    It would have to be a giant bowl of buttery mash potato and roasted parsnips!  <3
    Honey roast parsnips! Absolutely :)

    Mash is always the best option. Roasties are fine but I'd go for mash.

    I like how this forum is all about equality...  Until it comes to potatoes! :D 

    Personally, I can't stand mash I'm afraid...can't eat anything soft!  I do like potato waffles though...but not with Christmas dinner haha! :p  Will be Aunt Bessie's Roasts for me on the day...

    The one scent that makes xmas dinner for me has to be the honey roast parsnips though! :) 

    With regards to bringing something myself, I can't make anything but I'll supply the drinks for us teetotallers...  Elderflower Presse anyone? ;)

    There is nothing equal about potatoes @OverlyAnxious. There's a hierarchy with roast potatoes and thick-cut chips reigning supreme.

    It's clear potatoes can divide even the strongest of communities @OverlyAnxious!  :D

    Elderflower Presse sounds lovely!

    I had to look to see if such a thing existed @JenCo and found smashed roasted potatoes which actually look pretty good.  :D Not adding them to my Christmas dinner this year, but might well try them some time!

    This is something I might be able to get behind @JenCo!  :D

    @Adrian_Scope they actually look really good. I'm not cooking Christmas dinner myself this year as going to spend it with my daughter, her partner and future mother in law but i will be trying those in the new year with my roast dinner.

     i will have a go at the mashed roast potatoes. I can't use a peeler because I can't grip it!
