Potato Recipes

Hi, i'm a fussy eater and don't particularly like veg so i was wondering if anyone has any recipes for potatoes that i could use on the Slimming World plan? I would love to vary my food a little.
Thanks in anticipation of suggestions
 
Hi Marcia :)

I'm not following SW myself but I am sure that you will soon have some suggestions from members who are.

Hiya welcome to minimins.

A few potato recipes I have tried are Bubble & Squeak, Sweet potato either mashed or as a Jacket both both are yummy or even Sweet potato roast with carrot's and butternut squash.
 
When I use to do SW I made home made oven chips ... which I still make for my family as they are healthier - and nicer!!

Chop potatoes into chip size or slices .. par boil in boiling water until slightly tender but not cooked. Drain well. Leave to dry. In a large baking tray use flora light spay. Add potaotoes, sprinkle on herbs, garlic or spices and cook in oven until golden brown. You can vary the taste of the chips by putting different herbs or spices on.

Enjoy!!

2 cloves garlic, minced
6 ounces firm tofu, crumbled or chopped very finely
2 tomatoes, sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
passata or salsina
grated _ fat cheese (you can use 1 A and 1 B choice on a green day – it gets
you a lot of cheese!)​

dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, shredded onion, eggs and flour. Mix

In a large nonstick skillet/frying pan, saute vegetable/tofu mixture until
vegetables are just tender crisp.

the potato crust. Top with the sauteed vegetables and sliced tomatoes. Pour
the remaining sauce evenly over all. Top with the cheese.
Bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) (Gas 6 I think)until cheese is melted

POTATO AND BACON FRITTERS​

same if not brown enough cook till it is .
Keep warm under the grill and repeat till all the mixture is used up.
serve with baked beans and quorn sauasges.​
The polenta should be free as it is not a snack it is a main meal.
but if the recipe advisor says it is not free it will be 12 .5 sins for the
whole mix that should make 8-10 fritters.​

POTATO AND GARLIC CAKES (
(Makes 16 cakes, serving 8)

50​
Nice to serve as part of a vegetarian main meal – try some fresh tomato salsa
with these.​
Ingredients;​
2 1/2 lb red potatoes -- scrubbed & halved
12 cloves garlic -- peeled
3 tbsp cornmeal, + more for dredge (free on green)
2 tbsp fresh parsley -- chopped
1 lg egg and 1 lg egg yolk
2 tbsp low-fat milk (1.5 sins)
Olive oil fry right
Salt and freshly ground black pepper -- to taste​
Method;​
Place potatoes and garlic in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a simmer
over medium heat and cook until the potatoes are just tender, about 20
minutes.
Drain and return the potatoes​
(unpeeled Risa said but I'm not sure about this. I
used them peeled)
and garlic to the pot. Add cornmeal and parsley and coarsely
mash everything together.
In a small bowl, whisk egg, egg yolk, milk and 2 or 3 good squirts of Olive Oil
Fry Right. Stir the mixture into the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
Spread the potatoes out on a large plate, cover and refrigerate. Chill at least
1 hour or up to 4 hours.
Preheat the oven to 450°F (or alternatively use the Grill) and place rack on
lower third of oven. Form the chilled potatoes into 16 cakes. Put about 1/4
cup cornmeal in a shallow dish; dredge the potato cakes in the cornmeal and
transfer to a tray.
If cooking the potato cakes on the grill, place two thicknesses of aluminum
foil on the rack. Spray the foil with fry right. Set the potato cakes on the foil
and cook until well-browned on both sides, about 6 minutes per side. (If
cooking potato cakes in the oven, spray a non-stick baking sheet. Bake in the
lower third of the oven until well-browned on the bottom, about 10 minutes.
Turn over and bake until browned on the second side, about 10 minutes

longer.)


Hope this helps
