Yes, I forgot about roasted potatoes...they're so good and so damn easy.

I love roasted potato wedges and also potato latkes. Mmmmmmmm. Latkes.

Tonight I did it with small red potatoes with the skins left on. Otherwise pretty much the way Bun does it. Yummy and brown and delicious.
Not a big potato fan. The occasional french fry will make it to my plate, or maybe a small amount of mashed with a steak. Other than that, you can keep the taters.
Must love potatoes here, come potato season lots of schools still close and the kids hit the fields. :) Bake em, roast em, mash em scallop em . . . skin on, yes yes yes!
No doubt! :) And let's not forget Vodka we get from a good ole tater :) Cheers Lar!
Love potatoes...and practically all kinds and every way. Love sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes fries. Like french fries and mashed white potatoes. My husband puts cinnamon in them. It's strangely good. my favorite though is roasted red skins or mashed red skins with the skins. Mashed potatoes HAVE to be dirty. And I like to put weird stuff on my baked potatoes. Cottage cheese, Taco Bell sauce or chili paste, sausage gravy, Parmesan cheese and butter...
I love potatoes.Especially french fries & not those pussy ass skinny ones with the burnt ends.I want fat soggy mushy steak fries with hot sauce & ketchup.Mmmm.
LL makes me feel like a punk for eating shoestring fries occasionally
i cook most fries in the oven and the fat ones take too long to get done
I like them semi-big, and double fried to be sure thay are plenty crispy. First fry at a lower temp to cook through, then drain and refry at a higher temp to crisp up. Crunchy good -- but not health food by any means.
that is how places like TGIFriday's cook their crispy fries. they parboil them first at low temp and then quick fry them later to get them crunchy
But not parboil in water, Kevin. That would be disastrous.

yes larry but that is what it is. parboiling in oil at a low temp. then they hang them on racks and most of the grease drains off but they are still saturated in oil. they then quick fry them in hot oil to crisp them up. that is why they taste so good. double grease
I once got these double deep fried french fries with pesto & gouda at my local vegetarian restuarant.Good idea on paper but they tasted like crap.Ahh well.Lesson learned I guess.
Wouldn't appeal to me. But what would you expect from a damned veggiehead place, LL?
Eh,some vegetarian foods are pretty good.I'm half in love with Kashi & their super healthy entrees with ingredients I have to look up.Wtf is Amaranth anyway?

I like baked with butter and sour cream, what does that say bout me Barb? :-)
I want to give a shoutout to potato salad, made with Yukon gold potatos, skins left on. I can eat just that for dinner in the summer and be happy. :)

i like the hot pepper potato salad. chunky, family style
Lots of things taste like crap when they're not made right. Also, everyone likes something different. Now if you put pickles or olives in it it tastes like crap.
One of the barbecue places in Austin puts pickle juice in its potato salad. Yuck. I said YUCK .
I prefer pickle, olive, and mustard-free potato salad. Potatoes, celery, hard-boiled eggs, onion, mayo, salt and pepper, and just a teaspoon of vinegar, maybe. That's it, that's all you need.
Mod
I like it Jackie style, but with mustard.
i like bacon in my potato salad. imagine that
Mod
Oh god,bacon.The 2nd love of my life.I think i'd be more excited about oral if it was bacon flavored.

Do you liked mashed potatoes? From the box or mashed yourself? Do you have a particular type of potato you like, the little red ones or the Yukon golds, or does it not matter? What about baked potatoes? What do you put on them? Other potato commentary? I'm not touching fries, I've noticed. What about them?
