Irish Potato Roast-A crispy baked roast potato with a hint of rosemary and thyme is just perfect to make any meal complete.
There is something about the crispy baked potatoes that no one can resist. We all love potatoes to the core and as we know that there are numerous ways to cook this humble vegetable, but still baked potatoes are my favorite.
Being Irish staple, potatoes are served here in many forms, being wedges, fries, mashed or roast everyone loves their portion of potatoes. When we first moved to Ireland, my husband would tell me that Irish people always eat ice cream for their lunch. It took a while to him to understand that what he thought ice cream was always a scoop of mashed potatoes, that’s how they serve them.
So far I have tried all the varieties of potatoes we get here and I like the Rooster potatoes best to make, mashed fillings the roast, wedges, and fries. But when it comes to making Indian style vegetable with potato I prefer salad potato as they can hold the shape even after a few whistles in the cooker.
Anyways whatever way you eat potatoes, this is one vegetable that can never go wrong, what say??
