Tried something new today and they turned out pretty good!
My daughter loves my roasted potatoes, but sometimes it's too much to do on a busy weeknight. I hadn't had canned potatoes since my grandmother made them for breakfast when I was a kid, but I was thinking about how I make roast potatoes and thought they might work as a quicker option. I usually peel the potatoes, sometimes soak them to draw out the starch, parboil them and shake dry to get crispy edges. Since the canned potatoes are already peeled and partially cooked, that saved a few steps. I cooked them the way I usually do and was very happy with the results!
They aren't exactly the same, but pretty close. And being able to have them ready in 30-40 minutes is a huge plus!

I love tinned potatoes! They’re also great crushed and mixed with pesto as a cheap side for fish 🙂
Also, those roasties look absolutely amazing!
So, just spray them with oil and roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes? On what temperature? And should I preheat the oven?
I usually buy a big bag of potatoes that I diced, steam, and freeze. Then air fry for a quick weeknight side. This is a great alternative for when I don’t have the time to prep potatoes!
Lard? Beef dripping? Can’t imagine those new potatoes you get canned could ever come out with that coat
