Maybe not a bad potato but, some of the forms could be better. Like certain types of fries are horrible if not cooked right. I don't care for those fries that look like Ruffles potato chips. Those are terrible.
OOOOOH I forgot about potato chips!! Love chips!
 
1.)Baked, refrigerated over night then sliced and fried in bacon fat with sliced onions, a couple eggs on the side and ham or sausage. Breakfast!
2.)Baked, cooled to room temp, remove the meat and mix/blend with your favorite seasoning and some cream to smoothen, topped with cheese and re-heated in an oven until hot serve with a scoop of sour cream (twice baked potato)
 
We've always been a meat & potatoes kind of house, so potatoes done every which way has always been, all in a day's work for me!

My favourite ways to prepare potatoes, on the barbecue wrapped in foil (skin and all), then stuffed with the words (sour cream, bacon bits, dill week, and whatever else we happen to have a hankering for).

Another favourite of mine, oven-naked jo-jo styled potatoes. A little olive oil, an array of added spices, bake according to how big or small the potato chunks are, serve with sour cream and chives/dill. My husband loves them with ketchup and Tobasco!
 
We always buy gold potatoes, like them the best. Just had some for supper with oven grilled Norwegian salmon fillet. We slice them, season them, saute them in olive oil until they're browned on the outside and soft and tender on the inside. Sometimes we just boil them and put some smart balance or light olive oil over them, some parsley too. Once in a blue moon, maybe around the holidays, we'll make some mashed potatoes with butter and milk or cream.
 
I usually bake mine. Do not eat them often, so I usually buy one or two individual russets at a time at the store. A friend said it was silly to not buy them in a bag...but my feeling is, if I buy a 3 or 5 pound bag, and they goy bad, I am wasting my $$,
But I do buy the frozen friend and bake them in the oven. Have a few now and then.

I already got cauliflower casserole planned, with spinach, bacon and a cheese sauce. And I have mashed potatoes, potato pancakes and pan fries in the freezer already. Don't need another spud right now...but I'm gonna add it to the rotation.

Throwing ham in with them makes for a pretty good main course.

For some reason I don't care for ham in scalloped potatoes. Don't know why... I like ham and I like scalloped potatoes. :unsure:
