How do you like your potatoes?

[lxskllr]

Just made a big bowl of fried potatoes and onions with Creole seasoning, and hot sauce. Delicious :^)

 

[gophins72]

all of the above and potato pancakes (latkas?), tater tots, potato soup. pretty much cant think of a potato dish i dont like.

 

[Dr. Zaus]

all || cheesy soup || Ham hash

 

[Modular]

I concur!

I concur with your concurrence.

 

[ahenkel]

anyway but raw.

 

[DaveSimmons]

All of the above, plus:

JoJo Potatoes

 

[Locut0s]

Most of the above. Not really a fan of mashed. Probably my fav would be baked, and fried (french fries, chips, hash you name it).

 

[Locut0s]

Most of the above. I'm not crazy about mashed. My favorite is probably boiled new potatoes, with a bit of black pepper on them, nothing else.

Edit:
I forgot baked. I'm not a huge fan of those either.

I agree with you on mashed. But baked? Something is wrong with you sir!

 

[Dr. Zaus]

instant... I don't like instant of any kind of potato.

 

[bfdd]

i'm with the potatoes are delicious put htem in my mouth group

 

[BurnItDwn]

Best --- fresh cut fries loaded with cheese, chilli, and green onions.
2nd Best -- Cooked around a roast, soaked in delicious meat juices
3rd Best -- Garlic Mashed
4th Best -- Wedges with cheese
5th Best -- Fried sliced
6th Best -- Au Grautin
7th Best -- Boiled
Worst ... Baked ... so dry and boring!

They're ok, just not a favorite. Sometimes they're too dry, and you have to drown them in butter to make them edible. I like them when the inside is moist, and the skin is crispy. I don't know how to make them that way since I never make baked potato, but it's always a treat when I get them that way out :^)

wash the skin throughly then coat it with peanut oil and rub some kosher salt into the skin. From there you bake until ready and add enough cheese, butter and sour cream to make up for it being healthy otherwise.

I'll have to give that a try. My daughter likes baked potatoes pretty well, so she'd dig it, if nothing else.

 

[TheSlamma]

Mashed or baked and keep the swine off em!

 

[zinfamous]

I'll eat them any way, so long as you keep ketchup far, far away from tasty potato goodness.

yeha, I'm missing the boiled option, too, but baked can be super awesome:

cubed new potatoes in baking dish:
400 degree oven

coat top with butter, drizzle olive oil
kosher salt
ground black pepper
maybe some garlic powder
FRESH basil + thyme sprigs on top of potatoes

bake until crisp on outside, soft, cooked in middle

or something like that.
yum.

I am a complete sucker for fries, especially with aioli. I will steal my friends' fries, if necessary. And when I go to a bistro/bar restaurant, I always order something that has fries on.

 

[ElFenix]

i see mashed, but where are 'boiled' and 'stuck in a stew'?

 

[stratking]

Champ. That is all. Everyone else is wrong.

[waggy]

is there a wrong way to do them? if so i haven't found it

 

[bignateyk]

Boiled, Mashed, and stuck in a stew

 

[sjwaste]

The other night, I had some small potatoes, so I boiled them. Part of the meal was duck breast, so after I rendered the fat out of the skin, I put it in a saute pan, got it smoking hot, and put the potatoes in there and smashed with a fork. Didn't move 'em until they had a nice brown crust on the bottom.

Duckfat hash browns. I need to do that again.

I'll take a potato anyway I can get it.

Then bend over, this spud's for you!

But seriously, I'm with you -- I can't think of a method of cooking them I don't like.

Hell, while it's not my first, second, third, or fourth choice, I keep a box of instant mash flakes around for emergency quickies. Easy, rapid preparation, and I throw garlic powder, onion flakes, cayenne, thyme, more butter than the directions call for, and some salt and pepper right in.

It's a double-wide deeeee-light!

But I'm especially down with those who have talked about cutting/cubing and roasting them. My Dad used to do this when he made roast beef and his own Yorkshire pudding for some Sunday meals. Loverly and tastelicious, they were and are.
