    Potatoes for breakfast are even better if you cut them REALLY thin like hashbrowns, cook till brown and then pour scrambled eggs on top and cook till the eggs are done. Add sauteed onions and bell peppers if you really want a treat.

    O.M.G! YUM! This might be my dinner tonight! I'll have to add some cheese though :)

    Yeah. I really do. I love potatoes and I always feel overfull when I have one or two. I don't load it with a ton of butter or anything but I do have lots of black pepper and powdered garlic and I keep the skin on. I once ate 2 potatoes every morning for breakfast for a month and lost 7 lbs from doing nothing different but that. I just really like potatoes. I know its a strange obsession to have but they aren't nearly as bad as everyone likes to make them out to be. As long as you aren't loading it with lots of crazy things, I have never had an issue when I had more potato products in my life. (No I dont mean french fries and potato chips.) Actually... I dont think Ive had a potato chip in over 2 months. Hmm. Interesting.

    Yes Im rambling.

    >_<
    are you secretly from ireland?! lol!

    Potatoes are awesome! Glad to see there are others who aren't scared off of whole natural plant based food because some yahoo said it has carbs.

    Oh my gosh, there are CARBS??? In potatoes?? ?Whatever will I do!!!!!

    Cheese is good too, also bacon. I've actually done this same recipe with sweet potatoes. Surprisingly good.

    I laughed out lout when I read this, thinking about what all the low carbers might think! I like potatoes too and I don't limit them but I do like a dollop of fat free sour cream ;)

    Actually, Im a low carber and potatoes are the reason why!!!! I love them and am jealous of the OP because I simply cannot control myself around them! I used to eat 2 potatoes (any way, fried, baked, microwaved) for breakfast too... Then some at lunch and dinner too! I was so big! I cant have them in the house:ohwell: After I stopped eating them, I lost 10lbs!


    <----no self control around potatoes

    But it's not just the 'potato'. It's fried potato, when each tablespoon of any oil including olive is worth ~200, right? How other than fried can you eat them delicious?

    Some will comment that you blew it by having potatoes... but like with everything if you stick to your serving sizes and work it in... it's not bad for you.

    Diets fail because you restrict or eliminate foods you love... a lifestyle change you eat what you love in moderation... I'd rather be a happy Sammie then a pissed off Sammie because I couldn't have my baked potato with my bbq chicken!

    Ill eat them any way...

    Boil em
    Mash Em
    Stick em in a stew.

    Perfect food.

    Its really like a plate to eat garlic and pepper and (occasionally) Bac-Os off of.

    I simply cant eat a beef stew without Potatoes in it.

    Told you. Its an Obsession.

    LOVE em!

    when I was living in Korea, they had winter street vendors who would have carts of hot baked sweet potatoes, so it was a double bonus, hands warmed and sweet potato goodness:happy:

    My family is a potato family - when I lived at home we had potatos five times a week - mostly pan fried, mash potatos, just cooked, potato salad, etc. No one on my family is overweighted. Now I 'm living on my own for over ten years, I still like potatos and eat them, but not as often as my parents. Potatos are great!

    Potatoes and apples are pretty dang close in calories. Both starchy and delicous.
