Don’t get me started ![]()
I loves me some spuds. I like all the choices in the poll, but I voted “other” for hash browns. Yum.
I don’t know if it has a name, but here’s my favourite recipe:
Boil potatoes for about 30 minutes, then peel them and cut each potato into 4 to 8 pieces (depending on size)
Peel an onion or two and cut into largish pieces.
Saute the onion pieces in olive oil, with seasoning to taste (e.g., black pepper, chili pepper), then add the potato pieces.
Continue to cook the mixture, stirring regularly, until the potato pieces are partly brown and crisp on the outside.
Optionally: Add other vegetables cut into similar pieces, e.g., bell peppers or broccoli.
“Other” for me. Nothing in the world like a fresh-from-the-oven potato kugel, crispy on the outside, mushy on the inside.
Just two more days till Shabbat…
Other: Hash browns.
Roasted. Although I like potatoes just about any way they can be cooked. Fries and hash browns were a close second, but nothing beats a good roasted potato.
All of them but boiled. And home fried should be on the list.
Plus, make it garlic butter, and use twice as much.
Covered with sausage gravy and topped with a fried egg. Oh yeah.
Also, latkes with sour cream.
- Roasted
- Mashed
- Baked
- Hash Browns
- French fried
Any way they’re cooked, I love potatoes. I couldn’t vote in the poll because I love every kind. I think I may also love TriPolar. Your post was sheer poetry.
My only addition: the best potatoes are the ones you just dug up from your own vegetable patch.
How could you forget potato leek soup? YUM!
I was counting on you to followup for me.
Another hash brown lover here. But they’ve got to be the grated kind, not the diced ones. Diced fried potatoes are okay, but they’re nowhere as good the real thing. Also, please throw some cheese, a couple of sausage patties, and some over-easy eggs on top. Slather it with ketchup and yum!
Fried potatoes with onions, be it either breakfast, lunch or dinner. 
Hot!
Other: Sautéed in goose fat with garlic and rosemary.
Also, the South African chip variety known as “slap chips” (pronopunced “slup” and meaning, essentially, slack or floppy), best seen in the steak Gatsby
Yes yes yes!
Mashed (with garlic, butter and maybe fresh dill) would edge out the others by a tiny, tiny hair, but honestly I love potatoes in just about any shape or form.
Bratkartoffeln for the win. Nobody does potatoes like ze Germans.
