Potatoes

Mygsds

Hello to all of you. I have gained a wealth of information from this site and asking again another question.. I fit potatoes in my daily food intake and looking for other ways to prepare. I even have a baked potato for breakfast .. So ideas for any meals would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

I dont know how helpful this is but i take a potato bag and microwave a potato 3/4 way done. then peel and cube it when cool. put enough chopped onion in to taste and put into cast iron skillet that i have sprayed with pam. (sometimes a small bit of water and put a lid on) as they finish cooking they will brown a little...turn gently and brown other side. at the last min or 2 add 2 pats of lite butter and let it melt down and help with the final browning...in the south this is called cottage fries. they taste a lot more sinful than they are! (I also LOVE potatos!!)

-Homemade potato and cauliflower soup, blend it to make it creamy without adding any fat!
-Stuffed potatoes with vegetarian or regular chili

I cut up a cooked potatoe and put it in soup.
Also bake them with carrots and onions topped with bb sauce or hot sauce.
Probably have one a day.

1) sauteed in duck fat with garlic and thyme.

2) mashed with plenty of pepper and some milk.

3) chopped into wedges: tossed in olive oil, chilli flakes, crushed garlic, paprika, salt, cracked black pepper and cook on a baking tray for 40 mins.

Have you considered using potatoes as a pizza crust?

Very tasty and none of that crazy man altered grain. You know the grain we have today is vastly different from that of our ancestors? It's true, and that's why we need to avoid it. Simple substitutions like potato pizza crust are the wave of the future.

Potatoes are a super food, once worshipped by many ancient cultures!

Try fitting in more potatoes by blending a potato with some milk and honey. Freeze. Potato ice cream!

I love potatoes! I love potatoe gratin!

Here is a recipe I quickly googled, similar to how I usually do ut. Not so low in calories but very yummie. You can exchange some of the cream for milk for a slightly healthier recipe! This is a typical swedish gratin, but maybe it's the same all over the world. For christmas we traditionally make one where we add anchovis and top it with bread crumbs as well!

8-10 Potatoes
about 3 dl (1.2 cups) Cream
1 Onion
2 Garlic Cloves
2 dl (0.8 cups) grated Cheese, preferably Cheddar or Vasterbotten

Butter
Salt & Pepper

1. Peel and slice potatoes and onion.

2. Bring the cream to a boil, add finely chopped garlic, salt and pepper.

3. Butter an ovenproof tray, then layer potato-slices and onion. Poor over the cream-sauce and top of with the cheese.

4. Bake in oven for about 1 hour at 225 celsius (440 Fahrenheit), if cheese begins to burn, add a lid of aluminium foil for the last 15-20 minutes..

Does one cook said potato first?

Also, instead of mashed cauliflower you can substitute potato and make mashed potato.

Champ - very popular in the North of Ireland, Steam or boil dry floury potatoes, (be careful if boiling as floury potatoes break up easy) in another small pan add milk, chopped spring onions (scallions) mainly the green part and butter, heat gently, then mash the potatoes and add the onion butter and milk. Delicious.

Par boil diced potatoes then add to a roasting tin and spray with 1 calorie oil, toss and spray again. Add a little salt if you like (I do), cook in a fairly hot oven until browned and crispy. 5 minutes before finished cooking, add a little garlic butter and toss through the potatoes - finish cooking, so tasty.

It's recommended to cook them in a potato sacrifice ritual once used by the Tartar people (or was it Tater?).

Sounds delicious.

Have you tried sweet potatoes?

I like to add a finely diced potato to curry and casseroles. It boils down into a mush and thickens the sauce in a tasty way.

Two things: maybe having potatos daily is not the best thing to do (carb overload), and LOVE the doggies in your profile pic

Gnocchi with meatballs and marinara, top with cheese and bake until warm.

One of my favorite, fast, go-to dinners.

This guy has some good ideas.

ImtheOnethatsCool

if you're having it for breakfast, you clearly need to bake it, and top with crumbled bacon and an egg

Anyway, like I was sayin', potatoes is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, potatoes-kabobs, potatoes creole, potatoes gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple potatoes, lemon potatoes, coconut potatoes, pepper potatoes, potatoes soup, potatoes stew, potatoes salad, potatoes and potatoes, potatoes burger, potatoes sandwich. That- that's about it.
