What do you think? Unhealthy starchy jonkkk or mother nature’s super food?
How does it compare to the other carb kings (rice, bread, noodles) in therms of nutritional content?
What’s your favorite type of tater? Favorite way to cook them?
I like parboiling them and grilling them with some olive oil.
Love taters. Boiled, mashed, roasted, fried, scalloped, cold in a salad, warm. Potato bread is amazing too, very soft and fluffy. Potato flatbreads are a local favourite.
They are excellent poor people food. I parented without much money, but was always able to put potatoes on the table for my kid. My grandma always made fried potatoes for lunch from leftover boiled potatoes with just a little bit of protein added and fed a family of six like that without much.
I make amazing mashed potatoes, roast spuds, Bombay potatoes, duchesse potatoes, scalloped garlic potatoes and those comfort food fried potatoes like my grandma used to make. I cook with them all the time and much prefer them to pasta which I don’t really like much. I’m a rice and potatoes kind of person.
Favourite potatoes are new potatoes, the very first ones you get in a season. Boiled with just salt. On top a little bit of olive oil or butter and a pinch of seasalt. Eaten just as they are, omg they are so good. Self grown are the most joyful.
