The ultimate 80s party food. Mashed potato wrapped in Devon – and we loved it!
This was the Australian party food of the 1980s. While party pies, sausage rolls, chicken nuggets and fairy bread remained popular into the 2020s, what happened to the glorious Devon Roll?
Served on a plate with a generous helping of tomato sauce, I found these little snacks quite appetizing as a kid. Much fancier than the Devon sandwich and tomato sauce we were also fed then!
If you’re planning an 80’s themed party or just want your kids to experience the joys of your childhood, then these Devon Rolls are a must.

Ready to roll: Making Devon Rolls
Start by peeling and dicing the potatoes before boiling them in salt water until they are soft.
Drain the potatoes and return to the pot.
Add butter and mayonnaise and mash into a potato.
Add two dessert spoons of mashed potatoes in a row in the center of Devon.
Fold one side over the potato and then the other side so that it overlaps the first side.
Pin the overlapping parts of the Devon together with a toothpick.
Stack your Devon rolls on a plate.
Keep in the fridge until serving and then serve with tomato sauce.
