When we fancy a roast dinner, but don't feel like cooking from scratch, we always give our trusted Aunt Bessie a call. This clever lady has produced a full range of cook from frozen foods, which are all very well priced! Using her foods, we can be sat at the table within 45 minutes, the potatoes are no exception, just throw them in the oven, and they come out looking not much different from home made. These are perfect for people like us, we can come in from work, have a dig in the freezer and find these, no peeling, chopping or washing involved, straight from freezer to the oven, simple as that! We hate making roasts from scratch, we ...  Read the complete review

I'm never one to 'blow my own trumpet' but over the years many people have commented on how good my home-made roast potatoes look & taste so I feel guilty & lazy if I don't prepare them from scratch. However I was tempted to buy a bag when I got sent a booklet of money-off vouchers from Iceland last month which included 50p off a 907g bag of Aunt Bessie's Roast potatoes. I paid just £1 for the bag - just a standard bag as shown in the picture - without the frills around the edges! It's pretty strong packaging & I needed a pair of scissors instead of just ripping the bag open. Phew! - hard work done! - all I needed to do now was to pop in a ...  Read the complete review

I love a good roast dinner, but as we all know time can be somewhat limited within the working week, so as much as I do try and prepare one from scratch, sometimes I have to admit I do cheat and use Aunt Bessies Homestyle Roast Potatoes instead of preparing my own from scratch. Aunt Bessies Roast Potatoes come in a large bag which is suitable for home freezing, so are a great product to keep in the freezer in case of emergencies. The potatoes inside the bag come in all different shapes and sizes like you would get if you prepared your own so they look pretty authentic too. I used to buy supermarkets own branded roast potatoes but found they tasted a bit ...  Read the complete review

I sometimes cook Sunday dinner for my family but I'm quite a novice cook so am not very good at getting everything cooked all at the same time yet even though I can usually get all the seperate things cooked nice it's just that some of the things might be cold by the time the rest of the meal is done! Last week I brought Aunt Bessies roast potatoes because I wanted everything to be just right and I knew I'd be able to get my timings right with such straight forward cooking instructions. They are proper nice and even though you can tell they're not home made they're still dead tasty and are lovely and fluffy inside. Before you cook them they feel ...  Read the complete review

There is a strange sense of shame attached to what I'm about to write - most of us are time pressed these days but I still feel pressure to cook from my family from scratch. However, when I saw the Aunt Bessie's Roast Potatoes in the £1 end of aisle display at Tescos, I thought 'just this once'. So I cooked them up on a busy evening with left over roast chicken breast, vegetables and gravy and served them up with as innocent look as I could muster. I expected my family to eat them up without a query but I was quite intrigued as to how they would come up. They had taken just half an hour in the oven and they looked lovely and crispy on the ...  Read the complete review
