Potatoes are supposed to be hardy and known for their long term storage capability compared to most produce, but every time I buy a bag half of them are full of rot and the other half start rotting if I don't eat them in a day

I'm trying to improve my curry recipe. I make blocks outta flour, butter and S&B Golden curry powder and some cayenne for heat. When I actually make it to eat I typically use chicken breast, carrots and potato. What else can I add to get some more variety in there?

How do I reheat fondant potatoes?

Yes poor vegans can live off potatoes just fine

My wife insists that potatoes are just big beans, her argument is that they both have skins and similarly-textured interiors. I know she's wrong but I'm not smart enough to argue this point. I get that there's probably some dusty old book that says "potatoes are tubers, beans are seeds" but WHY are potatoes tubers? What makes a potato different from a bean?

Help me.

How do you make these things taste good?

ADMIT TO YOUR SINS

I cook my potatos in the microwave.

What's the best kind of potato for panfrying with the skin on with minimal preparation(just rinsing in water)?

Are potatoes healthy or not? I've heard they're empty calories with a high GI that spikes your blood sugar. I've also heard they're close to a perfect food and that you can survive almost solely off of them.

Does color matter? I've heard purple/red ones have lower GIs and more phytonutrients/antioxidants.
