Frank’s Ting@psneeze jaysus, does nobody eat gratin over there like, or does that count as baked?
@franksting Way too fancy
Siobhán Greaney (Shivers)@psneeze @franksting Yeah my partner said he thought hassleback was too fancy for that list!
Mam makes a great gratin but there's too much flavour covering the spud for it to be included in this list.
@shivers @franksting See that's the thing. You don't get to taste the actual spuds.
@franksting @psneeze Only discovered them couple of years ago - put a spud on a spoon, slice most of the way through lots, then bit o butter or oil and sprinkle of salt on the slicey side and bake/roast.

desinterets@desinterets Sure what would a Frenchman know about potatoes? 😉 @psneeze
@Koochulainn @psneeze We call them white truffles and Mr Parmentier invented them 😅
second would be grattin dauphinois ...

@desinterets Yeah, Ill give you gratin dauphinoise (probably would have received my #1 if it was an option), but baking potatoes in cream & garlic is arguably cheating.

@Koochulainn @psneeze 🤣 Cheating is the game in cooking.
@desinterets Irish Catholicism and its opposition to dishonesty probably held us back.
But these are the best potatoes, if we are allowed to cheat @psneeze

@desinterets Understandable. It's not exactly the most visually-pleasing dish.
I like it, but a lot of people aren't keen on the aul "mickey soup" @psneeze

mirabilos@desinterets TBF, it is mostly white/grey blobs. You will have to be more specific

@desinterets @psneeze @Koochulainn oh, I read Cheese, and my reaction referred to cheese, which people throw on gratin I have been offered.
Apparently either I misread or it was edited? Interesting to know that there is gratin without cheese apparently?
@mirabilos @psneeze @Koochulainn
Not really possible (grattin is pretty much the cheese melted on top)

@desinterets @psneeze @Koochulainn hm, just looked it up, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gratin_dauphinois says different ;)
It also says “cooked in a buttered dish rubbed with garlic” which is about one, one and a half bulbs of garlic less than I’d put in…
@Koochulainn How can you put roasted at 1 but David Hassleback at 8!? They're almost identical.
@psneeze I thought it was one of those potato spirals on a stick you get at European Christmas markets.
@psneeze It looks more baked than roasted TBF.
I expect they are missing the crunchy/fluffy texture of a roastie.

@Koochulainn Depends how you do them.
@psneeze Ill have to fill that gap in my experiences.
@Koochulainn Report back when you do. For science like.
Chris "TheChrisD" Daly@psneeze HASH BROWNS FOR PRESIDENT
@thechrisd David Hassleback every time.
@psneeze long as mashed is not puréed, because that loses taste and texture… roughly mashed is a favourite
@mirabilos Agreed. We want mash not baby food.

HollieK@psneeze They've even got a list of the Subways that are taking part in the spud trial - listed in restaurant number order ... 🤦♀️
https://www.subway.com/en-gb/-/media/emea/europe/uk/campaigns/spudwayjacketpotatotrial1.pdf
@HollieK72 At least in Ireland every shop has them.
@psneeze That's good.
Mr Mountain Berlin@psneeze Less controversial than their gulf war version
@Marmalade What was that?
@psneeze Sub on a scud.
Frank@psneeze phoargh a meatball spud, sounds bloody excellent.
@VWDasher You wouldn't need to eat for a week.
