You forgot to mention scalloped potatoes and ham! I enjoy slices of onions in mine, too. Yum!

Comfort food at its best!

The French call this dish Pommes De Terre Lyonaisse. It really is simple and as the French say, so Ooh-la-la!

1⁄4cup shallot, finely minced
1 garlic clove
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb small potatoes
1 cup fresh chicken stock or 1 cup fresh vegetable stock
1 sprig lemon thyme
1sprig rosemary
salt
fresh ground black pepper.

In a large pan, saute the shallots and garlic slowly in the olive oil until caramelized.
Add the potatoes, stock, and some salt and pepper.
Cover pan and simmer slowly until the potatoes are tender, approximately 1/2 hour.
Arrange on serving platter. Remove herb leaves from stalks and garnish the potatoes.
Ooh-la-la!

The best are those just harvested at the Farmers’ Market. Usually a German Butter Potato.

In the winter when there’re blah, I’ll add white pepper to mashed potatoes.

Only one way.
~I open the container of instant mashed potatoes
~I add almond milk, I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray
~and onion and basil cream cheese (my own concoction)
~mix and microwave for about a minute and a half
You'd be surprised how much like mashed potatoes made from scratch it tastes. I never measure the ingredients.

I do like potato pancakes. Golden cooks them for me. Really..I heat them in my NuWave oven for about 10 minutes.

I rarely make regular potatoes but do cook sweet potatoes. I like them baked best.

I forgot once in awhile I will go to BK and have a small fries but usually don't eat them all.

I can't live without my potatoes! Must have them, just like I must have water...

Back to bed now...

There is just something about potatoes. They give me energy. I think it must be the starch. And I'm a carb person anyway.

I do mashed with real butter, sometimes crispy “smashed,” but my comfort bowl is a silky potato-leek. I use Yukon Golds and rinse the leeks well for no grit. This is the one I follow: classic potato-leek soup.

In grade school we were asked to name a food we'd want if we were stranded on an island. Everyone said, pizza, burgers, PB & J etc
I said Potatoes. The teacher was surprised and asked why. Cause they can be made into so many things of course! DUH!

None. l am a Hawaii girl and lean on the Asian side. No matter where we lived because of my dad (who was ethnically Japanese and in the military) we always ate rice, never potatoes. no matter where we were transferred to.

Once l did cook scallop potatoes because l liked thr guy who was coming to dinner.

we love most potatoes except not sweet potatoes. Is that really a potato anyway? Too lazy to ask google or alexa.

Sweet potatoes aren’t actually “potatoes,” dear, they’re a different plant (morning-glory family) and we eat the sweet root. Regular potatoes are nightshades and we eat the tuber. That’s why they cook and taste so different. When I want the classic kind, I make a cozy bowl of creamy potato soup.

Have not cooked any in years.....

Thanks, Sarah sam. I did not know that. Potato soup is a favorite here, too.

I must admit, I have never eaten a sweet potato.

We make potatoes every way accept baked or riced. I think tomorrow I'll make potato pancakes.
They started digging in this area last week. Soon friends will be dropping off some 5 gallon pails or boxes of fresh potatoes. No problem keeping potassium levels up here.

One of my favorite ways to eat potatoes is for breakfast. I bake a potato the night before and put it in the fridge overnight, which, for anyone this would apply to, causes the starch in the potato to become resistant starch, lowering the glycemic impact and adding fiber-like benefits.

Then for breakfast, I slice the potato thinly, add a bit of olive oil to the fry pan, and fry each slice adding a hint of salt, and a generous slake of pepper, cook till it’s brown and crispy on both sides. Serve with eggs and whatever else you like for breakfast. The potatoes are crispy on the outside, soft in the inside. Perfect breakfast fare!

I’ll sometimes serve these for dinner too, as a side.

For awhile now, I've been buying new potatoes, or baby dutch yellow potatoes and lay a few in the crock pot, atop any vegetables I'm steaming, for about 3-4 hours.
