Fries and chips (crisps) are peak potato but for a quick home dish I really appreciate the hasselback

Who the fuck cares what time it is? If you wanted your buttery mashed potatoes, then you'd make them. The reason you're not making them, is because you're a fucking europoor with no access to food.

>>14062114
Not a Eurofag, I am a stupid leaf that lives in a row house though. Don't want to wake the neighbors as I mash these delicious earthy treasures

>>14062103
You can put them in potato guns and shoot them at people and things.

Had potato pancakes last night. Shit was awesome!

>>14062180
Recipe?

>>14062103
Potatoes are the best side dish. Fuck noodles and rice.

I haven't had potatoes in months, they're too expensive.

>>14062607
just get one and replant it when it grows eyes

>>14062103
I had some really tender potatoes as the base of a curry I made last night and I might not go back to meat.

I don't have the right terroir to farm potatoes.

A bag of soil is dirt cheap.

>>14063171
if he is poor enough to where he can't even afford potatoes, i doubt he will be able to afford dirt to plant them in

>>14062607
if potatoes are too expensive what the fuck do you eat then

>>14063171

You don't understand I don't have the right soil, I would have to import soil from Idaho or P.E.i.
You can't just plant potatoes in regular dirt.

>>14063187
Potatoes are $6/lb

>>14063191
Can't you just get some dirt for growing vegetables from Home Depot or something?

McDonalds and Pizza

>You can't just plant potatoes in regular dirt.
Yes you can. I've seen it done before.

being from belarus its our staple food. we are even called bulbashi from the word bulba (potatoes). its amazing in all of its forms. my favorites are draniki (potato pankakes) and boiled potatoes cut thickly and pan fried in butter.

>>14063195
You should get on food stamps

>>14063211
do you seriously think $6/lb for potatoes is acceptable? That's not the price for any sort of fancy organic pesticide-free premium potatoes that's for the cheapest no-frills bag of potatoes.
A few years ago that same bag was like $3/lb.

>>14063195
what hellhole do you live in where you have mcdonalds yet potatoes are 6 dollars a pound?

>>14063191
just find some rotten hay and use the ruth stout method. easy and plentiful, also free. find a farmer who has some ruined feed hay and youre good.

Cool LARP.
A 10lb bag at Loblaw's is $8

>>14063216
Who said anything about it being acceptable? They don't cost that much where I live. But I have food stamps right now cause I'm unemployed due to all the bullshit that happened. Food is basically free for me right now.
I'm suggesting you do the same so you don't have to worry about shit like food prices for the time being.

>$8
jesus christ, do leafs really?

>>14062103
Love 'em.
Small new ones almost in season now. I can eat those boiled with the skin on and a bit of salt and not want anything else.
Or toss them in a bit of oil (or duckfat if you have it) and some spices and herbs and roast them in the oven.
Later in the year when they get bigger you can roast them in embers or make potato salad with them.
In Winter when they don't have the "new" taste you can make potato soup or roast them as wedges.
Based spuds.

What the fuck am I reading?

>>14063227
OP here, dude I'm a leaf too. Potatoes grow really easy. grab a bag, let some of them grow eyes, and plant them in a flower pot. boom free potatoes in 2-3 months.

>>14063252
>Based spuds
indeed

>>14063241
I didn't realize that OP was in Canada. All their shit is super pricey.

au gratin. but all are great. plain red or gold potatos, nothing, boiled, are good. i believe you are correct. best whole food item. only downside is they are not shelf stable, like rice is. white rice needs much more processing, even brown rice needs processing. and unpolished rice is too chewy, its good but not tasty like a potato. rice is close second, due to shelf stability. but you can grow, harvest and eat your own potatos with no special tools. talk about farm to table. and vitamin c! and fluffy! pic: freeze dried in peru. so they can be shelf stable.
