Cheat’s roast potatoes

Perfectly baked potatoes
Mashed potato
There are so many ways to make the perfect mash. One correct way is to bake the whole potatoes in their skin, slice them in half and scoop out the skin before passing them through a drum sieve and adding lashings of cream and butter. But this is our lazy, easy, foolproof way!
Fried Eggs
For me, the perfect fried egg has crispy edges, a wobbly yolk and no translucent egg white. If you are serving fried eggs with bacon, you can use the same pan to cook both. This little cheat adds delicious flavour to the eggs.
Boiled Eggs
Poached Eggs
Scrambled Eggs
For the best scrambled eggs, you need to be generous with your butter and you need to be patient. You also need to know exactly when to start cooking and where to stop.
