Here is a great thread on them: https://hexbear.net/post/64714

But I wanted to get some more ideas from our fabulous food users.

My favorite is simple, cut into bite sized chunks and add to a large pan heated to medium hot, then add a small bit of oil just to keep them from sticking putting the potato chunks in the pan, let sit for 4 minutes turn pan down to medium low add a little more oil and flip the potatoes, cook another 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce to low add salt and pepper, cook another minute or two.

Great breakfast with some black beans!

    If you wanna make home made fries its not all that hard: the key is after you've cut them to soak them in water for a bit, then let them dry before you put some spices and oil on them. Doing this helped me kick the fast food cravings since I won't go out or order "just fries" and end up with a meal and drinks and all that. It's not necessarily cheaper than buying fries but its a great way to stretch some meals out (its like rice: throw any dish on top of fries, as long as you like both foods it turns out great) and make sure you aren't wasting any of the giant bags of potatoes.
