Your favourite way to eat potatoes

[BigJeanette]

Chips?
Mash?
Fritters?
Dauphinoise?
Salad?

Inspire me!

Any which way, ideally with skin on. I just love them.

I 2nd Hasselbacks. Every single Sunday with my roast dinner 🤤

Pommes parmentier - little cubes roasted with an insane amount of garlic!
Lyonnaise potatoes - sliced potatoes and onions sauteed, or layered up in a dish and baked, flavoured with garlic.
(I love garlic!)

Most excellent tribute 💐

My mother in law makes these and they are incredible! I could just eat them all hot straight out of the dish

DEsperately trying to think of a way I don't like potato!

Scalloped, roasted nice and crisp, garlic mash with olive oil, New Jerseys with butter and chives.
My favourite food is potato!

Potatoes are the best. So versatile and pretty much always delicious.

If it's too smooth is kind of glutinous though. What you need is a fluffy but not lumpy mash

I notice I’m particularly thankful for good potatoes as an adult, as I was raised on ‘SMASH’ instant mash 🤢

Has anyone else tried Farm Foods own frozen mashed potato? I tried it at a friends house, unknowingly and am hooked! Proper potato in briquettes, I do them in the microwave, but you can do them on the hob too. Plenty of butter and a touch of salt, maybe a half a pound sprinkle of cheese every now and again too!!! They're lovely! I've used them for bubble and squeak, corned beef, fried onions and mash fry up... Very easy and as versatile as normal mashed potato! I say, don't knock it til you've tried it!

Boiled in their skins, with butter and dill and pepper
Has to be a big floury type of potato, though boiled new potatoes are also good
Takes a while longer than peeled, chopped and boiled but very much worth it when you do it right

What are stovies? I gather they’re a Scottish thing but have never got around to googling.

TBH I like virtually all potatoes - roast, wedges, chips, jackets, mashed, a good homemade potato salad, preferably my own!
Not so super keen on plain boiled, not unless baby new pots, esp. Jersey Royals.

@GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER yep, they're a Scottish thing, but made different ways by different people. They're usually a combination of potatoes (boiled then either mashed or sliced), onions and a form of meat.
My mum makes them by browning onions then adding sliced boiled potatoes and roast beef dripping from the butchers.

I've made them by frying an onion, adding the onion to mashed potatoes then adding corned beef.

Often served with oatcakes (scottish oatcakes)

Try some Dijon mustard in it, that makes it nice and creamy, and without the calories.

Home grown new potatoes take a lot of beating! But also parmentier, roasted and Hasselback. I also make a form of boulangere, but we call it something else: it is DH's favourite. I have some new favourites, but I'd love a steer to some of @therealcookiemonster 's recipes.

Around the corner from me in London, there was an Indian 'transport caff' that did the best potato-filled masala dosas.

Mash is my first preference. Just so comforting.

Dauphinoise is a recent favourite.

Chips, I love them but they rarely taste as good as they look. Rare to get a fantastic chip.

Roasties are great but must be crispy.

Love potato fondant but rarely have them unless at a Michelin restaurant.

Chips. But I am also partial to a baked potato.

Dauphinois, I usually only have it after Christmas

Baked spud

Love chips too

I'm with you on the mash @GivingOutYards fluffy not pureed, I like it done with a masher not a ricer, the ricer makes it like baby food. Worst of all is Delia's method of beating it with an electric hand mixer, which turns it slimy.

Whoever suggested Pommes Boulangere instead of Dauphinoise, I don't like the sound of that either, onion and potato don't go IMO and I don't like the idea of the milk and stock thing either, wouldn't really be any improvement on the dauphinoise.

Can anyone recommend tasty potatoes? They're not as tasty as they used to be, only the Vivaldi ones I was given from Sainsbury's had the taste I remember from yore

My favourite general use potatoes are Marfona. Morrisons generally have some nice varieties in their pink 'The Best' bags too.

Creamy mashed potatoes, preferably with peas or mixed veggies mixed in.

Mashed well with butter, milk, salt, pepper, not actually creamed with a processor.
