Let's Talk Potatos

[Alnamvet68]

Yes, potatos. Like the egg, the humble potato is served and prepared in a variety of ways, and as an accompaniment with a variety of foods. So, how do you like 'em?

Post your pics, post your recipes, and tell us why you can't live without potatos.

I've got a couple of favorite recipes.

Red Potatoes
Boil about 8 or so red potatoes, skins on.

Drain, plop in a stick of butter, salt and pepper, and mix in about a cup of sour cream.

Mash with a fork and mix everything up well. Great with steak.


Dutch Oven Potatoes
Scrub and slice about 8 or 10 russet potatoes. Leave skins on.
Brown ½ pound of chopped bacon in Dutch oven. Remove bacon and most of the grease.

Add one sliced onion.

Add potatoes, salt and pepper, one cup of sliced mushrooms, garlic, and a little bit of parsley.

Return bacon to oven. Stir to mix everything together.

Then add about ½ can of ginger ale, Sprite, or something similar.

Put the lid on the Dutch oven and cook in the coals for about an hour.

Good with steak, barbecued Dutch oven ribs, or Dutch oven chicken.

Speaking of potato soup, another one of my must have items I requested in my "care package" when I was in the sandbox was vichyssoise.

My favorite way to serve potatoes is on a plate and my favorite way to eat them is with a fork,spoon or my fingers.

I would need

I would need to push 7 buttons. I love them all except potato salad which can be good if made right (No big chunks of cold potatoes)

My favorites aren't listed

Somehow thru oversite, you left vodka off the list for the poll. Got to be the best all-around use for the spud.

Another favorite is lefse. Although I don't claim to be Norskie, they do know how to cook.

Try lefse with cream cheese & smoked salmon. Now that makes the ordinary potato into a tasty treat fit for a king!

I like my potatoes in pierogi form.

Don't forget the Golabki's

Gee, I just realized I could have added to the poll a potato chip choice. Who loves potato chips, and what kind; salt free, specially seasoned, Amish styled thick cuts, kettle cooked, crinkle cut, parchment paper thin, baked....

 

[vytoland]

.....Kugelis.....

This is a Lithuanian dish that my family makes mainly during the holiday seasons..............

potatoes, eggs, bacon, onions, evaporated milk, black pepper. serve with sour cream.

I like them too many ways for me to pick one in the polls. One of my favorite ways to prepare the potato is the twice baked way. You bake the potato, & after it is done you cut a thin slice off of it lengthwise. Then you scoop out the potato, leaving a shell. Mix the potato flesh with salt, pepper, grated cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon & an uncooked egg. Stir well, then fill your potato "shell" with the mixture. Pop it back in the oven until its a golden brown. Good eating!

French fries made in peanut oil.

Make a potato anyway you like, I'll help you eat them.

 

[Alnamvet68]

Oh my, I forgot another fave of mine, potato latke, or simply potato pancakes. Homemade latke with homemade apple sauce...to die for.
