They will put waxy potatoes in tins. They are heat treated in the tin to sterilize, and they might be cooked before or during that sterilizing. They have to hold up and not disintegrate into the water -so waxy potatoes have to be used. Waxy ones are not recommended for roasting, the floury ones have a good airy surface that crisps up well. They will explode even more dramatically if microwaved.
I've tried the really small tinned Baby New Potatoes before Dan... But as well as heating them up in a saucepan of water... I've also tried them in the deep fat fryer... And although they're nothing really special... The Fat (Beef Dripping) or Oil that you use can add a little extra taste to them... But i suppose that if you've run out of frozen Chips & Potatoes... It's something that someone could still use in an emergency if necessary. 👍
@@rickb3645 My grandkids love tinned new potatoes sliced and fried in oil and butter until golden brown (with anything but mostly omelette). Some do tend to explode so I put a screen lid to help and hob not on high. Also the tinned new pots don't explode as much as the cheaper tins. Only just got air fryer so not tried in that yet.
Hi Gareth, many moons ago, before they removed salt from tinned vegetables, I used to slice tinned potatoes and fry them off with bacon, mushrooms and chopped onion as a side dish. Or sometimes just deep fried them whole. I have tried tinned potatoes since and despite whatever seasonings you put on them, they never have any taste through the potato without being cooked in salted water first. (Just my personal opinion). We don't have an air fryer or a deep fat fryer either. Look forward to your next comparisons. See you soon.
Gareth .... You're turning your Kitchen into a Laboratory !!! Well worth a punt though and have often thought about doing exactly that with Tinned potatoes myself. Great video as always, Cheers ! 👏😉👍
That's expecting a bit much from your humble tinned tatty!😊But well done for giving it a go! I actually really like tinned potatoes, thanks to my 70s upbringing! They're great for making a quick potato salad.
Errrm maybe not this time Gaz 🤦♂️🤣, there’s a guy on TT he’s an absolute genius with the air fryer ,he’s done the potatoes and they looked delicious, also he’s done joints of ham etc etc and he’s absolutely class. Keep trying pal 👍👍
I do these often , cut them in half so they don’t explode. Rinse well. I put a drop of oil and some spice in a bowl and give them a good coating. They are very nice
Ha ha, big Man, your face when you tried them say's it all, good of you to try them as I was going to but probably not now, thanks 👍 again for another excellent review Gareth
Hi Gareth, with these tins, cut 90% of the lid and leave the other 10% of the lid attached, open it to let the contents out and then push the entire lid back into the tin, not all the way, just enough to contain the lid, minding fingers of course, this makes the sharp edges safe for disposal. This is an old Aussie bushmans trick.
I tried these a few months back and I think personally they were flavourless even when heavily seasoned, definitely worth trying as its a cheap experiment but I wouldn't bother again 😬
Hello there sweet ♥ yes, I've tried it and yes, works don't forget the seasoning x take care Happy 😊 Sunday God bless, they need a preheated setting first
Will Defo try this as I m calorie counting, so any spuds to me are a treat and I can eat these cold as well, so cheers. Try crumbling an Oxo cube in for seasoning
been doing this for ages like you said i cover them in goose fat then add salt pepper paprika and herbs give them a good coating while the ovens preheating with a pool of goose fat in the oven then chuck them in for about 20 mins lovely
Hi Gareth, done this experiment a few weeks ago, same as yours , olive oil, salt and pepper plus chilli flakes, some burst as yours did , they were ok but just to much mess in the fryer to bother again
Tinned poratoes are great for putting in stews and cassaroles, especially if you're using a slow cooker (because they're already cooked and don't disintegrate easily being a waxy potato). I never tried roasting them, but now I know not to bother! We always used to have these as a kid when we were camping on holiday, so they are a bit or a nostalgic treat for me now and then, but they can't beat a fresh peeled potato!
I've sautéed tinned spuds in butter and got a nice colour on them, always good to have a couple of tins in the cupboard. I haven't got an air fryer as yet lol but they look good. Cheers Gaz!
I do this too, I slice them in half so you can get a good flat surface on the pan for good browning. I put some diced onion and garlic in the pan too, garlic towards the end.
Trying to make something tasty out of tinned spuds, is always a challenge. Aldi do little packets of roast potato seasoning & one of them would probably be ideal for these. Might try that.
I've used tinned potatoes many times as roasties both in the oven and the airfryer tho my faves and my families are fresh peeled par boiled potatoes drained and left to cool enough so you can handle them then toughen each one with a fork to make little spines like a hedgehog drizzle with sweet chilli dipping sauce sprinkle with paprika and ginger a little salt and black pepper cook in airfryer lovely crisp outside fluffy inside
I just buy the frozen ASDA Crispy Roast Potatoes they are currently £1.10kg compared to the just essentials tinned potato at £1.11kg. I would avoid microwaving tinned potato's as they tend to explode making a mess. I heat the tinned new potato's and afew handfulls of frozen mixed veg in a sauce pan, heat them, drain them, return them to the pan add a knob or two of butter, salt / pepper / herbs toss the potato's and veg till well covered and serve. Cheapish and healthyish goes well with pork or chicken, i avoid beef as it is an arm a leg and your left nutsack for any half decent beef now.
Hi gaz , you cant beat a proper maris piper roast spud done in the oven. I boil mine first for about eight mins, with a table spoon of sea salt, and a t spoon of baking powder. Roasted in olive oil in oven topped with curry powder , garlic granuels- watever you want, lovely jubbly. Regards steve👍😜
This is such a good informative channel, it helps enormously in these difficult economic times, where people are trying to make ends meet. When some of the cheaper brands can be just as good therefore better value.
I always have few tins in cupboard for when I want a quick snack, as they already cooked just brown them in frying pan with salt & pepper lovely on own or with anything had them tuther day with cornbeef & sweetcorn
I am just experimenting with roasts today! Doing half in the oven and half in the air fryer. Home made though. Your face when you tried the first bite, told us everything!
I used to eat canned potatoes, and they do vary in quality. The best ones are Jersey new potatoes, but very expensive. I just use them in an emergency when I haven't got fresh potatoes. They do work if you steam them for 10 minutes, but immersing them in hot water is a no-no. They do work in home-made soups.
You have opened debate & the comments in this community are educational whatever anyone thinks. I love reading other peoples experiences. Exchanging ideas/ experiences about food is always a good thing to do. Thank you.👍
Years ago I used to put them in the chip pan and they was nice but like you said you didn't cook them long enough or season them or I reckon you might like them
Interesting, living alone I open a can of spuds now and again. They are pre cooked in can all they need is heating, never boil them. Baking would normally overcook them. But try olive oil, might brown better. At the end of the day fresh spuds are best. Canned spuds are good for cold potato salad too, just add mayo, hard boiled egg chopped, parsley, chopped onion and salt. But you gave it a go champ, well done.
I have found these half decent 'in an emergency' if you drain and bung a tin of them into a thick onion gravy on the hob tbh. Served with a bit of meat n veg.
I love ❤️ essential food from Asda and I buy these potatoes they are ok 👍 I use mid week if I’m making something quick and easy thank you 🙏 for another great video
Have you tried making potato salad with these, very simple and quick! Mayo, salad cream, mustard (Dijon seems best) salt, pepper and even some chives is you like
I believe the Himalayan salt has the pink tinge to it, is due to several trace minerals from the mines in Pakistan. I hope you appreciate my take on why the salt is pink sir.
I've never been a fan of canned potatoes. Now that we know that animal fats aren't harmful in moderation, I suggest that you also try roast potatoes, or even home made chips using beef dripping (which is what fish and chip shops used way back when I was a kid) as with goose or duck the taste is outstanding! My dad would also mash potatoes with beef dripping, when he was making mince and tatties, that was also outstanding!! I haven't had mince and tatties for such a long time!!!....my mouth is watering now 😋
Micro wave steam bags cook veg in minutes, can slice up spuds evenly, cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, tip them out and mash with butter etc, or goose fat or whatever and airfryer to your required crispy ness, I can knock up tasty meals in no time, plus using less power. Great to learn from your comparison videos what is good value or not, l live on me tod and find your vids entertaining. I was 15 years a cook in the Merchant Navy, used to cooking in volume, seem to over do it cooking fo myself. Keep up the good work 👍
I use them all time at work in the same ninja foodie. I found you place them in the silver dish with a bit of oil first then pour them on. Then you add some crushed sea salt on them then air crisp / oven bake setting for 35 mins it turns out perfect.
Aha, 💡 this is one of those “why didn’t I think of that” moments 😂 Gonna try this even though you weren’t happy I think with a couple of tweaks it’s doable to get something decent. Thanks x Happy Sunday everyone x
Used to drop em into a chip pan many years ago, turned out great, for the time anyway. Now consider fresh spuds are cheaper but a tin in for emergencies is not a bad idea.
Not this time Gareth. Just par boil an ordinary spud, for 5-7 mins, toss in olive oil, sprinkle with semolina. Result is a crispy, tasty, fluffy roaster, Try it, perfection.
I have a tin of emergency spuds and will try with some out of date roast potato seasoning powder I came across tidying the pantry. The potatoes were intended for a Jack Monroe fish cake recipe which I have tried twice but not with great results. So can't be worse and won't cost much to try.
it is the water absorbed into the tinned potatoes that causes them to explode. I once had it happen to me when I dropped them into an oil filled deep fat fryer.
usually rinse them off before and dry, liquid can taste a bit bad. then put them in a plastic bag, pour in some olive oil and spices, massage the bag so that they get oil on the entire surface. become like crispy bubbles on the surface. but then there are different brands that taste differently. I usually buy canned potatoes when I want fried potatoes, they are already cooked.
try the James Martin recipe and use fresh potato boil the cool a little oil season the come out magic in air fryer. In Australia they say not to use tin potatoes in the air fryer on the tin
I think if you’re in a rush and don’t have 40-60 mins to spare to peel, chop, boil and bake, these could make a decent addition to a quick meal, with seasoning ofc. Not actually a bad idea at all!
I keep a few tins of spuds incase of emergency. Im planning on doing some later today with a frey bentos steak&kidney pie. If they explode, they likely needed pricking btw but they look nice. To season, dry abit with a cloth, put in a bowl, and season with oil and salt before you put in the airfryer. You could also get an aluminium foil container with some lard, and cook in that quite easily. Ive been getting them from tesco to use in the airfryer to cook anything which needs to be contained. The lids can also prevent things burning too fast, so you can cook slower if needed.
I think those potatoes at least looked nice and brown . I have an air fryer which I have not used yet! Always interested to see what you do with yours.
Thanks for trying this. Pity it didn’t work. As a way to save putting on the oven I wonder if microwaving chopped potatoes for a few minutes before adding oil and popping in the air fryer 🤔
I still remember the look on the checkout girl when my sister and I went shopping and we bought 10 cans of canned potatoes, it was way back in 1977,our parents moved from north derbyshire to St Austell in Cornwall,leaving us to live alone.They were HORRIBLE !!
Hi Gareth, the video I watched says you need to cut the potatoes in half then they cook much better and are crispy, maybe you could do it again sometime, but like you oven roast spuds cooked in fat is the best, try beef dripping, spuds are amazing cooked in beef dripping, proper roast spuds 👍
You have been using the Air fryer for a while now, what's your views on the oil used when cooking, many are now saying use Avocado oil, because of the high flash point, I have not noticed any smoke or hint of burning with any oil, I normally use just a slight hint of cooking oil if required, perhaps I am not using as much as others, but no smoke coming from anything I have cooked.
Hiya, I tried tinned spuds in the normal oven once in oil and they exploded too, made a rite flipping mess! Can't beat proper spuds as roasties tho and as u say in goose fat they're scrummy. We save them till Christmas
@Bald Foodie Guy - Try drying the potatoes more on tissue or a tea towel for longer, then liberally cover them in seasoning and oil in a bowl before air frying them. The drier the potato the better and fluffier the results that don't explode. Keep basting the potatoes every couple of minutes, as they have a tendency to dry out quickly and not brown, easy as dry fryers don't lose heat when opened, like normal ovens. I agree the larger the tinned potato, the better the overall results. Alternatively blanch cook some pealed and quartered potatoes (approx 10 mins) and allow them to steam dry on paper towels. Then brown as before in an air fryer. 👍🏻 Just my opinion, I could be doing it wrong. 😉
I know which group you got this off ;) And yeh, pink salt is just that, pink, the amount you would have to eat to have any benefit of extra minerals etc would kill you due to the sodium content, so it's just pink, salt lol :P They look great, I have wanted to try this since I saw it a few years ago but haven't had the opportunity, will be doing soon!!!! I think you needed to do them for another 10 minutes or so, they need crisping!
hi m8 back home from hospital trying catch up on your vids nice 1 gareth i was unwell yeserday had ring ambulance think i got gall stones got mri scan soon never mind nice to be back watching your vids am getting air fryer in my new house when i move i been told they good
I always slice mine when I fry them. They need more cooking than that. They should have turned brown. Those potatoes are great in a stew. Sainsbury tinned potatoes don't explode.
They will put waxy potatoes in tins. They are heat treated in the tin to sterilize, and they might be cooked before or during that sterilizing. They have to hold up and not disintegrate into the water -so waxy potatoes have to be used. Waxy ones are not recommended for roasting, the floury ones have a good airy surface that crisps up well.
They will explode even more dramatically if microwaved.

Tinned potatoes are best used for use in slow cookers for a casserole.
Tinned potatoes are lovely in the ninja.
That was interesting to see how they turned out. I’ve never bought tinned potatoes, but I can see they could be useful for some.

I've tried the same. You always are left with them having a yellow centre. Perhaps the best use is with corned beef, mashed into a hash.
Yes not good these David

I still remember the look on the checkout girl when my sister and I went shopping and we bought 10 cans of canned potatoes, it was way back in 1977,our parents moved from north derbyshire to St Austell in Cornwall,leaving us to live alone.They were HORRIBLE !!
Hi Gareth, the video I watched says you need to cut the potatoes in half then they cook much better and are crispy, maybe you could do it again sometime, but like you oven roast spuds cooked in fat is the best, try beef dripping, spuds are amazing cooked in beef dripping, proper roast spuds 👍
You have been using the Air fryer for a while now, what's your views on the oil used when cooking, many are now saying use Avocado oil, because of the high flash point, I have not noticed any smoke or hint of burning with any oil, I normally use just a slight hint of cooking oil if required, perhaps I am not using as much as others, but no smoke coming from anything I have cooked.
Hiya, I tried tinned spuds in the normal oven once in oil and they exploded too, made a rite flipping mess! Can't beat proper spuds as roasties tho and as u say in goose fat they're scrummy. We save them till Christmas
yes far better like that done in the oven.
@Bald Foodie Guy - Try drying the potatoes more on tissue or a tea towel for longer, then liberally cover them in seasoning and oil in a bowl before air frying them. The drier the potato the better and fluffier the results that don't explode. Keep basting the potatoes every couple of minutes, as they have a tendency to dry out quickly and not brown, easy as dry fryers don't lose heat when opened, like normal ovens. I agree the larger the tinned potato, the better the overall results. Alternatively blanch cook some pealed and quartered potatoes (approx 10 mins) and allow them to steam dry on paper towels. Then brown as before in an air fryer. 👍🏻
Just my opinion, I could be doing it wrong. 😉

@@BaldFoodieGuy ah I see x
I know which group you got this off ;) And yeh, pink salt is just that, pink, the amount you would have to eat to have any benefit of extra minerals etc would kill you due to the sodium content, so it's just pink, salt lol :P They look great, I have wanted to try this since I saw it a few years ago but haven't had the opportunity, will be doing soon!!!! I think you needed to do them for another 10 minutes or so, they need crisping!
Got 2 tins of the potatoes in cupboard, I use them in Casseroles with frozen casserole mix from Farmfoods lovely with chicken

@@BaldFoodieGuy thanks am ok just tired catching up on washing up then have dinner then rest
I always rough up the outside of the potatoes, then spray them with oil and season.
I always slice mine when I fry them. They need more cooking than that. They should have turned brown. Those potatoes are great in a stew. Sainsbury tinned potatoes don't explode.
thanks for the tips
