post your best potato recipes.

Give me one good reason to waste my time peeling a potato

tasteless, textureless and just in the fucking way

Should you Blanche your fries in boiling water or ice water? I have heard restaurants use ice water but pro chefs use boiling what is the difference?

Dont get me wrong guys, I love potatoes. But is there someway to make them less spicy? Removing the skin helps a bit but it's still too spicy, I really really want to like potatoes but the heat ruins the experience.

Thanks.

I'm making mashed potatoes

Any good recipes I should follow?

How often do you eat potatoes?

Is potatoes the best thing ever?

rate my breakfast

For the next two weeks, I will be eating nothing but Potatoes and Water, I will not be eating any seasonings, including salt, pepper, or cayenne, I will not be using butter, margarine or hot sauce. I will not be using cooking oil, and I will not be reducing my potatoes to hash browns or chips.

I will only allow myself to eat potatoes, in a way that allows for no exiting or entering of too much excess water.

For those wondering, I am doing this to reset my palette to better help me avoid crappy food, and make food taste better, also I have a sugarfree ethical vegan friend who I want to blow out of the water.

Also, what should I have for my first meal back, I'm trying to avoid red meat as it upsets my stomach already

I have nothing against vegans. I have nothing against vegetables. But there are limits. Poatoes are a cruel mockery of food. Smells like dirt, tastes like bitter dirt, and contributes nothing to the enjoyment of life.

But "Oh", you say, "it has zero calories! You can eat all you want!"

Eating absolutely none of it satisfies the latter condition. And in order to stomach it, you have to add something that actually HAS flavour to it such as cheese or peanut butter, which invalidates the first condition.

You know what I'd rather have than potatoes with cheese? Cheese.

You know what I'd rather have with potatoes with peanut butter? Peanut butter.

I don't want it in a salad where, at best, it provides a little crunch. Using fresh ingredients keeps a salad crunchy, and if you want to add more vegetal crunch, there's water chestnuts.

I don't want it in a soup where it serves merely as a placeholder where a real ingredient could have lived, like a bit of carrot, a pea, or a bit of chicken. Tossing something watery into something watery just makes the less watery thing more watery. Nasty.

And no, Dr. Brown, I don't want potato "flavour" in a soda. I'd try it once though out of pure horrific curiosity. I'm just not sure I'd actually waste money on the "privilege", since I've seen it in stores and have failed to try it so far.

I am so exceedingly ungrateful for potatoes, you can't even imagine.

Is it mostly the potato or the grease/salt involved in potato products that causes fat growth?
