surely its as easy to peel and roast yourself? Especially if you have to heat them in the oven anyway?
And they taste better than bought ones too.

And put them in boiling water for three mins then drain, add crushed garlic and some olive oil, shake and throw them in the roasting dish.
You'd be amazed how good they taste.

i only fixed my oven 3 weeks back - been without for about 9 months and have had about 6 roasts, and many many cakes since then.
this is good too - new potataoes, halved, boiled for 10 mins. then roast off with garlic and rosemary. Excellent with Lamb...
i am proper hungry now!

heres one of mine:
The Best Mashed Potatoes in the History of Everything.
Make the best roast potatoes you can: King Edwards, par-boiled, dried and dusted in a little flour or semolina then roasted in lard, duck/goose fat whatever you prefer except olive oil.
Then mash them with butter and cream. The sheer decadence of this seemingly destructive act might shock your diners. But i'm telling you, it blows Champ, Colcannon or anything Ramsay can dream up clean out of the water. Fluffy creamy and flavoursome with little bombs of crunchy goodness.

Well. I have a couple of friends whom made "The mash of love" one evening and then fell fastly asleep. next day anothe friend popped in, and was looking at the half saucepan of mash left over "mind if i have some?" - there best hafl ass excused were simply not enough. He ate the mash with their juices in it. And they had to keep a straight face or he would have killed them.
Is Spimf Mash the same?

sometimes I can't be arsed with the orchestra-conductingness of doing a roast dinner, or I don't have time because I've spent all day taking my kids to their football matches.
What you gain in convenience, you lose in quality, 'tis true.
