Step 1. Open a can of pringles

It's like taking a warm bath in the middle of Olive Garden.

10. I've got a variation on a tater tot casserole

Don't use tater tots. Bake your ingredients and then top off with mashed potatoes instead - then bake a little longer. Then serve with some Japanese ton katsu sauce on top and you are off to carb heaven.

11. I make this version of twice baked:

I get one giant russet for each person - (BIG I tell you.) bake them
remove the insides - put in a big (big I tell ya) bowl
add sautéed shrimp (the medium size and about 4 to each person), garlic, chopped raw onion, butter, sour cream and grated parmesan to the bowl of potatoes
re-stuff the potato skins - place on a cookie sheet and bake for about 30 to 40 minutes on 325º

12. Honey roasted potatoes

2lbs red or yukon gold potatos, cut into quarters (roughly 1" cubes)
1/2 stick butter, melted
equal amount of honey
dash of garlic powder (if you like)
dill (fresh or dried) to taste (I like lots)
salt and pepper to taste

heat oven to 400 degrees. Wash and dice taters. Melt butter, add equal volume of honey and whisk. Add garlic powder, dill, salt, and pepper, whisk. Mix in taters, pour everything out into roasting pan, cook for approx 45 minutes, stirring once. For crispness, you can throw them under the broiler for about 8 minutes when done (still at 400). Eat.

Times are approximate, I usually don't measure or time, just cook 'em til they're done.

16. Scalloped potatoes

4 cups thinly sliced potatoes, about 6 to 8 medium potatoes
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons butter
2 cups scalded milk
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese


In a buttered 2-quart baking dish, place a layer of about 1/3 of the potatoes. In a cup or small bowl, combine flour with salt and pepper. Sprinkle about half of the flour mixture over the potatoes; repeat with another layer of potatoes and the flour mixture and top with remaining potato slices. Dot with butter then pour hot milk over potatoes. Cover and bake at 375° for 45 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle cheese over the top. Return to the oven and bake, uncovered, for an additional 15 minutes, or until scalloped potatoes are tender and cheese has melted. Scalloped potatoes serves 6 to 8.

[Left Is Write]

18. Lefse. It's hard to give a recipe for lefse, though.

You just have to kind of know what it should look like and feel like.

22. Vodka

Mash up some potatoes in water, add yeast. Let it ferment for a while.
Then put it in a still.
Check it to make sure it's not poisonous.
Drink until you fall down.

23. Coq au vin, hold the coq and vin, serve over potatoes

[KamaAina]

25. Potato po'boy

a Depression-era New Orleans classic (a po'boy is the rough equivalent of the sub/hoagie/grinder/whatever).

Make the fries as you described. Place them inside a po'boy loaf, which of course you can only get in the NOLA area, so use any old French loaf instead. If you insist, "dress" it with mayo (pronounced "MY-uh-nezz"); again, the purist would insist it be Blue Plate, also a regional brand, so just use any old kind.

This was the food of the true "po'boy", one step ahead of the one made with just the loaf, lettuce and tomato, the idea being that the bearer would be able to wheedle a slice or two of meat from his co-workers!

26. Red potatoes with...

29. I've been making home fries lately too.

just cannot beat them. omg, with vinegar and salt. wow. I heard that adding vinegar seems to be a Canadian thing. that true?
I like mine skinny shoestring soggy like.

and surprisingly quick to make in my trusty old cast iron pan. I don't peel the potatoes, tho.

those frozen baggie things are disgusting to me now.

we love our potatoes at our house. mashed, mogul, fries, baked, hash browns, scalloped (some of the packaged scalloped and au gratins are Really good - some just a tad too much on the salty side tho)

the Potato is King.

[Clintonista2]

34. Yep, vinegar is a canadian thing lol

Everytime I go to the states, and I have fries at a restaurant I always ask for vinegar, and I get the wierdest looks lol.

[Whisp]

35. Potato candy! Warning: you will be hooked for life.

http://www.cooks.com/rec/search/0,1-0,potato_candy_peanut_butter,FF.html

If you can have the patience, wait until it's properly cooled to gorge. We used to put ours in the freezer, giving it a nice crispy snap.
