FabSwingers.com forum: Best potato dish to serve with steak?

Ok Fabsters

I’m drifting towards mash potato but that’s a bit ‘Meh’, I suppose I could drop some life in it with a few garnishes but again that could be a bit ‘Meh’.

Anyone have any interesting combos?

Other foods with steak? I'm a bit confused. If there's space on the plate then more steak?

Ok as a hypothetical through experiment for research purposes.

Dauphinoise. I like garlic butter on a steak, I can see how that could compliment it.

I’m going with parmentier potatoes cooked in garlic butter, dash of thyme & rosemary. Then finished off under the grill with another glaze of garlic butter and bulbs of garlics situated for an infused finish.

Depends if you want your potatoes crispy or creamy. Chips are my go to(tripple cooked if dining out) but really light but crispy roast pots, creamed spinach or buttered leaks on the side and a good sauce or gravy mmmmmmm

If your mashed potato is “meh”, you’re doing it wrong.

The potato needs to be simple in flavour rather than competing with the steak and confusing the palate.

If you have a decent sauce with the steak then mash is perfect.

I don’t have sauce with my steak. That would overpower the juices of the steak itself.

Yes, I was busy at work.

My choice would be rice with peas cooked together, but any other potato except sweet potato.

Depends how posh you are.

Mashed , roasted or Dauphinoise are the best choices.

Most people eat it with chips though.

Which is boring, unless it's chunky triple cooked rosemary chips.

Now I'm hungry...

Boiled new pots, add nice fried bacon (chopped up) and raw onion, then whack in a load of your best mayo and some German style mustard (or what ever you have to be honest), "season to taste".
