Dutch term or phrase: Gebakken krielaardappeltjes met kruiden
Dutch to English (U.K. English)


“Gebakken krielaardappeltjes met kruiden” is a term that was originally posted to the Spanish to English forum and was originally translated from Dutch into English as “Baked potato with herbs tailings”. “Tailings”, although it may exist, is to the best of my knowledge a rather uncommon term, and I believe deals more with a form of food preparation (i.e. cutting and tailing). Would a correct rendering of the phrase in question be “small baked potato with herbs” or something a little more exotic such as “new potatoes with herb seasoning?” or does “tailings” merely refer to the “garnish”.

I am trying to ascertain what the correct English version really is for Gebakken krielaardappeltjes met kruiden. Unfortunately, I do not speak or understand Dutch, so UK English please!

Many thanks in advance.

Asker: Many thanks Wanda. Your input has certainly helped to dispel the doubts concerning the term as "tailings" did not sound right at all! Again, bless you. Thank you so much.

pan fried herbed baby potatoes


Explanation:
pan fried voor in de koekepan gebakken aardappels. Roasted potatoes zijn in de oven gebakken aardappels (meestal samen met een roast waardoor ze in het braadvet bakken en er dus er wel ook goudbruin uitzien).

Fried alleen kan ook deep-fried betekenen.

In mijn Engelstalig potato kookboek staan meerdere recepten met 'herbed potatoes' (bijhzonder lekker trouwens!)

Misschien zelfs nog beter en consistenter met de feedback op op de vraag over gekookte krielaardappeltjes:

pan fried herbed baby new potatoes.

Wel een mond vol. Een lekkere mond vol.

Had overlooked the fact that the answer should be in English. In short:
Pan fried is essential hier to include to distinguish from (deep) frying and roasting and baking.

Herbed potatoes is a good way of expressing the added herbs.

Baby new potatoes - see the feedback on the other Kudoz question about these potatoes.

Together: pan fried herbed baby new potates.

In answer to your note: sounds good to me too! Herbed can mean any herbes as specified in the recipe. One could also consider : 'herbed pan fried baby new potatoes' to confuse even more ;-). Are you going to try out the recipe at all??????

Asker: Hi Tineke. It is okay, I was able to understand the gist. Thanks so much (smiley face!)

Asker: But rather than "pan fried herbed baby new potates" would it not be better to say pan-fried baby new potatoes with herbs. As a native English-speaker, it sounds a bit odd to say pan-fried herbed.... (as by herbs, I assume it runs the gamut, whether it is parsley, basil, cilantro and many others?

Asker: Dear Tineke: Thank you for the additional information. I believe for years, I have made pan-fried potatoes (although not new potatoes) using olive oil & butter, with chopped onions, and herbs and occasionallyadditng bacon bits - a variation! (but boiling the potatoes first and cubing, and then pan-frying!) - delicious!!!

Asker: Oh! and don´t forget the garlic!!!
