Why don't we do this for our sunday ROAST potatoes?!

[@Dragonlord666x3]

Kerry, I do this with my roast potatoes and also my Yorkshire puddings (homemade aunt bessies LOL), a tip for you, if you spread the potatoes & veggies on a tray (baking tray) then put into freezer until frozen, you can then bag them up and they won't be a big lump and you can literally take them out the freezer and straight into the air fryer (oven) - also means you can make a load and just take out a few if that is all you need.

[@budgetcookinguk]

I'm definitely trying this with the tray, you're the 3rd person to mention it lol. Top idea 😀👍💕I've frozen homemade yorkies before, that works so well. Was a bit worse for wear on the day, so just about managed the basics lol🥳🥂😜

[@maxineb9598]

​​@@budgetcookinguk I do that with a lot of things-- grated block cheese, biscuit dough in lumps ready to bake, homemade sliced bread ( though in heaps of 4 slices

[@amelia2656]

Just got my first air fryer for Christmas. Really enjoying it. Thanks for all the great ideas.

[@artycrafty9209]

Ooooow you have nailed those to perfection Kerry, just mouthwatering! good job I dont live next door! always good to have stuff pre prepped to save making hard work of hard work! Thank you for sharing .

[@kathryng6363]

Happy New Year, Kerry. I freeze my potatoes flat on a tray first and then put them into a plastic food bag so they all stay separate.

[@budgetcookinguk]

Ah Kathryn that's a great idea😀👍💕Happy New Year!!🥳🥳

[@pikricky]

Lovely,who doesn't like a plate of roasters,we used to go to the Carvery in the Carlton Hotel Pretwick and as well as normal road potatoes they had cajun ones as well,they were delicious,I knew the Chef Ian and he told me he roasted them in a spicy oil and he gave me the recipe 1/4 cup of olive oil 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning 2 teaspoons dried thyme or oregano 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Great video Kerry Happy New Year ❤Xx

[@budgetcookinguk]

Oh my lord lord Ricky they sound delicious. I've screenshot this so I can give it a go. Al will love you for this😀👍💕Happy New Year!!🥳🥳 Do you have any snow? It's absolutely freezing here

[@pikricky]

@budgetcookinguk You're welcome Kerry,no snow yet but we've had a severe weather warning of snow for the weekend but it doesn't really get that bad(much to Heidi's disappointment 😂)because we're on the coast with the salt sea winds,it's very heavy frost tho,I had to scrape the windscreen yesterday before heading to the shops ❤️Xx

[@budgetcookinguk]

@pikricky it was absolutely freezing here this morning Ricky, but I did see one shooting star 6am this morning putting the rubbish out - pitch black still. I bet Heidi was disappointed, being on the coast it's a rare thing. We used to live in Frinton and walton on the naze, seaside towns. Frinton is known as gods waiting room the amount of people who move there to retire lol. Was very quiet after living in east london😂 and mild!

[@pikricky]

@@budgetcookinguk The weather up here is so unpredictable,it was 11 degrees on Christmas Eve when I was working but minus 2 on New Years Eve,Heidi just wants to use her sledge,wee soul 💕Xx

[@budgetcookinguk]

@pikricky awww bless her - the boys sledges' have been in the shed for a few years without use!😂

[@thechap999]

My mouth is drooling, fantabulous!

[@budgetcookinguk]

🤤🤤🤤🤤💕💕thank you

[@petrolhead0387]

Looks fantastic, I tried something similar with leftover fat from Lorne Sausage, it really gives the veg an uplifting taste. A lot of home cooks today don't cook in leftover fat and it's becoming a dying method, which is sad really. A lot of flavour in roast dishes is lost when cooking with just oil. I've been considering getting a larger air fryer for these type of dishes, think I'm going to jump for one now.

[@Lorrainealfibobs]

They look amazing. What a brilliant time saver when you get home from work to be greeted by starvin Marvin,s 😂 Thanks again my friend. ❤

[@debbiefuller201]

I always sprinkle a chicken oxo cube over the spuds when i roast them, delicious x

[@budgetcookinguk]

I'm going to try this Debbie, I did stop buying oxo because its blooming expensive in lidl - they sell just a large box at £2.99 (3 quid!) the lidl ones don't crumble like oxo so might treat myself to a small pack of oxo if I spot one on my out n about travels lol👋😄💕

[@janicehartley8525]

Your potatoes always cook beautifully and look so delicious. Happy New Year ❤

[@LorettaWoods-rr7qy]

Hi Kerry, I nearly always have frozen roast potatoes (along with Parsnips and Carrots) in the freezer ready to go for a quick roast. I do the same method as you and par boil them and steam dry them, then when cool (instead of part cooking them at this stage) I separate them so they are not touching each other and place them on a plastic tray that will fit in my freezer. Then when fully frozen I remove them from the tray (they sometimes need a little encouragement to become free, so I twist them or lever them with a spatula if needed) and place them in a zip lock bag and put them back in the freezer ready to cook however many you required straight from the freezer (so basically because you open freeze them first they don't stick together in one clump in the bag).

[@alysoncaddick6344]

I've bought extra goose fat whilst it's still in the shops for roast potatoes. It's hard to beat.

[@trowbridgeist]

Hi There Dear Kerry , So Delicious Yes Roast leg lamb with Roasted Veg my favourite ❤️

[@stellamariesmithson1431]

Looks delicious I put mine on a tray to freeze them bag them. Stops them sticking together.

[@budgetcookinguk]

Going to do this next time Stella 😀💕 top tip👍

[@sandra-bb5xq]

They look delicious, the large air fryer cooks amazing joints and lots of veg. I always save the fat from pork chops, burgers, joints I let it cool and then save it in a small jar which I keep in the fridge then use it for roasties and yorkies.

[@budgetcookinguk]

I do this Sandra especially if I'm not planning to use it the next day. Too good to waste!👋😀💕

[@chrisanten2396]

Because I grow my own potatoes I don’t ever par boil obs the mash I do But ido this with roasted, wedges,chips & mash the mash is scooped out in ice cream scoop frozen on a baking tray approx (3 hrs) then bagged taken out I scoop at a time if needed

Happy New Year Kerry. What a great start. It's down to you that I started roasting my carrots. I've used the meat day but not thought to use bacon fat. I bet it raises them to a whole new level. Definitely giving this a go. Great idea to freeze. See you in 2025 Jen xx

Thank you Jen - aww that's fab I love my roasted carrots, no one else is here, so those carrots were all mine☺️ Happy New Year to you and yours!!🥳🥰🥳🥰

Yeah, freezing does break down the carbs, the same with bread turns them to hard fibre. I've not done this but looks delicious 😋

Hi Kerry you may like to know that freezing your bread also affects the carbs ive been freezing my bread for a few months now ( i live alone and get food delivered every month !) happy new year. I also have a bacon sandwich Saturday and cook sausages on Sunday using the bacon fat , though tomorrow it'll be sizzling succulent singing sausage sandwiches! ....used the bacon on the Turkey lol😅

This is a good to know thank you Bill. Cor love a sausage sarnie (brown sauce) Happy New Year!🥳🥂🥳🥂🥳🥂🥳🥂

Spread the cooked potatoes on a baking tray and freeze them for a couple of hours before transferring them to the bag to freeze fully - they won't stick together x

[@audrey-654]

Hi Kerry Not sure of this information but I read somewhere that the fats in things like your roast potatoes, meats,fish etc interacts with the plastic in the bread bag (for example) and break down the chemical oils in the plastic bag. That’s why that kind of plastic is used for bread. Other bags that are designed for other foods ie meat fish, fats and are labeled as food safe and suitable for freezing. Maybe someone else here might know if that is correct or not.

[@budgetcookinguk]

Interesting, I've just looked this up and if putting hot food in plastic bags such as my bread bag, there is a potential leaching effect of the chemicals. I'm not worried, as my pots etc were barely lukewarm but it's really good to be aware of this. Thank you Audrey!😀👍💕
