I don't eat white potatoes, only sweet ones once in a while.

But when I'm cooking them for other people, I normally roast them in foil with extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and at least a 1/2 cup of fresh cut herbs. If I want to perk them up a bit, I might add garlic cloves or a dash of thai chili flakes.

I like to cut them into wedges with skins on. Coat them with olive oil and fresh lemon juice.
Some times I add fresh rosemary or smoked paprika then I roast the potatoes.

Brilliant thread title.

Oh my, maybe mash them? With some mustard, garlic and/or pepper? :Or roast them?? x 4 million


Food threads.

My mom is no great chef, but she makes twice-baked potatoes which are delicious

It's basically like putting mashed potatoes back in the skin & baking it so the top forms a crust. You can add some bacon, or put cheese & sour cream on top, whatever you like!

Something like this...

You can use them to make art, as in potato prints.

i found this http://en.wikipedia.org/w...to_pancake


'The Swedish version of unbound potato pancakes are called rårakor.[4] When prepared with a batter of wheat flour, milk, egg, and shredded potatoes and fried like thin pancakes, they are called raggmunk, which literally translates as "hairy doughnuts" (the grated potatoes make them look hairy)'

I've been making my own hash browns, lately. Easy, just shred some potatoes & mix with onion, garlic, salt, pepper, & oil, then fry in a patty like a latke.

Serve with bacon, mmm good!

I love baked sweet potatoes w/ butter, cinnamon, & brown sugar. Potatoes just rock in general. I like how sweet potatoes are used like regular white potatoes.....chips, fries, mashed.
