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?

    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.

          I'll slice either way so they take up less space.

        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.
