  • Best Dressed New Potatoes

    thedizzydieter

    Okay, now I know what you’re thinking. New potatoes, butter and herbs is not a new concept – what are you playing at? To be honest with you, 10 years ago I wouldn’t have been able to successfully boil some new potatoes – I might have been able to knock you up a bit of mash if you were lucky. People were serving buttered and herby new potatoes but I wouldn’t have known where to start trying to do it myself and come up with a blend of herbs that tasted good! So no, this is not a particularly original…

    What I’ve essentially done here is taken the traditional tuna pasta bake and, for want of a better phrase, tarted it up a bit. Pasta bakes are one of my absolute favourites but it seemed a natural evolution to try swapping out pasta for potato gnocchi to make something a…

  • Double baked potato skins

    thedizzydieter

    Potato skins are one of those things I’ve never really thought of as a thing to make at home. I’m of the age where you saw them on every single restaurant menu for what seemed like years. But then they seemed to disappear and, correct me if I’m wrong, I…
