| I've got a can of Tesco "Value" new potatoes. ![scared](/users/3715/63/33/29/smiles/3218000624.gif) ![Tales from the Food Bank IDShot_540x540](https://img.tesco.com/Groceries/pi/624/5051622661624/IDShot_540x540.jpg) I don't know what to do with them. ![dontpanic](/users/3715/63/33/29/smiles/2292314534.gif) _________________ Ibble obble black bobble, ibble obble out!

| Don't try and mash them. Just dry them out in a pan over a very low heat and serve as an accompaniment to the protein. _________________ ' "Haven't got houses." Where do they live then?'

| I've read online that they're best roasted slowly in the oven with olive oil, salt, pepper and herbs. Much e-discussion seems to revolve around the label disclaimer that they shouldn't be fried. It seems that the water content causes them to spit and even explode, showering the hapless chef with scalding hydro/tuber effluvium. ![dontpanic](/users/3715/63/33/29/smiles/2292314534.gif) _________________ Ibble obble black bobble, ibble obble out!

| The slow roasting option does sound quite nice, bit of a faff though. |

Yes, they were also dangerous to cook, and it was a big faff as Nik surmised, and they weren't as nice as roasted parboiled fresh potatoes, but they were still pretty delicious. |

| It's partly the perspective. But they were very tightly packed, they wouldn't come out when I tipped the tin up, I had to ease them out with a fork. That's why one of them is showing signs of damage. _________________ ' "Haven't got houses." Where do they live then?'
