Sprinkle them with Chicken salt once you've servred them on the plate. You can buy it in a glass jar - it's a Masterfood product.

Cook them in your microwave, they seem to hold their firmness and taste better even without additional flavourings.

The best Fish and Chip shop in Raglan sprinkles it over their chips "beaker59" and they taste so good - like KFC chips. I asked them what they used and that's where I got the idea from.

I never peel potatoes for boiling but chop into quarters after a light scrub. Boil till just soft, drain. Drizzle good quality olive oil over, and generously sprinkle: smoked garlic salt, fresh ground pepper and ground cardamom. Or just throw in some finely crushed fresh garlic with the olive oil. My kids love their potatoes like this.

Make sure the cooking water is salted generously. I like to cook my potatoes whole, as in peeled but not cut up and also only use enough water to cover. Once cooked I strain the water and put back the potatoes back into hot pot with a good chunk of butter and leave to rest for a bit. add herbs, garlic, chopped chili or whatever you like before serving.

I remember years ago serving them by draining then pouring a can of coconut cream over them.swill around in the pan and then serve.It was nice.Only trouble is I have picky eaters in the family and I'm the only one that likes coconut cream

I never boil potatoes in the first place - always use my electric steamer.They are so much tastier you hardly need to add anything to them. I put a few sprigs of freah mint in the trays while cooking. After competion a few twists of the salt grinder and dash of butter - perfect. Oh - and grow my own,.
