What should I do with these potatoes?

Do kids still have spud guns? Maybe your GCs would welcome them as ammo?

The OP was asking about new potatos. Well, boil them , strain them. Meanwhile heat a couple of tbsps of oil. When hot, drop a pinch of cumminseed (not powder), a teeny bit of chilli powder and teeny amount of garlic paste (optional) and salt. Serve with steak, chicken or fish.

My neighbours given a good few pounds of cooking apples . I will peel them, stew them and eat it with custard. No apple pie for me.

Bradfordlass2 when we only ate things that were ‘in season’ the first new potatoes of the year were such a treat. What a shame that you can’t get them in NZ. I have a similar problem in Australia when my DD asks for home-made apple pie. It’s impossible to buy any kind of baking apples over there, let alone Bramleys. How can you bake a decent pie using eating apples?

Do you want to hear something unbearably sad?

Since I came back to New Zealand I have never seen, let alone been able to buy, proper new potatoes. They don't seem to exist.

Kiwis don't know what they are missing.

But I do.

My daughter insists that avocado is ‘smashed’ and new potatoes are ‘crushed’..... too many cookery programmes and not enough cooking methinks!

Only yesterday I made crushed new potatoes for the first time! Boiled until tender with mint, drained, then crushed with fork gently and a good glug of olive oil. Tasted great and could be put in fridge and microwaved in a couple of days. But not covered in cling film obviously ?

Indeed Callistemon but crushed are more squashed than mashed - rather like mashed avocado is now described as smashed!

Riverwalk apparently "crushed new potatoes" are very in at the moment.
Not that I have crushed any myself.

they are nice sautéed though!!
Or cooked and dressed in a garlicky olive oil/nice vinegar.

I did read the OP

Use them to pelt those who didn't read the OP properly

New potatoes don't make good mash and are a bit small for wedges!

Cook and freeze them.

BradfordLass haha, all very practical suggestions.?

Cook them now then when ready to use, cut into bite size pieces and sprinkle extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat with the oil and cook in oven on about 170. They will brown and taste delicious.

I'm hungry now...yummy..fried egg and new pots. Lovely xxx

Slice them in wedges, cook them halfway and drain. Mix with enough salt/pepper, milk, grated cheese and butter to make a casserole. Add the cheese mix to the potatoes and blend well. Drop the entire mixture into a well oiled baking pan. Cover with plastic wrap and then tinfoil. Pop in the freezer until ready to use. Add a crumb topping (optional) and bake at 350F for about an hour.

Par boil and freeze for roasters

Potato wedges. Little bit of seasoning, little bit of oil, bung them in the oven.

Cook and freeze for another day.

BradfordLass ???

Boil them and either make potato salad, saute them or freeze them either as they are or mash and freeze

This is where I really want a 'like' button

I would make potato salad. Add some chopped spring onions and mayo.

Sorry, I was thinking of my five boxes.

You could always wrap em in that cling film...
