1 Boiled: This is correct. "To boil" is to heat water until it starts to bubble and change from a liquid to a gas. Lots of foods, such as rice, vegetables and potatoes(!) are cooked by boiling. Example: These boiled potatoes are still hard - I think you should have BOILED them for longer!
1 Fried: Fried potatoes are cooked in oil in a saucepan.
1 Roasted: Roasted potatoes (more commonly known as "roast potatoes") are cooked in the oven.
1 Mashed: Ok, mashed potatoes are cooked in water, but this doesn't turn them in to mash! They need to be beaten, just like you for getting the wrong answer!
2 Roasted: This is correct. "To roast" is to cook in the oven. Example: A turkey takes 4 hours to ROAST in the oven. Roasted potatoes are officially the most delicious food in the universe. Note: sometimes we just say "roast" potatoes (but they are still just as tasty!).
2 Fried: Fried potatoes are cooked in oil in a saucepan.
2 Boiled: Boiled potatoes are cooked in boiling water.
2 Mashed: Mashed potatoes are beaten or mixed until they are soft.
3 Fried: This is correct. Fried food is cooked in hot fat or oil (normally in a pan). Example: Colonel Fabien's FRIED chicken is my favorite French fast food. "Fried" comes from the verb "to fry" (fry/fried/have fried). Example: You need to FRY these potatoes until they become crisp on the outside and soft in the inside. Note: Fried potatoes are often just called "fries" (US) or "chips" (UK).
3 Boiled: Boiled potatoes are cooked in boiling water.
3 Roasted: Roasted potatoes (more commonly known as "roast potatoes") are cooked in the oven.
3 Mashed: Mashed potatoes are beaten or mixed until they are soft.
4 Mashed: Mashed potatoes are usually boiled then beaten with a fork until they are soft. Most people add salt and butter, and if you're feeling naughty - the yellow of an egg! In the conversation, Edward orders a plate of mashed potatoes. Note: "mashed potatoes" is often shortened to "mash"!
4 Fried: Fried potatoes are cooked in oil in a saucepan.
4 Roasted: Roasted potatoes (more commonly known as "roast potatoes") are cooked in the oven.
4 Boiled: Boiled potatoes are cooked in boiling water.

1 fish and chips: "Fish and chips" is the right answer. It's one of Britain's favourite national dishes! "Chips" are potatoes cut into strips and then deep-fried in hot oil. They are called "fries" in the USA. The "fish" in this context is usually cod, which is battered and also deep-fried in hot fat. This quick, tasty food is bought from "chippies"!
1 potato soup: Potato soup rarely involves seafood, thankfully! This is therefore not the right answer here.
1 fish finger sandwich: A fish finger sandwich is food eaten mostly by children, involving some long, thin pieces of breaded fish positioned between two slices of bread. I used to eat this with lots of ketchup. It doesn't involve any potato, so isn't the right answer here!
2 jelly: "Jelly" is the right answer. "Jelly" is a gelatinous dessert often served at children's parties. In the USA, it is referred to as "jello". Jelly is usually fruit-flavoured. Example: "When I was a child, I only ate jelly".
2 ice cream: Ice cream is not "very wobbly". It is not gelatinous enough to be the right answer here.
2 baked apple and custard: A "baked apple" is one which has been cooked in the oven with sugar and spices such as cinnamon. It's very tasty! "Custard" is a pale yellow, vanilla-flavoured sweet sauce. Neither is "very wobbly".
3 full English breakfast: The full English breakfast is quite special! It includes lots of fried meat, eggs, and often tomatoes, mushrooms, or baked beans. Only those with a very strong stomach can eat this in the morning! Example: "When I visited Britain, I ate a full English breakfast every morning. Now I'm very fat".
3 egg salad cream: "Egg salad cream" probably consists of a hard-boiled chicken egg, served with a mayonnaise-like sauce. This is not the right answer here.
3 Bangers and mash: "Bangers" are sausages, and "mash" is mashed potato. This is not the right answer here.
