YAY! Friday Potato Thread!
I had a big baked potato with lunch today, leftover from a couple of nights ago.





I love potatoes! I want to apologize to them for all of the bad press they get these days. Ah potato. I do not believe it is possible to prepare you in a way that I would not love.

1. I have no pics to share...
but I join you in your love of the potato. I'm Irish, after all. ;-)

Fried, mashed, boiled, baked...how about potato pancakes made from leftover mashed potatoes?

Oh yeah.... :bounce:

5. very true! I love Golds, sweet potatoes and yams also
have you had the purple potatoes from Peru? Really good and looks cool. I think there is one from Eastern Europe too, but it may be related to the South American one.

They make some funky-looking mashed potatoes.

8. Ah, about time the spud got some appreciation.
If I had to choose ONE starch, it would be tough for me to decide between taters and pasta, but I'd give rice the boot in a heartbeat.

12. This sweet potato pic has killed more threads....
Edited on Fri Jan-04-08 09:25 PM by adsosletter
than any other tuber recorded in the annals of history.

A dubious distinction...

On Edit...There may be a sinister side to that potato that I'm not seein'...wonder if it's climbin' out of that dish at night and skulkin' around the house, casting frightening shadows wherever it goes... :scared:

Gonna' have to stay up tonight and settle this once and for all...
