When in Indonesia on the way back to NZ I went to a cooking class from a guy in his local warung to learn various paste mixes and how to try and get that same taste as the local food.
He had set up to get you hands on grinding the ingredients by hand then cooking something with them.
No doubt @voodoo has seen these, but I'd love to get my hands on one in NZWorks way better than a European style pestle and mortar.
The rougher granite makes quick work and the shaped pestle is comfortable in the hand.The ones he had were bigger as well so you could really get going on them without flicking everything out the side.
That's cool, I haven't come across one in my Indo travels yet. You've also reminded me, I got given a cooking class voucher by my team at work so should dig that out if I ever get back to Bali!

A little addition to the roast spuds discussion.
I use @MajorRage method and, yes, canola / rapeseed oil - throw in some raw polenta grains at the shaking stage. Extra crunchy crust. Done this way spuds have become a family favourite and I am told (not asked) to add polenta every time now.
Those of you with the mash versing (@booboo ) roast discussion - I also have to do both these days. Difficult bastards all over the place it seems.
Thats a great tip!! How much polenta out of interest? With say enough roast spuds for a family of 4

i love all potato equally. Mashed. Fried. Baked. Roasted. Boiled. Potatoes are the king of foods.
I'm totally onboard with the premise, spuds have always been my "If you could take 1 food to a desert island" choice. One of my favourites is having them for brekkie, cut into little cubes, par boiled, then fried with bacon or pancetta, spring onion, and a few eggs cracked on top of the pile at the end. Heaven!

I ate a meal in Rosses' Point, west of Sligo in Ireland. I wound up with baby potatoes in the stew, scalloped potatoes and fried potatoes. yes, Potatoes three ways.
When I told an Irish friend about this, she said 'what, no mash?"
Conclusion:
- Potatoes are awesome
- Irish are cray cray

@voodoo roast potatoes or mash?
I stayed out of that debate earlier, but I'm 100% roast potatoes. I never make mash unless it's for a fish or shepherd's pie, or bizarrely, for a lemon cake that I made with the kids the other day which was really good!
It's greek style, they looove their roast spuds

leftover roast chicken, roast potatoes all small diced, and some old rice make a great fried rice. Add a few peas and a little onion, cracked an egg or two in at the last minute

@Hooroo Those look awesome, I might make some for our next monthly (after lockdown) potluck. Can you substitute the sour cream? Also I wonder if they'd work with Kumara too?
So long as it is mashed, I don't see why not. 3 cups of mash I should have said.
Surely normal cream would sub in for sour cream, or Crème Fraiche?
and super simple to make!!!

Yeah, I don't eat sour cream so never have it in the house. I might experiment with the kumara this weekend since I'm not in Byron Bay for Bluesfest as I was supposed to be!

Let the mash (Kumara or Spud) cool a bit so it doesn't cook he egg when you mix it all together.
Cook at 200 for 35 mins
