Twice-Baked Potatoes with Bacon & Soured Cream

February 18, 2018 by Elizabeth Atia

Jazz up your baked jacket potatoes with some crispy smoked bacon and soured cream. It wasn’t until I went to university that I ever tried a baked potato. Why this simple meal wasn’t part of our childhood diet, I don’t know, but I tell you I fell in love with that humble baked jacket potato …

Cream Cheese & Chive Mashed Potatoes

November 14, 2017 by Elizabeth Atia

A simple mashed potatoes recipe in collaboration with Co-op Irresistible. A bowlful of creamy mashed potatoes, is, in my humble opinion, one of the finest winter comfort foods out there.

November 6, 2017 by Elizabeth Atia

In collaboration with Love Food Hate Waste. Potato season officially begins now with these longer, colder nights and sudden cravings for all things carbohydrate (ok, that could just be me…).

September 24, 2016 by Elizabeth Atia

An #RNLIFishSupper recipe in collaboration with the RNLI & Albert Bartlett Potatoes. We love fish suppers in our house. Unfortunately, our nearest chippie is a half an hour’s drive away, which means that we usually make our own at home instead.

Shetland, in case you don’t know, is a little island archipelago in the North Sea midway between Iceland, Norway and Scotland. It measures a mere 80 miles from tip to tip and about 35 miles wide. It really is a …

July 13, 2016 by Elizabeth Atia

In collaboration with Heinz [Seriously] Good Mayonnaise. I confess, when I was growing up in Canada mayonnaise was not one of those things that regularly appeared on the menu.

In collaboration with Chippa – the UK’s only free-from condiment range. There’s something intensely satisfying about a table filled with food, a table so full that there’s no room to sit – you all have to stand around the outside of it and pick, graze and nibble until your belly is full. What makes it even better …

Leftover Roast Beef & Potato Hash

Shetland Black Potato & Fennel Gratin

September 18, 2013 by Elizabeth Atia

A perfect, creamy heritage potato accompaniment for roast Shetland lamb. September in Shetland, my remote archipelago home in the North Sea, means the return of many things. The winter gales, for starters, blowing away any remnants of summer one might have forgotten in the garden.
