What do? Looking for best recipes y'all swear by. Plan to eat a lot of them steamed but if I could get some ideas on how to use them tell me. Also fuck terfs. Also also they are idaho potatoes.
Edit Also leave the skin on or off? Does it have any nutrients?
I don't think anyone has clarified this, but yes, absolutely leave the skin. It's full of valuable nutrients. If you can stand it. I even make mashed potatoes with the skin included, but some people don't like it that way which is understandable.
My mom always used to do this and told me the same. I always put the skins in everything now. Moral of the story is fuck terfs.
This is what I was thinking. I still scrub the potatoes underwater before hand though. Been doing this for a while because I lost my favorite peeler.
ALOO PARATHA!!! Stuffed potato pancake!!

Will have to find a few substitutes but this looks doable. Kind of looks like the tortillas I make but with potatoes. Thank you.
Awesome! Yeah ignore the ghee you can use any oil. This goes really well with spicy pickles and yogurt
potatoes are just the best!! so many possibilities! latkes would be a great and very seasonal option. gnocchi is another fun potato option people don't always think of.
if you're open to food experiments, try refrigerating a couple of them before cooking. it's supposed to free up sugars or something like that and thereby reduce production of some other chemical when they brown. also, parcooking potatoes before doing whatever else you plan to do almost always makes them better.
Refrigerating before cutting or cutting them up and then refrigerating? I'll be down for experiment tbh got some fridge space. Keep hearing about paracooking and doing this might save me some heart ache when timing how long to cook.
I think you refrigerate before slicing? But I'm not sure it actually matters. Seems like the starches would break down either way.
One time when I made potato pancakes I refrigerated the shredded potatoes and egg mixture a couple hours before cooking, and they cooked and held together a bit better than the times I've cooked them straight after mixing. So I'd assume after cutting them.
This seems good for when I'm rushed to make something so gonna use this maybe overnight.
Do you mean like skin intact or... been finding loaded potato soup in the searches I do. Some direction if possible would be appreciated.
The golden curry really caught my attention and the garlic mashed potatoes might be my new favorite mash.
Potato soup, fried potato wedges, home fries, tortilla de patatas, mashed potatoes and veggies, stuffed baked potatoes, hashbrowns, aloo gobi, gods I love potatoes.
Tortilla de patatas will give me a chance to practice my flipping skills and the aloo gobi is something new. Minus a few spices I think I can make this. Thank you for these.
Not sure if you saw but RogueGral made a thread earlier with tortilla and gave this recipe. Haven't tried it yet but it looks good 😋
Might be getting my hopes up but I hope my first time making these come out as good as the video. Gonna have to burn a few to get it right maybe.
Leek and potato soup! Sautee some leeks and onions in butter for five minutes with salt and pepper. Then add diced potatoes, water, veggie stock cube and simmer for like 30 mins. Then add half a cup to a cup of milk and blend together. If you don't have a blender mash it all up. Tastes great, I ate loads over quarantine.
No leeks on this ship but I've got some onions that look a little green, these should work right? Got a hand blender so should be simple and good.
I don't see why not, they're in the same family so it should work just fine! If you ever see some leeks pick some up and try em, the flavour is great :)
If you try the recipe out let me know what you think!
Will do maybe tomorrow since green onion was also cheap and I got some in the fridge.
Got some spinach but will need some olive oil as the recipe says. Need to see if I didn't use all my lard. Thank you for this.
Looked it up and they look good. When I was younger I tried making some potato tortillas and might have accidentally been making this the whole time. I could never fold them but loved eating them with ketchup.
I tried looking up the difference between latkes and other types of potato pancakes, and I honestly still don't really understand the distinction except maybe the use of matzah flour. I also use egg to help bind the cakes together and add finely chopped onion to the mixture, not sure how much of that's typical.
As long as it tastes good and looks good I honestly don't care what's it called. I imagine every place that has potatoes has there own variation.
Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew....
But seriously, Jamie Oliver has a recipe for roast potatoes that is fantastic. https://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/potato-recipes/best-roast-potatoes/
Feel like the first part is a meme I'm not getting since others said this to. The recipe is a good one to, takes a bit of time but looks worth it so thanks.
hash browns. Shred them, then soak them inwater to get some starch out.
Pierogies perhaps?
gnocchi
That gnocchi looking interesting. Wonder if I could use whole wheat flour for it. Thanks for this.
Skin has good fiber but wash them well if you leave it on. Pesticides are literally killer
Slice each potato into 6-8 pieces. Put them in a plastic bag with whatever spices and herbs you like and some olive oil. Shake. Pour them out from the plastic bag into a pan, place pan in oven. Roast. Enjoy.
I took the bag to be an idea of isolated storage, not a distribution mechanism. This is especially helpful as I currently have potatoes, bags, spices, and no desire to make even more mashed or baked potatoes.
I mean, the other options are the table are bake and mash. I will try.
I knew a Polish guy for a while who once ate a meal of potatoes prepared in 4 different ways, and could not have been happier about it. I want to know this happiness.
yup I make these weekly, only get a baking pan and line it with foil and you can mix it all up without spending a non reusable bag. Best part is you can use a whole blend of different spices to make the potatoes taste totally different
Is this like meat the longer I leave it will the flavor penetrate if that makes sense? Also what cooking time and temp please.
I suppose leaving it in there will work like marinating meat yeah. But just mixing it up and then putting it in the oven gets great results. 220c for 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of the potato slices.
Gives me a chance to finally used the marjoram I bought years ago. Missing some things but will make do.
make a bunch of french fries to freeze! If you don't have a frier I'm sure there are some recipes for making ones that do well in the oven.
This could be great as a meal prep. I have my heart set for a potato press cutter for years for this reason. I'll cut them in the mean time but need to get my hands on one. Oven baked fries aren't to bad.
Baking fries, freezing them, then frying them gives you a texture similar to McDonald's if you're into that
Daring but I would have done this but steamed and maybe with a bit of hot sauce.
