I’ve started cooking some red lentils in some beef stock, adding them and some breakcrumbs to mince meat to pad the meat out a bit (and hide some extra veg in the meat). With meatballs you cant even tell the difference. What are some of your hacks/tips/tricks?
Microwave potatoes with skin on until completely soft (flip once). Break them up to your liking with your knife or fork.
Broken open or cut in larger pieces - Crack a small tin of drained tuna over the top (I like tuna in oil - add mayo if desired), or top with baked beans. Or add cheese and zap again to melt.
Smashed with a fork or cut into smaller pieces - Stir through oil/marge, salt and pepper, and paprika (smoked, sweet or hot) to season the potatoes.
Otherwise fry the pieces until crispy, push them to the side of the pan and fry a couple of eggs to go with them.
