There are *never* enough roast potatoes.  Not if I'm eating dinner,
anyway.

Actually, this is a lie.  On one occasion last year I had Xmas dinner
with friends, & cooked 3.5kg of roast potatoes for 6 of us (as well as
huge stacks of veg, lentil loaf, nut roast, stuffing, etc).  I did,
finally, run out of room before the potatoes were finished, for the
first time in recorded history.  However, we then had a little rest &
watched Monty Python whilst finishing off the rest of the wine, & an
hour or so later I found enough space to polish off the leftovers.

Um.  Possibly, however, I am just a greedy pig.  But, y'know, *roast
potatoes*!

(Pete is currently cooking roast dinner downstairs, with lentil-burgers
as meat-replacement.  Hurrah.)
