'I love you women,' the mum posted alongside pictures of the bake.

Others said they mix the potato bake with the retailer's broccoli bake to make it more interesting.

'I could eat it all day,' one woman admitted.
'I could easily demolish a whole bag of the broccoli myself, so tasty,' said another.
