Let's Talk Potatos

[labworm]

Nobody can make placki kartoflane better than I can, my mother's recipe of course.

Polish Potato Pancakes, mine are made thick rather than thin.
A bowl of tomato soup, some sour cream and I am in heaven.

Basic foods we shared with family are sometimes the best one can eat.

I know what I am having for dinner tonight

Why did I throw my potato gun away?

I voted for smashed with skin on but really there is no way I DON'T like 'em.
What do they go with? Why, evrything. Eggs in the morning. Sammiches at lunch. Any meat you and possibly think of for dinner. Baked, Fried, scalloped, mashed, boiled. au-gratin, It just don't matter you can't hurt a potato.

They even make good snack food and appetizers. Shoestring potatos, Tater skins, Tater chips, Tater tots. Perhaps the most edible food item there is.....and all of them are GOOOOOOD!

My son makes mashed taters that are one of the best things I have ever eaten. I asked him what was in them and immediately wished I hadn't. He put in bacon-bacon grease, butter, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions. my lord those were the best tasting taters-I don't even want to think about the fat calories that were in them!!!
He found out early that the girls LOVE a guy who isn't afraid to get in the kitchen and get to cookin' His sisters tell me that he has quite the reputation in that area.

Don't forget the Golabki's

I was never a fan of golumpki (golabki). Cooked cabbage just doesn't do it for me. Besides, this is a potato thread!

"He found out early that the girls LOVE a guy who isn't afraid to get in the kitchen and get to cookin'"

God's own truth. Learned to cook from my Grandpa (lumberjack cook) and Grandma (the camp's baker). Always cooked for my dates and, 25 years later, still most of the family's cooking. Polished things up when I was in grad school==where having cheese on your burger is a hard decision (whether to spend the extra nickel). We had an elk, a large Wyoming mulie, and a wild hog=had to make that do for over 2 years until I graduated!

Here's one I modified from "Mining Camp Potatoes" in the book Real Men Don't Eat Quiche=I call it Lumber Camp Potatoes after my grandpa. Sorta fries and sorta home fries.

Fry one pound of bacon, drain and set aside.Reserve grease.
Slice potatoes (up to 2 pounds or so)=Yukon Gold work the best.About 1/2" thick.
Coarsely dice one yellow onion and the tops of one bunch of green onions.
Toss potatoes in hot bacon fat. Cook until crispy (cover to cook through). Add yellow onions about 1/2 through with a big spoonful of FRESH oregano or home-dried.Add pepper but NO SALT!
Crumble bacon and add just before removing from stove. Toss and garnish with green onion.
Sprinkle sea salt just before serving (Adding salt during cooking will toughen the potatoes and break down the fat.)

Al,
You really need to stop doing this. Since you first posted the balut I have been waking up each morning wondering what's next.

You have shot my diet to heck. I was just staring at a can of sardines for breakfast.

Now potatoes? where will it end?

I am driven by His Eminence. At the moment, I'm thinking up another food thread that should make your day.

Pan-roasted baby reds with porketta. Although today I'm going to turn some left-over smashed potatoes into hash with a little pot roast, a bunch of pork roast and some celery.

 

[cmort666]

I like potatoes and will eat them in just about any fashion, EXCEPT potato salad with egg in it. That's equivalent to a finger down my throat.

Comradski !

 

[carpriver]

I never met a potato I didn't like, but corned beef hash is way good stuff when made from scratch, then there is potato pancakes.

 

[puckforbrains]

With Ramps! Sliced thin and fried in olive oil&crisco with the finely chopped ramps mixed in.

 

[Ogandydancer]
