I love fried potatos with home-made sausages and onions, lovely! And mashed with butter and pepper, of course being Irish I know lots of potato recipes. I can tell ya that no one here eats instant potatos, we do have a brand of them in the shops "smash" i think its called, its bloody horrible!

i slice them up in french fry length..put them in a pan..dot with butter..and garlic and salt..cover with tinfoil and bake in oven at four hundred till done..they are yummy

If you are stuck making instant potatoes at half a block of cream cheese. I know sounds wierd, but makes them taste more real. :-3

Potatoes are my favorite food. I like them no matter how they are prepared. We usually have real mashed potatoes, but I always have Idaho Spuds brand instant on hand for when I'm in a hurry.

The Swiss have an exciting variation of grated potato with cheese called rosti. It's well worth the small extra effort of preparation.

oh I love rosti's

they are nice if you use them as a base then add a fillet steak and caramelised onions and mushrooms and a dollop of mayo:p

I couldnt live without potato

Mashed, roasted, boiled..love em all:p

nice if you dice them into small chunks, pre boil to soften then fry with onions, mushrooms and smokey bacon.

I also love potato gratin dauphinois

1 garlic clove

50 grams of butter

12 medium sized waxy potatoes

salt

freshly ground black pepper

grated nutmeg

2 eggs

50 cl milk [2cups]

2 tablespoons of double cream

Preheat oven to 170c or 325f gas3

Peel and cut the garlic in half and rub round a ovenproof dish then grease the dish with a little butter

Peel the potatoes wash and dry them cut into very thin slices. Make a layer of potatoes in the bottom of the dish overlapping the slices and season with a little salt,pepper and nutmeg Continue building up layers of potatoes seasoning each layer.

Whisk lightly together the milk,eggs and cream then pour over the potatoes top with knobs of butter

Bake in the centre of the oven for about 1 hour if the top begins to brown to much, cover with foil

I love potatoes any way....:yh_drool

roast potatoes with garlic, herbs and olive oil are one of my most favorite. :-6

I made mashed potatoes last night with red potatoes and I put a little curry powder in them for a small kick. I topped them with cream of mushroom gravey that I sauteed with red onions! mmmm.

My mom taught me to make "Potatoes in the jacket". You boil a couple of potatoes with the skins on until they're soft enough to put a fork into. Take them out of the water & peel off the skins. Cut up in a bowl & add milk, butter, salt & pepper. Then, enjoy! It's kind of like a potato soup. YUMMMM!!

Seriously, I dont know how you people live with yourselves.
