? Always quite put off by indian recipes as they have soooo many ingredients. Thanks x

Tater skins with bacon bits and cheese. Top with either salsa or sour cream.

Twice baked are always good. Fried is nice, hashbrowns, fried french fries. or roasting with herbs.

You have to try the Greek Lemon Potatoes. They are cut in wedges, drizzled with olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary etc... & baked in the oven. I had it at my friends house & it was really delicious. Search for it, it's worth it! Happy Eats!

I agree with luv2eat
I make lemon potatoes and they are very tasty and very easy to make..
All you need are potatoes, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper, oregano, chicken broth to cover 3/4 of the potatoes in roasting pan and some crushed garlic.
Combine all the ingredients together and pour chicken broth in the dish..
I usually fry the potatoes very lightly initially in order to make them a bit crispy but if you want to make them less heavy on the stomach you don't need to fry them.
I also put some chicken pieces in with the roasting pan to make a fast meal
Hope I helped!
