I'm probably gonna do that too

Me too. Potatoes are a huge part of the Swedish food culture, probably because they saved our lives during a great country-wide famine a few hundred years ago. It's not considered a side dish but rather an integrated part of the meal. These days we of course eat pasta and rice too sometimes, but we will never give up the potatoes. Boiling them is still the most common way of cooking them.

The potato was first introduced in Sweden in the 19th century

No, it came to Sweden earlier than that, but it was during the 19th century that it gained widespread popularity.

what about the parsnip?

Dunno.
I'm not too fond of parsnip but it can be good when it's fried together with other root vegetables.

I enjoy a nice parsnip now and again.

What's wrong with parsnips?

I'm soooo there. Do you like red potatoes?

Damn-it I'm hungry again.

Well they arent very nice for a start.

I don't usually do softdrinks alot but when i was in the US recently- i noticed the jumbo sizes of the cokes with meals! Worried about how i was gonna do with such a big thing, i very soon got accustomed to the large size and found myself doing the grossest thing that i would never normally do at home. I'd be thirsty in the middle of the night, and i'd grab for the ginormous Coke, drink it and go back to sleep like it was water! I could never make a habit out of it, but for some reason i found it fun to do this

we grow the most fantstic tasting potatoes ever!
nothing in the store can even hold a candle to how good these taste.
it is tradition on the day you harvest to make potato pancakes for supper.
but a batch of pan fried are more my style

I potato pancakes. My mom will make them after Thanksgiving or Christmas if we have a bunch of mashed potatoes left over. She makes them into patties and fries them in a frying pan with butter.

How do you make them? Just diced potato, seasoning & a little egg to hold it together? Is there flour involved?

Like I'm gonna make anything but I do love the potato & broccoli pancakes they sell @ whole foods

O.K., I love my pancakes and I love broccoli-but TOGETHER?! HELL NO!

I hope you're kidding It's not a real pancake - it's sorta like a veggie patty...
