Potatoes, how do you eat yours?

crazygal · Post by **crazygal** » Fri Jun 01, 2007 5:54 am

I love roasted, packet mash I prefer to 'real' potatoes too. Not keen on boiled at all unless they are still in their skins and I love jacket/baked pots.

Aint never had a bad tater but Hashed browns has to be the best. Covered in cream gravy of course.

Oh, I love potatoes...mashed, baked..once or twice, scalloped, french fried, etc.

Any old way to cook them, I used to eat them raw when I was a kid!

Potatoes are my favorite food.

Mashed--Prefer real, but I'll eat instant

Baked--Swimming in margarine with salt and pepper

Fried--with or without onion and with ketchup

Fries--With brown gravy and ketchup

Hash browns, scalloped, or cheesy potatoes with ketchup

I love all kinds of potatoes, especially baked ones though. Add some cheese and melted butter, and it's one of the nicest meals in the world!! :-6

White gravy?? Never heard of that before, I always thought of gravy as being the dark brown that I am used too!

To slightly embellish a quote by Ben Franklin: "Beer and potatoes are proof that God loves us and wants us to prosper."

I'll take them any way they come, except perhaps raw, and that's only because I've not had them raw.

I love potatoes any way. Unless they're sweet potatoes. Don't like those.

I like sliced new potatoes fried in butter with oregano. :yh_drool

It's known in the Southern United States as "red-eye gravy". I have not a clue as to why, but it's delicious and very, very bad for you. I suggest ordering it with a table-side angioplasty.

All sorts of ways... you name it... baked, mashed, fried, in cakes, Daphne, scalloped, twice baked...

I've got a whole cookbook just for potatoes in Ontario. I'll have to go through it when I get back and find something I haven't done yet.

I love potaoes. I find the best for chips (french fries) are Maris Piper and also for roasting. Not so good for those of you who are on a diet but I love my roasties done in beef dripping, mmmmmm.

Im a potato guy. I like small red w/butter and parsley or mashed with sour cream mixed in but twice baked are the best of both worlds.

Aunt Bessies frozen roast potatoes, having those tonight.

Lazy but a lot less oily than fresh. Tried mashed potatoes with sour cream?
