Can Canned Potatoes Actually Be GOOD....?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 เม.ย. 2023
- The canned spud is a store cupboard staple, and for some a necessity. Generally speaking, fresh produce is always going to be cheaper per kg than it's processed counterpart. But it's not always an option for people on the bread line, and might not have access to the money to buy a bag of potatoes outright. So today I thought i'd explore the canned potato and see if I can make them taste a lot better. At 37p a can, and you only have a few quid to come up with a meal, then they are ideal for that. Plus they don't go off which will help reduce waste. Who knew the humble tinned spud could be so tasty!
I used them in this really simple little lunch recipe. And top with maybe a fried egg or some buttered bread on the side, and it's going to fill you up for not a lot of money. You can also swap out so many of the ingredients, so it's brilliant for having a fridge clearout. Kale, mushrooms, cabbage, sausages, leftover roast chicken, spinach, ham. Anything goes with stuff like this.

What other canned foods would you like me to make recipes with?
Spam
I've used canned potatoes in Bombay potatoes. cheap and cheery. one onion tin of tomatoes tin of spuds packet of Bombay potatoe mix done lol 😁
As Sam has replied….Spam….if you can come up with anything for this i’d give it a go. Tried it (and loathed it) on a couple of occasions. Think it may be a texture thing.
canned mushrooms can also be tasty! Try a good canned Spam...great for breakfast! One thing I cannot stand is canned beef/meat...too mushy.
Pitted green olives stuffed with pimento. I've come into a huge quantity and there's only so many martinis I can drink. Any ideas would be appreciated very much!
Easily the most unpretentious, enjoyable, and above all actionable cooking videos I've come across. Adam, I salute you. Fabulous.
Thank you very much! Very kind words my friend
During the pandemic when most fresh food was scarce I stocked up on these potatoes thinking I probably never use them but I have. I've used them as they are,added to casseroles, added to soups, diced and fried them and they literally worked with everything. The only thing I would recommend is that you drain them and pat dry them first then just go for it very versatile
Tinned new spuds make a nice, no cooking potato salad.
I like tinned sardines (Mackerel is nicer but double the price.) in sauce with rice, and a bit of whatever veg I have. When making rice I always make more than I need, then quick chill and freeze what's left. I also chop up and freeze things like peppers, carrots, celery and mushrooms if they're starting to go ropy in the fridge. This means I can make a quick, healthy and filling meal in the microwave when I don't have time to cook.
I love tinned sardines. Used to have them on toast back in my bedsit days. Was filling and tasted good
Just the sort of thing I like to whip up on a Saturday evening. I’d do it in the air fryer.
I may be one of the few who likes canned potatoes. I don't use them often but will use them for fried potatoes or put them in soups & stews from time to time. Nice job sir! 👍
Once you start adding other bits and bobs, they turn out pretty decent
Cracking channel Adam that I only stumbled across a couple of weeks ago. Nice to see real meals with no pretensions, brilliant.
Welcome to the family Andrew!
Hi Adam..I don't like tinned potatoes..so decided to grate then..mix with flour and diced onion..and any seasoning of choice..mash with your hands and form into potato cakes in the frying pan..I actually enjoyed them..thanks for your vlogs..👍
Great idea Jan!
That sounds fab. I have tinned spuds in the cupboard and will give it a try. "Pemmican Cakes" (see Swallows & Amazons) are good, too: essentially, add some mashed up corned beef to your recipe.
This look absolutely delicious 😋
Tin spuds in the air fryer with seasoning are mega for a quick snack
I'll try them out in the air fryer. Might add some garlic, parmesan and rosemary
Cor now your talking mate. Keep up the great videos
@@Adam_Garratt add some breadcrumbs too...
I'm going to try that!
16-20 mins
Excellent idea using tinned produce, and if you can find them in the reduced section, even better 😊
Love a good dented tin bargain
That pan-fried meal looks very tasty. I always have a couple of cans of potatoes in the cupboard as a fallback, but haven't used them very often because of the texture. But recently I watched a TH-cam video which showed the results of roasting tinned spuds in an air fryer. As I have a Ninja I gave it a go and was literally blown away by the result. It was the best result I've ever had from tinned potatoes. Basically it involved draining the potatoes, patting them dry with kitchen paper, coating them sparingly with oil (I used sunflower) and roasting them for around 10 minutes at 200°C.
We can get those here in Australia, too, most supermarkets have them, but the only time I ever bought them, they weren't whole potatoes: they were chopped into little cubes, and they were intended to be used in potato salad. They were of quite good quality, though, and I just mixed them with a bit of mayonnaise, chopped onion, etc., and they actually turned out to be a very good potato salad.
I must have a go at your chorizo version, though, mate; it looks extra scrummy! 😋👍🏻
I love potato salad. I can't deal with shop bought though, as they are nearly always bland as hell.
@@Adam_Garratt My local supermarket actually has a very nice premade potato salad, (we can also get tinned potato salad, which I sometimes like to mix with tinned sauerkraut and make a giant Turkish Roll with either some leftover roast chook or a few slices of corned beef. 😋
Tinned spuds ... absolute necessity for emergency/back up pantry store. Back in the sixties we used to deep fry them in a chip pan. There was a time remember when the shops weren't rammed with sacks, bags and varieties of spuds like they are now.
Also for people who go to the pantry such as myself, they usually give you some every visit and it’s hard to figure out what to recipe to make so I’m not bored uk😊
FYI: I’ve learned that a bag of spuds are £1 in M&S. Far cheaper than the bigger supermarkets. Tinned spuds are great though!
Tinned spuds are also a staple of the food banks. I'd never come across them before and am grateful for this cooking idea.
Looks great Adam, I use canned spuds (slice them) with fresh sliced onion and chopped bacon & a little oil in a pan until sauted/crisp = serve with baked beans............very tasty
Sounds nice that mate
Fantastic meal there. I'm going to give that a go. Tinned spuds are fantastic for bulking out a homemade curry. They absorb so much flavour and really add to making it very filling if rice or naan aren't easily to hand. Tinned mushrooms are an interesting one that I've not dared dabble with yet. I suspect they are rather slimy!
I don't like mushrooms, but I would say with tinned they would have taken on a lot of water. So if were me I'd gently fry them until most water content has come out of them. I'd imagine that would improve the flavour and texture somewhat
Cheap,tinned potatoes are nice when they are crushed and roasted with salt and rosemary. I love tinned mackerel out of the tin. Any cooking ideas?
Tinned fish like sardines and mackerel make great pasta sauces. Add to cooked onions and garlic, maybe some chilli powder and capers, tin of tomatoes. Cook out and add to spaghetti. I used to eat warmed up sardines in tomato sauce on toast when I was really skint in my bedsit. You could do a slightly poshed up version by toasting some ciabatta bread, rub with a garlic clove then top with some fresh tomatoes, red onion and then the fish.
@@Adam_Garratt thanks, chilli and garlic with EVERYTHING! It's strange that I love tinned mackerel so much,but sardines I can take or leave?? They're both low on the food chain so low in mercury. (I don't think Sardine is one species of small fish. As someone that hates "flash" TH-cam b/s, your channel is perfect for me. Your baked bean curry has been eaten many times!
On a jacket potato, on toast, as pizza topping
What a great idea Adam.....Thank you...👍♥️
I think I'm actually one of the few who actually love tinned spuds I always keep a few aside always good for the poorer days
We keep tin spuds tinned peas and corned beef in the cupboard of our narrowboat as a stand by in case we run out of fresh food whilst away and it's one of my favourite meals
That looks yummy, and very adaptable. Could use frankfurters, especially for kids 💕
Tinned carrots next please x
I like a tinned carrot. They are Like sweets 🤣
@@Adam_Garratt 😂😂😂
It looks fab. I've used tinned a couple of times for quick roasties. Like you say fresh is better but its quick and can be made tasty.
I've seen folks on tiktok make roasties out of them. Might give it a bash x
Brilliant! Much appreciated!
A really hearty meal Adam! And yes eggs would be lovely with it and some black pudding mate 😋
A nice runny dippy egg for sure 😋
Saw a really cool Bombay potato recipe using tinned tomato’s deffo a must for next curry night!
Tinned tomatoes work great in curries. I've got a tikka masala and butter chicken that uses them. Also recently a nice cheap keema curry
Alway,s have these in cupboard use them all the time .....Tesco pack fish in butter sauce ....full pack in 8 inch oven tray some frozen peas and topped with mashed tinned potatoes ....optional cheese on top........great fish pie........
The canned spuds tend to be of the waxy variety so need a bit of cooking to soften them up. I loved the colour of the dish overall. PS Moggs needs his own channel.
Haha I'd love to attach a little camera to him and record what he gets up to in a day when I'm out
@@Adam_Garratt that would be a long video of a sleeping Mogs! I am sure that most cats save their energy for when their humans are around so more likely to get food.
As always Adam amazing to watch . I dont normally leave any comments .but this really deserves a mention . Apart from learning , I love the down to earth approach that you have . Thankyou for sharing .and we say sharing is caring .but you do remind me of someone ..........with the best possible taste .who can that be ✴ take care everyone
Thank you! ☺️
bang on mate thanks .
i use the tinned spuds the same and some to add to curry the next day
I always kept a few tins of baby new potatoes on hand for whenever I couldn't get to the shops, for example, getting back late after some time away.
Some brands had more of the taste of the can than others, but they were OK with the tinned Fray Bentos Pie, tinned baby carrots,and UHT milk for a cuppa, all kept for the same reason.
As for canning, I used to like the soups, but I think my dislike is as much to do with the changes to the recipes as the process itself.
Recipes from the 70's often used soup as one of the liquid ingredients - but then they often used onion sauce mix as well!
I am more than happy with tinned tomatoes, sweetcorn, pulses, and beans (of the variety which need soaking and/or long cooking)
As for the rest, I would be interested to see if you can get something better than just acceptable.
Rather than just concentrating on cans, perhaps a combination with frozen, rather than just peas, especially as there are still £1 offers around.
A good way of affording fresh (apart from growing your own) is to buy loose from either the supermarket or a grocer - not only are they cheaper than the pre-packaged ones, you don't pay a premium for smaller quantities, and being loose you can buy as little or as much as you want. I have even been known to buy a single carrot!
These days, where we are all watching the pennies and running down our stocks, people should be aware that the most energy consuming part of running a freezer is chilling the air which is replaced every time you open the door.
If you can not afford to keep your freezer full, at least fill the empty space as well as you can. I have seen some use scrunched up newspapers or boxes used for mail order deliveries.
I know that cans may be more expensive weight for weight, however, we have to factor in that for some, those cans will have come from food banks at little or no cost to themselves.
P.S I.believe that you can get mushrooms in a can!
P.P.S, it might be worth considering jars and bottles at the same time.
Great ideas as always Neil. And you are right about soups! I find nearly all of them far too sweet and miserly on meat and vegetables. As for tinned tomatoes, they are fantastic, especially when fresh are out of season.
Ace cooking channel, Great recipes on the cheap, Love it 👌
Glad you like them! Cheers fella
I'm loving the cooking on a budget campaign, Adam...You're doing the community a service! So sad that many youngsters haven't been taught how to cook on a budget...I guess it's a skill from the past we enherited from our grandparents who'd been through post war rationing? Interesting you mention Tesko...I personally think the big five supermarket chains are jumping on the cost of living crisis bandwagon and increasing their prices purely out of greed...My local corner shop is now cheaper on many items such as bread, milk, eggs, bogroll, etc... It's all a disgusting con!
It is mate. In my opinion I can see no reason at how they can justify the prices they are charging. And I hope at some point all of them are hauled up for investigation
Tinned spuds make an amazing quick potato salad, dice ‘‘em and add 2/3 mayo, 1/3 salad cream, till we’ll coated, add chopped chives (if you have ‘em) and tons of white pepper.
I usually have a few tins of potatoes and usually do something like this with them by throwing a bunch of stuff in a pan for a quick lunch and sometimes add a few eggs to make an omlette or fritatta.
I use Lidl tinned spuds I must have 12 cans in a my kitchen at 37p you can’t go wrong great video.
Excellent as always Adam Sir 👍
Good idea something different init
Exactly mate, and thank you
Great idea for using up spare vegetables before they go off. If your'e asking about things to do with canned foods, it's got to be Tuna or other Fish.
Was thinking about some tuna recipes 🤔
Hi Adam I use tined spuds to make a corned beef hash pie mix with a tin of corned beef fry a chopped onion and a clove of garlic, dice the tinned spuds ,fry for a while add a table spoon of wooster sauce half a tin of baked beans 1ts of chilli powder and a good grating of strong cheese , let this go cold, and make a pie with shop bought pastry, it brillant I hope you try it.
ANOTHER canned delicacy I haven't had since 1975!😂
Canned potatoes are great in yellow Thai curry.
Love that Idea
Love canned potatoes, they are a particular joy
I used tinned potatoes when the shops ran out of fresh ones in lock down. They were ok. Mainly shoved in to a stew. I will try this with either tinned or new. I’ve never used that kind of sausage. Seeing you use it will give me the courage to! Yes those Tesco ones were way too expensive. Xxx
Chorizo is lovely. It's slightly spicy but not hot hot, has a warm paprika and garlic flavour. I love it
tinned chickpeas or champignons could be a bit of fun, great video as usually, gives me lots of ideas feeding 3 growing girls
Yes, they can be quite tasty. They are such an easy go to ingredient that requires almost no prep time. Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipe 😊
❤Annie
Thanks Annie!
Really like your down to earth no nonsense style, food looks good as well !
Appreciated mate
This is the type of video I would watch
Not bought these for years but I used to fry them and
they crisped nicely just with eggs and bacon,also
quite nice roasted .
Once and awhile my mom threw those canned potatoes in with a roast. They were always a great change from mashed potatoes!
Nice! X
Thanks for the ideas 🎉
Adam in Spain they make a dish exactly the same as this although they add cracked eggs on top in the pan when everything is cooked put a lid on and set the white it's great.
Delicious!
Good idea to keep a tin or two of potatoes in the cupboard, they are quick to prepare and I think they turn out great in the pan 👍
Made this dish. Added some garlic to the onion/capsicum mix and also added some diced roasted chicken breast (wife's request). Tasted ok, so I added some Togorashi powder. Tasted great.
As a recipe is only a guide, I also added GRAVY! The dish calls out for some type of gravy to bring it all together. After that, it tasted bloody fantastic!
Nice dish
Cheers!
Dear Adam thank you for great idea. To be honest I'm European from Slovakia and I got English partner so sometimes I'm still had to learn how to cook for him as he used to eat something else not always as he like some of my culture kitchen. I never used to cook from canned potatoes it is something new from me as We used to cook everything from fresh never canned things. But I want to try something different. One thing what I have to tell you is that if that Chorizo sausage is from Europe, you don't have to take ,,paper off from Sausage. It is made from meat and it is there for purpose. So meat is staying in one place. You can eat it. All what you have to do it is just cut into rounds like you did. Anyway thank you for your idea I'm just going to cook the same today for dinner. I'm going to deffo subscribed you. M
Your truly great to watch.
I love the wee canned spuds
excellently done
1/4 and seasoning and air fried they are fantastic
Hi Adam , My son makes this ,it's like a Spanish Chorizo Stew, Awesome.
Your best food ambassador for the ppl.
TY
Thank you Martin mate!
Absolute genius - I've got a tin of tinned spuds lurking at the back of the cupboard from a raffle (and they are lurking! Shifty looking things...) plus a can of corned beef from the same raffle (I was hoping for the wine, but no...) Going to have a crack at a corned beef hash tomorrow as it's half term and there are four mouths to feed for lunch. I've also followed you on the social Meeja - had no idea you were on FB or the Blue bird - you need to shout that out more often! Awesome work as always Adam - thank you.
Good idea for a corned beef hash. If you smash then you a bit in the pan, that'll create more surface area and get them a bit crisp
Awwhh kisses to my man, Mogs ❤️❤️ Dinner looks delish! I cheated today and had KFC. Wasn't in the mood to chop and clean today! 😂😂
Love KFC. It can be very hit and miss here though. I've leaned towards Popeyes now we have one in Leicester. I'm in love with their Cajun fries
Meal prep was so quick I will be trying this recipe thank you
Bit of chopping and slicing and you're away
Fray Bentos pie...A filling of your choice
I've made something very like this from scratch, so it gets a thumbs-up from me although, in my version, I'd break one or two eggs (according to how hungry you are) on to the top of the dish just before the lid goes on and let them set before serving. I like the use of tinned spuds, though - it speeds the cooking up. Keep up the good work, matey.
Total agree about the Tesco thing but beware, I eat tinned spuds regularly and I've noticed quite a difference from brand to brand. Love these cooked in the Ninja air fryer with various coatings added e.g. spices & seasonings like Jerk, Tandoori etc. Also nce with chopped up bacon & fried onions.
I like that meal...something my boys and I will like...and here in Australia our canned potatoes are a lot more than 37p...more like hitting the 3$ mark😏....we also years ago use to be able to buy them canned in a mint sauce...just lovely but that seems to have stopped and now just in water...
Tinned potatoes are surprisingly good in Salad Nicoise.
Cheers mate.. you making me hungry.
sorry mate 🤣
Love the Aldi ones! You can do an acceptable corn beef hash with them!
I'll give that a go!
Great video 👍 lovely to see Mogs looking so fit!
He's a very comfortable boy lol. Spoilt
Only just stumbled across your channel today so a new subscriber for you. I like your ethos of the channel, quick affordable tasty food especially in these difficult times for lots of people. And that sounds a lovely meal it looks really colourful and reasonably healthy with the veg. Store cupboard knock ups gives us all ideas. I will be checking out your back catalogue of videos now.
Welcome to the channel Dean!
I use them in my lunch salad I take to work, no time to cook in the morning and they're just super easy. Ingredients are just potato, water, and firming agent. Doesn't sound too nasty, maybe not as tasty but in the salad who even notices. I googled and the firming agent is most likely calcium chloride, my diet is low in calcium so sounds like a bonus.
Yep, a great store cupboard staple! Bet they are great in a salad with some seasonings, olive oil, lemon juice etc
The challenge to end all challenges - make tinned marrowfat peas taste good!!
I'm not that talented 🤣🤣
THANK YOU.
Hi Adam, I’ve taken my lot to London for a few days so caught this vid later than usual. Your recipe is a favourite in my house and just near to the end I’m shouting what about some eggs….and you took the words out of my mouth…it’s a great meal and I love Lidl and Aldi too…..have a great week and no eating any Easter eggs before the day…🤣🤣🤣
I thought I had some eggs left, turns out I didn't 🤣. Enjoy London guys!
Nice quick meal, I think Mogs wanted some chorizo 😊
He'd eat the lot if I let him. Then It would come out again somewhere in the flat later. I think he doesn't realise what a delicate stomach he has 🤣
looks good Adam...Canned spuds in a soup or beef stew works great too--love a good tater soup..love a Colcannon with meat/ham and potato dish too. Yum!!. Ever Heard of an Irish potato candy--no spuds in them but it reminded me of that tasty confection. :) cheers!
I've not heard of potato candy, i'll have a look mate
@@Adam_Garratt really? its a british/irish fave ive heard
Absolutely love you ,subscribed on the strength of this video.I did not know that you could get potatoes in tins ? .Ive got terminal cancer and I'm cold all of the time so the heating is never off ,just paid £1,566 for my gas and electricity it's gets me so ***ing angry 😡😡.Finding you though has made my day you are a joy to watch I'm going to binge your videos now with my four French bulldogs,my pug and my two Persian cats,God Bless you and take care 😘
Donna I am so sorry! I don't know what to say, other than I wish things could change for the better for you and everyone else. Having a terminal illness is bad enough, but having what precious time you have marred by this shady, lying, grifting set of sh*ts is the cherry on top. Sending you nothing but good and positive vibes Donna. And welcome to the family! We're all a friendly bunch here. 💖
I'm not sure if you already have, but MacMillan seems to have provided help to some of my viewers and their families. Hope this helps Donna x
they are great to use in recipes. I use the diced spuds in my Potatoe salad perfect wash rinse repeat.
Nice!
As a single person, if I buy a bag of fresh potatoes, I find they are sprouting before I get through them. Plus, I need to use gas in order to cook them, so I do use canned potatoes, and find them very versatile. And as potatoes are mostly starch, I don't think I'm missing much by way of nutrition.
It looks appetizing! Have a couple tinned spuds in my Prepper pantry 😎👍
Thinking about doing a little prep myself with the way the world is going 😅
I like em for camping. Easy a and cook fast
Really tasty idea here Adam the oils on those tinned spuds is delicious for sure!
Good old chorizo 😋
really looking yummy ✔✔✔✔
Thank you so much
tinned spuds are my favourite, cold is best.
Lovely recipe that will definitely be cooking was wondering if you could do something with tinned mince and onion ? I know a few people that are finding things rough right now have been using it and just adding tinned veg to to try and bulk it and make meal .
That looked f**king delicious,definitely giving that a go,cheers Adam.👍👍👍💥
You're welcome mate. Super easy too
I use the for salads or put them in a Gulaush as a binder
I use these when in at a pinch. Bolled as per instructions drained and dried, some butter melted over add some dried parsley or mixed herbs. Have them with some tinned haggis. Jobs a good un.
Looks delicious Adam
Thanks Jean! x
Great meal idea and really helpful with food /energy prices at moment, I always have a couple of tins in cupboard cause always handy to have when short on pennies.
Absolutely mags
I make this but with fresh potatoes and add paprika and a tin of tomatoes, lovely comfort food.
Sounds great!
That looks delicious, I love easy recipes like this. ❤
All in one pan as well so saves washing up, which I hate sm 😂😭
Five points for flashing your cat. 😆
Good video adam,but I know why the potatoes from tesco were a bit dearer than the lidl ones and that's the tesco ones says new potatoes on them where as the ones from lidl wasn't, so you are paying more for the new ones as they are always more expensive than your normal ones.but most of the time new ones have a nice taste
Good point actually. Still too expensive for what they are though.
@@Adam_GarrattTesco do have their own equivalent of the larger cheaper cans, but I guess they're only available in the larger stores.
@@Adam_Garratt if they were 70p for a small tin then the bigger tin will be so much more with being new potatoes.
Awesome 👏 thanks.
Have chorizo in fridge and was wondering what I do with this 👍👍
I've got a few chorizo recipes on the channel if you want to have a few choices.
Looks brill I would have had some butter in there though 😏
You make everything look good Adam!! 😁 Great work!! 👏
Cheers brother
I’ve bough5 the jarred sliced potatoes from Aldi, really good panfried with bacon, there’s a great recipe on the back of the jar!
I'll check it out, thanks!
