POTATO ASH in a GIANT YORKSHIRE Pudding

- Today, we are making a fantastic filling meal POTATO ASH in a GIANT YORKSHIRE Pudding.
Potato Ash, NOT Hash, is a humble dish deeply rooted in British culinary history, particularly in the Midlands and Northern England industrial regions. Its origins are closely tied to working-class communities, where it became a staple meal due to its simplicity, affordability, and ability to feed large families with minimal ingredients.
Potato Ash likely emerged during the 19th century, when many families in the industrial North were living in challenging economic conditions. The dish was developed out of necessity, utilising cheap, readily available ingredients like potatoes and onions. These ingredients were often cooked together in a single pot, over an open fire or in the ashes of a hearth, giving the dish its name.
The "ash" in Potato Ash refers to this cooking method, in which the pot is placed in the embers (or ashes) of a fire to simmer slowly. This slow-cooking method allows the flavours to meld together and the potatoes to break down, creating a thick, hearty stew that could sustain a family throughout the day.
It reflects the resilience and resourcefulness of the communities that relied on it. In areas where meat was scarce or expensive, this dish provided sustenance with minimal cost. Often compared to other one-pot dishes like "lobscouse" or "stew," which served similar purposes in different parts of the UK and Europe.
Over time, variations of Potato Ash emerged, with some families adding meat like corned beef or bacon when they could afford it or incorporating other vegetables like carrots to stretch the meal further. Despite these variations, the dish's essence remained the same: a simple, nourishing meal that could be made with whatever was on hand.
While Potato Ash may not be as commonly made today, it remains a cherished part of British culinary heritage. Some households still make it.
In a broader sense, Potato Ash symbolizes how food can tell the story of a people, their struggles, and their ingenuity in the face of hardship. It reminds us that some of the most enduring dishes come from the simplest origins.

Born and still living on the Canadian prairies I’ve been interested in British culture forever. My knowledge comes from music, books, movies, tv shows and so on. I’ve never heard of ash, or have forgotten about it if I have, so thanks for being part of my education. I really enjoy your videos and recipes.
Wow! Thank you. Best, Rik
Yes, I agree, Its fun learning all about local dishes and his variety of recipes is astounding.
I'm starving now I'm going to the kitchen to get get cracking on dinner. Too hot for stew today but I'll be trying a vegetarian version of this great looking recipe .Thinking I can chop vegetarian frankfurters in there or quorn mince maybe ? Thank you Rik 😊
I'm so grateful for this channel's introduction to British cooking and his relaxed approach to it.
Thank you. Appreciated. Best, Rik
Brings back lovely memories of my mum's and nan's tatie ash 😁
Fantastic! Thank you. Best, Rik
This is why you are The Rikmeister! 👌 what a dish! pure comfort food
Cheers, Dan. Aye its a cracker! Thank you. Best, Rik
The ever versatile Yorkshire pudding :).
Thank you. Best, Rik
Rik, I was brought up on this , it's my all time favourite ❤
Thank you. I absolutely love it too! Best, Rik
My childhood right there Rik. I used to go to the market with mum on a saturday morning about 6am to get the meat ,fish & veggies ert for the week.
This was our saturday tea ,mum would add a tin of that famous brand oxtail soup into it, to make it taste a little luxurious.
Brought a tear to my eye 😢, So many of our memories are connected to food...
Bless you for this little reminder.🙏.
Yes they are indeed! Good memories! Thank you. Best, Rik
Now, you're whistling Dixie. I love meals like this. I've never heard of it. I'm going to give a go. I'll use Mince x
These old classics are just the best! Anything like this has my name on it - Love all comfort food! Mince good choice, Liz. Thank you. Best, Rik
I am really interested in the British and English culture for a long time too. I love seeing recipes from England and learning about the different foods that are eaten in England. I just really love this channel so much
Thank you. Appreciated. Best, Rik
We often had this when we were kids mam used to put suet dumplings in it, honestly Rik it was delicious. We were a family of 8 and poor but we didn't go hungry thanks to dishes like this. Thanks my friend 👍
Sounds amazing! Yes many made do and. These old time recipes are marvelous for keeping a family going. Thank you. Best, Rik
The English side of my family was from the Midlands but I've never heard of or seen this one. Always fun to learn something new.
Thank you. Best, Rik
fanTAStic for sure
Oh my
I only use a traditional oven with no microwave in my life ever I’m 84 that’s why -so I can’t go the way you have but I can take your tip and do a giant pop over. Oh that’s so gorgeous my DEAR goodness thank you.
Fantastic! I would love to cook with you; your knowledge will be excellent. The oven used here is an air fryer. Thank you. Best, Rik
Hes not using a microwave love, its an air fryer. Its like a mini electric oven but with more air flow.. 😃
@@sarahboardman1337 Thank you. Best, Rik
My Gran, from Manchester, always had a pan of tatie ash on her stove. She made hers with a cut of beef called ‘skirt.’
It sometimes had a pastry topping. It was delicious!
Thank you for bringing back those happy memories ❤
Thank you. Best, Rik
Mine as well. She made Tater ash , using skirt or corned beef ash. Comfort food!
Same. We have it with either dumplings or on pancakes and it’s still my favourite food. It used to feed all of us kids - siblings and cousins - and aunties and uncles, every weekend.
Looks so good and as always we get a wonderful, enriching history lesson! Thank you, Rik! 😎
Thank you. Best, Rik
Dear Sir!
What beauties!
Your audio is great hearing the vegetables cook!!
Great idea for those on a soft diet!
Your Awesome!

Thank you. Best, Rik
Perfect winter warmer. Brilliant. I’m definitely cooking this in the colder weather! Thank you Rik. 💕
Thank you. Best, Rik
Yet again you have done it Rik❤. My Spanish family are mad
about Yorkshiree puddings. They ask me to make buñuelos, or madelanas Yorkshire 😂. Will defo be making this!
Thank you. Hope you all enjoy. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef por su puesto ... of course 💕
Beautiful! Thank you Rik! 🧡
Thank you. Appreciated. Best, Rik
I love to see old recipes of things I've never seen before. Thanks Rik!
Thank you. Best, Rik
My mother came from Sussex and she made a dish quite similar to this and she called it “”strings”….. always delicious.! Oh, the memories. Thanks.
Sounds great! Thank you. Best, Rik
I think it’s beautiful the way that rises .
Thank you. Best, Rik
In West Cumberland tattie ash was often eaten on Ash Wednesday.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Can't wait for cold weather to try this one! 🥰❤❤
Hope you like it! Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef Thank you, Rik!
I really appreciate the traditional recipes you share. I might have missed it already but one my Mam used to make was a reguiar in winter, a soup with barley, split peas and lentils, ham etc. We'd have it with chunky bread, so filling and tasty. I never did get her to write it down for me when we came to Canada nearly 60 years ago. Do we get more nostalgic in our old age? Maybe, I'm 80 next year, and hankering after the good memories. 🤗
I think we do! We have more to look back on when older - when we are younger we are always look forward. Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef 😊👍
Delicious stew. Traditional British ingredients. I had no idea how versatile corned beef could be, until I started watching your channel. Good wholesome food. I'm looking forward to making this. Thanks for sharing, Rik.
Thank you. Corned beef has been one of the best versatile meats from way back - it fed soldiers and families alike. Always good to have a tin in. (Emergencies) It is salty, however use less salt or know salt in cooking that works! Best, Rik
Thx guys for filming this and sharing it with us.
Thank you. Best, Rik
That is the epitome of meat-n-potatoes working man eating!! Looks fantastic. I was hoping to see a dash of Worcestershire sauce, because I’d already decided I’d be using it;)
Thank you. Best, Rik
This made me so hungry lol. Have a good weekend 🤗 16:05
Thank you. Enjoy your weekend too! Best, Rik
I'm from the north east and make this regularly Rick. I also add chopped turnip,leak and a tin of mixed beans to mine. I've never had it served in a Yorkshire pudding so I'm going to make this tomorrow instead of a roast.
Fantastic! Thank you. Best, Rik
These are fantastic, I will be making this. I never really thought of a corned beef stew (I know you can use whatever you want). Those puddings are great, and good use for them. I will never again mess around with screaming hot tins of oil thanks to your tip from before. Great old recipe, thanks Rik.
Thank you. Oil pan only needs to be warm. Best, Rik
I remember potato ash, my gran and mum would cook it, in mancheser. I never learnt how to cook it now i know, thanx!
Hope you enjoy. Thank you. Best, Rik
I agree rik, it is a pleasure to be a part of this channel 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
Yes I'm very pleased you are here! Thank you. Best, Rik
PHROAARR that looks mega 💕
Thank you. Best, Rik
Yummy
Thank you. Best, Rik
I’m transfixed and drooling. So much for my diet
Thank you. Best, Rik
Malcolm is a huge fan of stodge and likes tinned corned beef. Maybe I can use this as a bribe to get some stuff around the house done.
🤣
Ha ha ha, try and bribe with this he might sleep! Thank you. Best, Rik
Fantastic ❤ I can’t wait to try this. ❤our American pot pies is too much crust.
Thank you. Best, Rik
We make this into a pot pie as well. You just put shortcrust pastry on top of the pan and put it in the oven. Or we have it with suet dumplings or pancakes, if we don’t have yorkshires. All ways are delicious.
Born in the Midlands but this is a new one for me but it looks very good and well worth doing myself in the winter.
Thank you. Best, Rik
I’m going to try this weekend…. Thanks again Rik
Hope you enjoy. Thank you. Best, Rik
Super duper recipe for tea - lovely 😊. I'm gonna try mince in mine
Hope you enjoy. Thank you. Best, Rik
A great winter comfort meal
Thank you. Best, Rik
Really appreciate the way you put the ingredients in the video description.... super helpful, and no need to open a link. Many thanks 👍
Agreed! Thank you. Best, Rik
It is making me hungry.
Thank you. Best, Rik
What a great meal!! So easy and filling, this is coming to my table soon!!!
Hope you enjoy. Thank you. Best, Rik
I have all these ingredients so might try this today. Sadly corn beef and other canned meats are expensive now here in Australia 🇦🇺 but I try to buy a few extra cans of anything on pension day. (Since lockdown I decided I was never going through a low pantry ever again) . Nearly the end of spring here so I'll give it a go, still haven't worked up the courage to cook Yorkshire pudding, maybe today is the day👍💜
You got this! Don't listen to the tosh of screaming hot fat and ovens - warm fat in the oven the Yorkies rise like a cake - not dangerous! Thank you. Best, Rik
This one as all of your videos is brilliant, I wish I could be there to share a meal. I might be trying this one. Ty
I would gladly share. Thank you. Best, Rik
That’s such a visual and warming dish, oh my goodness I bet it tasted lovely. Slurp! 😋. Sharing recipes is like sharing love. We want other people to enjoy food♥️ thank you Rik. 🙌🏼♥️
Thank you so much 🤗Best, Rik
Lovely comfort food, particularly for those on a budget. 👍
Yes indeed! Thank you. Best, Rik
Looks delicious.I'd have a chunk of crusty buttered bread with this..Thank you.
Oh Yes! Thank you. Best, Rik
Now that looks like a good old fashioned, tasty, economical, filling, warming meal for for upcoming autumn & winter. Your Yorkshire Puddings always look sensational- I will defo try this as an alternative to my usual tatties & mince.😋 Thanks 🙏 as always for sharing Rik & hope you have a fantastic weekend. 👨🍳👌🫶
Hope you enjoy mate. There is plenty in the pan - I've eaten it a couple of times. Thank you. Best, Rik
❤ that looks incredible ❤
Thank you. Best, Rik
That Yorkshire pud is a thing of beauty! ❤
Agreed! Thank you. Best, Rik
My gran and mum made it with left over lamb or beef.
Yes, great to use up! Thank you. Best, Rik
Growing up my Mam and my Nan used to make Tater ash they used to use shin beef bloody delicious it was . My mouth is watering just thinking back .........Cheers Rik
Great memories! Thank you. Best, Rik

What a great dish for a cold wet day! Love the idea of serving the stew in a delicious giant Yorkshire pudding! Looks absolutely awesome !
Thank you. Best, Rik
I’m drooling here. So yummy! 🤤
Thank you. Best, Rik
I love stew and I love yorkshire pudding 😋
Thank you. Best, Rik
Wow, that looks really good. Who would have thought....giant Yorkshire Puddings. I've never had a small one even, despite having seen you whip them up Rik. I must give this a go. Looks fun.
You got this! Thank you. Best, Rik
I'm definitely making this. Lovely stuff. Also thanks for the bonus Yorkshire Pudding recipe. I'm going to add a bit of garlic to the ash.
Sounds like a plan! Thank you. Best, Rik
That looks delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've never heard of "Potato Ash", before.
Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef You're welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my mum used to make some similar to that which used to cook it like that then drain off the gravy then put it inside some pastry to make it into pasties then put the gravy over the top
Lovely! Thank you. Best, Rik
This is the first time I've ever heard Potato Ash. Hmmmmm. Thanks for explaining what the name means, Rik ❤❤❤
My pleasure!! Its a filling meal with bread and butter, then shoved in a Yorkie is a real filler. Thank you. Best, Rik
Oh, is that what tatie ash is! So nice to know, and beautifully presented.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Looks so delicious. Everything you cook looks yummy
Thank you. Sandy, you can cook everything on this channel. All straightforward recipes all deliver results. I wont waste anyone's time or money on here. Best, Rik
I think this dish must be a bit south of Northumberland and Newcastle. Ive not ever heard of it and I do a lot of traditional cooking like stottie cake, singing hinnies, pan haggerty, etc. It looks delicious and filling. Ideal for a winters day. xx
Thank you. Best, Rik
Mouth watering Rik lovely recipe mate as usual ❤
Thank you. Best, Rik
Ooh, that looks sooooo tasty!
Thank you. Best, Rik
You know Rik as I watch your channel,and terrific recipes,I think my Mother wasn’t your average British cook,she was a very good cook,but I have never seen so many of these older British recipes,and I’m 80,grew up in Birmingham.I think possibly my parents might have eaten these sort of dishes,because I wasn’t much of a cooked dish eater,I loved sandwiches,all sorts,even fruits,and vegetables,as well as eggs,meats,fish,and cheese,even ate both beans,and spaghetti on toast,didn’t like either,but ate them,still don’t like baked beans,but a nice pasta dish is lovely,just no tinned spaghetti on toast😂😂
Growing up - you never realise how good a cook mum's are - I believe they are the true chefs of the world! None of this standing in a line kicking out the same, same everyday! Mum's had to have a different menu everyday- cooking with what they had or could get hold of. That is why the old recipes really appeal to me. Folks turn their noses up these days over the simple foods that have helped create nations. I love them - they might not look as posh on a plate but you know they are good and filling. Thank you. Best, Rik
Gosh, I love this
Good old fashioned food. Thank you. Best, Rik
Excellent recipe.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Proper food! In a YT vodeo! New fan here, unlass a recipe says put in herbs, i daren't. To add herbs to a basic (we call it) corned beef hash, would never of entered my mind and the Yorkshire pudding! What a perfect addition. In my favourites and im off to find out more xxx
Thank you. Best, Rik
"Please, Sir, can I have some more?"
Thank you. Best, Rik
Wow.. looks great Rik!
Thank you. Best, Rik
Oh wow that looks fantastic Rik iv kept meaning to use corned beef in a stew so can’t wait to try this thank you Sunday dinner sorted 👍Amanda xx
A good old fashioned one with a Yorkie - lovely! Thank you. Best, Rik
Anything with corned beef floats my boat Rik , nice one I sometimes stir in a teaspoon of mustard in my batter, just for fun. colour and a bit more flavour.
Thank you. Nice one, mate. Best, Rik
Thank You Mr Rik the Food is Fantastic bringing along with it Happy Memories of Home 🇨🇦🇬🇧💕
Thank you. Best, Rik
This, is still my family favourite and we have only a slight difference in our stew. We still make giant Yorkshire puddings just like yours. Being brought up in Newcastle upon Tyne as a kid, gave us (who cared) a great respect for basic home cooking. We are linked with our heritage in cooking and even to this day we keep the traditions going with what we feed our children and families. Thanks Rik, I can see I family stew coming very soon. Regards from a Geordie Australian.
Magic! Love it! Thank you. Best, Rik
Geordie Canadian here says cheers, I agree. 😊
I love these old recipes, they take me right back. It was my job to mix the Yorkshire pudding on a Sunday.
My favourite was always dumplings though, I must admit, my Mam was a dab hand at them.
I've saved so many of your videos with all the traditional recipes. Thanks so much for sharing them. 👍💖
That looks very delicious ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you. Best, Rik
Absolutely love Yorkshire pudding, this looks incredible. Thanks Rik!
Thank you. Best, Rik
Always superlative! Well don't Rik!
Thank you. Appreciated. Best, Rik
You motivate and inspire Big Man !!
Thanks mate, get cooking. Best, Rik
I'm making this tomorrow for dinner! Yum! This is exactly how my Mam used to make it!❤ thankyou! #yorkshirelasshere 😉
Eh up, good on ya! Thank you. Best, Rik
You could put some Frozen Peas in there. It's a great base recipe. Very Hearty Meal Indeed.
Great idea! Thank you. Best, Rik
A lovely comfort food. As a “Pom”, Yorkshire puddings were had almost every week at our house. For the past 54 years I have lived in Melbourne and it is amazing how the Aussies do not make, or don’t have any success with the Yorkshire pudding, which is so, so easy to make.
Agreed! Thank you. Best, Rik
Looks deliciously fanTAStic, Rik! Thank you for your videos and your encouraging teaching style.
Thank you. Best, Rik
THANK YOU RIK FOR ALWAYS SHARING WITH US 😋♥️
Thank you. Best, Rik
Yes, it is! Absolutely brilliant idea!
Thank you. Best, Rik
I am so making this,love a good ash,with a giant Yorkshire pudding is totally next level though 😋
Hope you enjoy. Thank you. Best, Rik
OMG!! Those are beautiful yorkshires!! I must ask my sister to do up a roast with yorkshires for our next family dinner!!
Thank you. Best, Rik
Nawt wrong with that lovely thing👍🏼❤
Thank you. Best, Rik
That looks sooo good! Just been out to get some corned beef and gonna do this myself. Stunning 👍
