Your favourite way to eat potatoes

[BigJeanette]

Chips?
Mash?
Fritters?
Dauphinoise?
Salad?

Inspire me!

A really good patatas bravas with a spicy paprika and tomato sauce and garlicky mayonnaise. Worth every calorie.

Goose fat roasties with good gravy. Although I've always wanted to try Mormon funeral potatoes.

Well seasoned mash (tattie skins on) made with butter, milk & mayonnaise then sauted leeks and a tin of sweetcorn mixed through. Yum! Now, I wish I was having that tonight.

I made Hasselback potatoes last night, much easier than I thought they'd be, with a metal skewer

Peeled always, chop into 1"x1" cubes, toss with oil and garlic and cook in the oven/air fryer until brown and crispy

That or really, really, really buttery, salty mash

Having had to work through a glut of spuds I also recommend making soup

spuds are just such a good base for adding nearly anything else to and soup is one of the few potato dishes I think works well for freezing

<jealous of your abundance of potatoes rn>

Oh and tornado potatoes! I can't go to a festival without getting a stick

Chips or mashed or baked
I like new potatoes boiled in their skins and a nob of butter added. OH will make extra and leave them in the pan so I can wander through and grab one as I pass, don't mind if they've gone cold.

Roasties if they're done right! Could eat them all day!

I can't decide between roast and mashed!

Mash. I like veg mixed in it too. Jacket potato too. Skin really crispy.

Jacket with crispy skins and various toppings
Cheese.
Coleslaw.
Chilli.
Tuna mayo with cucumber.
Feta and crispy onions.
Etc etc.

Parr boiled then thrown into a lasagna dish. Crushed with the back of a spoon then lots of chopped garlic thrown over them with lots of chopped rosemary or thyme then lashing of butter dotted all over. Salt and pepper then into a hot oven 220 ish until fabulously crispy. Utterly delicious.

Mashed and smothered in thick onion gravy.

Roasties!

All of the above but also

A good Bombay potato (lots of butter and cumin seeds in mine)

Greek lemon potatoes -
Peeled and wedged, doused with lots and lots of lemon juice, olive oil and crushed garlic. More than you think will be nice. Top up with water and half a stock cube top half immersed then slow roast for a good hour or more.

Latkes

Spiralized, sprayed and then tossed in a little beef stock powder when they come out of the air fryer. Shouldn't be so good.

Other than raw, there's no such thing as a bad way to eat potatoes.

Champ is another one of my favourites.
Essentially mash with spring onions/scallions. Some people put standard onions in but it's nowhere near as nice.

Colcannon is another Irish one with cabbage instead (cut the cabbage finely for best results) or even kale which is nicer.

Hasselback. Love them all ways.

I have a cutter thing for wedges. My lazy go-to would be wedges with olive oil and garlic, splash of balsamic, roasted.

Preferably with jerk chicken and a big spoonful of sour cream!

ALL OF THEM are my favourite

how can you expect me to choose?

if I didn't know it would kill me I would eat potatoes all the time, in every form

if you are looking for inspiration

• vada pau (spiced potato patty in a bun with chutney - gorgeous!)
• pav bhaji (mashed potato cooked with loads of veggies, spices and topped with butter and eaten with rolls)
• potato pakora
• aloo bharta - mashed potato with ghee or butter, finely chopped shallots and green chillies (birds eye or finger chillies) or crushed roasted dried red chillies - eaten with steamed rice, daal and spiced Indian omelette.
• aloor chop - kind of like a scotch egg - spiced potato patty filled with quarter of boiled egg or beef mince. breaded/battered and fried

there are plenty more dishes like this...
potatoes are the best

Jacket Potatoes done in the oven, with a couple of extras in there to do jacket potato soup later in the week 😋

That. Parboiled first.
Makes me hungry just thinking about it.

In the summer boiled and served simply with butter salt and salad cream on the side

Other times of year , Boulanger - especially the crispy top layer , Fondant and husbands million calorie mash

OOOH...I've just remembered a lovely dish, potato rosti. Its easy, but a bit of a faff, but so worth it.

Grate raw potatoes, squeeze out the moisture as much as possible, I wrap them in a tea towel and squeeze, and squeeze and twist the tea towel until no moisture comes out. There will still be enough water in them to steam the middle of the rosti. Melt about a tablespoon of butter and mix this into the potato and season generously with salt and black pepper. Melt another tablespoon of butter and equal amount of oil in a frying pan. Scatter the potato over the pan in the hot butter/oil, Do not pack it down, you want the middle fluffy, but tidy up the edges and pat down the top gently. Cook for about 12 - 15 minutes until its crispy. Then turn it out upside down onto a plate, like you do spanish omelette. Melt another tablespoon of butter and oil in the pan, and slide the rosti back into the pan to cook the other side.

Its not diet food, but its delicious.

vivaldi potatoes are good!
