Can Canned Potatoes Actually Be GOOD....?

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?

[@Sam-gw5pl]

Spam

[@berylgilligan9287]

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 😁

[@two-many-cats]

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.

[@carlshorter3820]

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.

[@tedslaughter169]

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!

[@Adam_Garratt]

Thank you very much! Very kind words my friend

[@amsodoneworkingnow1978]

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

[@ledzep331]

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.

[@Adam_Garratt]

I love tinned sardines. Used to have them on toast back in my bedsit days. Was filling and tasted good

[@helenweatherby1694]

Just the sort of thing I like to whip up on a Saturday evening. I’d do it in the air fryer.

[@christophervogt7456]

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! 👍

Cracking channel Adam that I only stumbled across a couple of weeks ago. Nice to see real meals with no pretensions, brilliant.

[@Adam_Garratt]

Welcome to the family Andrew!

[@SuperLittleTyke]

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 KZbin 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.

[@petelumley1578]

Excellent idea using tinned produce, and if you can find them in the reduced section, even better 😊

[@Adam_Garratt]

Love a good dented tin bargain

[@Christopher.E.Souter]

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! 😋👍🏻

[@Adam_Garratt]

I love potato salad. I can't deal with shop bought though, as they are nearly always bland as hell.

[@Christopher.E.Souter]

@@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. 😋

[@kaydavis6752]

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.

[@whu58]

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

Great idea Jan!

[@annalieff-saxby568]

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.

[@allisonbusher1360]

Meal prep was so quick I will be trying this recipe thank you

[@Adam_Garratt]

Bit of chopping and slicing and you're away

[@jonathangreenwood793]

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!

[@Adam_Garratt]

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

Absolute genius - I've got a tin of tinned spuds lurking at the back of the cupboard from a raffle (and they are lurking!

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

[@margaretsmith9133]

I use Lidl tinned spuds I must have 12 cans in a my kitchen at 37p you can’t go wrong great video.

[@neilpickup237]

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.

[@Adam_Garratt]

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.

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?

[@Adam_Garratt]

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.

[@MrChristbait]

@@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.

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.

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 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.

Interesting. One thing you could try to replicate is Sainsbury's bacon brunch. I bought a packet of this meal for the emergency food store on my allotment. We ate it about a month ago as it had passed it's use by date and it was surprisingly good. Lots of potato, a bit of invisible onion and not many cheap bacon bits. I tried to buy more, but they have stopped making it! A web search shows that lots of people liked this meal in a sealled long life pouch. Personally I like fresh food, am moving to 5 year crop rotation so have bought 15 buckets at a cost of £63.90 plus lots of compost min £31.80 (depending on how much home made compost I have) and hope to grow 30 seed potatoes this year.

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
