Freyja and Simon were once again in Ballarat over the weekend. Freyja asked if we had any Sunday Lunch plans. We didn't, so I suggested they come around and we could have Sunday Roast Potatoes.
Freyja and I both like roast potatoes a lot, so it seemed like a good plan.
I contacted Lindsey and Ian and asked if they fancied joining us for a Sunday Roast Potato Party. They did indeed fancy it.
And it was genius. I can't imagine why I have never thought about it before. If you invite people around for a Roast Potato Party, pretty much the only thing you are obliged to provide is a large platter filled with roast potatoes. Nothing else has been offered, so nothing else has to be on the table!! All I had to do was to peel a mountain of potatoes (the potatoes I had to hand needed to be peeled, or I might not have bothered with that step), cut them into sensibly sized pieces, put them in a large roasting tray with some oil and put that in the oven - and let them get on with it.
I did, of course, provide other things, so the roast potatoes could bask in their potatoey magnificence. I made a platter of green vegetables in a "cheezy" sauce made with oat milk, corn flour and nutritional yeast. We had spiralised zucchini and carrots, which I found ready spiralised in the IGA, in a tomato sauce. I would have added olives but some amongst us are not fans, so I served the olives in a separate small dish.
I had some vegan Christmas munchy treats that I had found in Coles; I served them too as a taste test for Christmas. Very tasty. I'll try and get more for Christmas feasting.
We had summer fruit with chocolate sauce after - mango, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries, since you ask.
But mostly we had roast potatoes.
It was great!
