To hate potatoes ?

[hopefulhalf]

Not a TAT but more of a follow on ? I just don't "get" them floury balls of starch that can't "take" a sauce. Except for mash which is a pain in the arse to prepare and very fattening.

Omg serenoa the leeks mashed up in the jackets with butter n cheese..... !!! Genius. 🥔🧀

Creme fresh even! Yum!!!

Oh yes!! Topped with Parmesan. Sigh...

I love cheese, especially Parmesan, but it hates me, it gives me migraines.

I save the Parmesan for a nibble off the block after checking I haven't run out of Sumatriptan.

I can accept that everyone is entitled to their own likes and dislikes --but POTATOES!?!? How can you not like potato.

What I can't accept is someone purporting to be a healthcare professional spouting nonsense about mash being fattening.
POTATOES ARE NOT FATTENING. A potato dish can be made fattening if you add loads of butter/cream/cheese etc. Potatoes by themselves are not fattening.
Unless you eat too many, but then too much of anything will increase your calorie/ fat consumption

There is a theme park in Ireland dedicated to the noble crisp - Tayto Park.

I always make mash with milk and butter, didn't realise there was another way. But obviously I dont make it very often. Without wouldn't be sort of dry andnon creamy ?

and really disgusting ?

I absolutely love potato, how can you not?!

Boil em mash em stick em in a stew...

YANBU - I also hate potatoes, the texture makes me gag and they taste like soil.

And also, I've not eaten them for 42 years of my life, so I don't miss them and there are plenty of other options.

I have never encountered a more unreasonable poster.

YABVU, I feel like that about rice. Can’t see the point of it but potatoes are delicious.

Well yes, hopeful. A bit of semi skimmed milk and a lump of butter goes in mash. Your share of that still doesn’t make them ‘fattening’.

YABVVVU

I love them in every form.

Yup! I am with you! I don't like them.

So that's where I'm going wrong!

I'm not all that keen on potato croquettes, which my mum used to be in frozen form decades ago. Other than that, there is nothing that can be done with a potato that I don't love.

@ZeldaPrincessOfHyrule your DS sounds awesome!

Buy! Not be. I am not the offspring of a potato croquette.

I am a potatarian. Potatoes 🥔 are the best. If I could have one food, it would be them. Nectar, ambrosia, food of the gods. Posh or common, breakfast, lunch or dinner, in or out, summer or winter they are perfect.

Spud-u-don't-like?

Madhur Jaffrey's potato recipes are amazing. Give them a go!
