The Humble Potato

[Furryanimal]

What is your favourite way to eat them?

 

[C'est Moi]

ANY way. I love 'taters. I suppose baked & loaded or scalloped are my favorites, though.

 

[Capt Lightning]

Almost any way depending on what they're being served with. I enjoy cooking Potatoes Dauphinoise or Boulangeres.

 

[Aunt Bea]

Baked, fried, boiled, mashed, scalloped, ...

Wow! Fancy fancy. I had to look up these dishes as I had never heard of them before but they are quite rich.
Mid like to make something extra special for our thanksgiving this weekend.

I love potatoes also and what I make greatly depends on what I’m having it with.

 

[Wren]

Well roasted, mashed or baked, I never eat just plain boiled unless it’s new potato’s with lots of butter

 

[Fyrefox]

I'm a French fry freak, preferably cooked to a golden brown!

 

[moviequeen1]

baked and mashed

 

[Macfan]

Scalloped, baked, smashed, French Fries, tater tots, string, chips. You know, I'm hard pressed to think of a tater I don't like? I guess I'd have to say my least favorite is raw . Don...

 

[Pappy]

Sliced thin and fried in a frying pan. Add some ketchup and yum...

 

[RadishRose]

Any way at all. I do love potatoes gratin, French fries and potato salad, but honestly I love them any way they are cooked!

 

[Gary O']

What is your favourite way to eat them?

Any way at all

Yet to turn one away


Over baked, burnt skin being the best part, I guess, is my fav

Butter is required

Salt, much pepper are also musts

Plate, fork...optional

 

[Brent Stangel]

Potato soup that my mom used to make. I could eat a staggering amount, hot or cold.

[dkay]

Oh glorious potato, how do I love thee?
I love thee:
creamed, fried, hash browned, souped, in stews, casseroled, french fried, chipped, mashed, baked, scalloped, cheesed, chived, garlicy, burritoed...why sometimes I even like them fermented just right and turned into vodka.

 

[Falcon]

Any way but raw. One of my faves is baked and topped with sour cream and cheese.

I have to fight with myself to close thee potato chip bag !

 

[AprilT]

Mashed, baked with butter, sour cream and chives. I also really like the lightly cooked up in oil with onions, I could put away way too many potatoes when sliced up cooked this method, so not something I do more than twice a year, nor do I eat potatoes probably no more than once a month if at all that much.

They just don't agree with my stomach anymore. But not I'm craving some potatoes cooked up with onions, so I think my second time this year will be coming up real soon. :yes:

 

[gennie]

Good any way but favorite is little red ones, boiled until soft and then oven baked with lots of butter. Outside crisp, inside soft like baked. Needs a little salt and lots of fresh ground pepper.

 

[C'est Moi]

I had hash browns for breakfast this morning. Yum-mie!!

 

[RadishRose]

Who started this? I went to the store for a few things and just HAD to pick up a bag of Kettle Cooked Lay's chips, which I haven't bought in over a year!!!! Dang.

 

[treeguy64]

Cubed and cooked up in a skillet, tossed until they're a nice brown with a crispy outer layer. Have a ramekin of pureed tomato by their side, in a plastic basket, with a liner of waxed paper. Oh baby! Also, mashed with a tofu, tamari, tahini sauce on the side.

 

[Pappy]

Hash browns cooked up real crispy. A breakfast joint we go to down south makes them perfect. Add ketchup, or not.
