me too!

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.

Latkes

Next I'm going to try a dogs face

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.






Tarragon potatoes

1 large onion, chopped.
1 Tbs peanut oil.
3 large potatoes, sliced as in scalloped potatoes.
1 bay leaf.
2 Tbs balsamic vinegar.
Pinch of cayenne.
1 Tbs chopped fresh tarragon.
1\2 cup water.

Saute onion in oil in skillet until transparent.
Add potatoes and sauté for 1 minute.
Add water and other ingredients and simmer with lid on for 30 minutes.
Remove and discard bay leaf.

Serve and garnish with fresh parsley.

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...

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!

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

I love roasted potatoes, they are the best!

Twice baked potatoes are goooood.

I pretty much like potatoes any way you can make them. Potato soup is really good too. I like how you can put different things in it: bacon, ham, cheese.

I love latkes! Some people call them "potato pancakes" over here in the U.S., but it seems to be the same thing as latkes (just a different name).

ZombieKitten said:

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)'

OMG Red Potatoes!!!!!

This thread is making me REALLY hungry

I like to mash my 'taters with a load of butter, cream, milk and white pepper

Dewrede said:

my mum never made me that

NDRU said:

I might still make these tonight they look sooooo yummy

Mach said:

This is my never fail side dish for my family. They never get old in my house.







But my favorite is mashed potato's with butter, cheddar cheese, paprika, salt and pepper.

Oh and if I am out to breakfast, I love to order hashbrowns or cottage fries with my eggs. !!

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.

NDRU said:

My mom does that.....sometimes she'll use broccoli in addition to the cheese.
