"A classic British potato dish, which is probably traditionally served with roast beef, English mustard and green peas. Adapted from a recipe on a 'Pan or Wok' recipe card from International Masters Publishers. A suggested variation on the card is that these potatoes can also be made with left-over roast potatoes. I've only made this dish with new potatoes, and served it as an accompaniment to grilled or BBQd meat."

Nice and creamy dish. I think I'll cut the thyme back a smidgen next time. I found it just a bit overpowering. Made for Adopt A Tag '09 PRMR. :)

Great potato side dish that accompanied our steaks last night. I cut the recipe down to one serving but it made more than enough for two of us. I varied from the recipe by using store bought refrigerated peeled and sliced potatoes but then followed as written. This is a creamy and rich potato dish. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Made for PRMR.

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority! <br> <br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
