Ditto this. I grew up thinking I hated sweet potatoes because no one I knew (literally no one) ever made them without added sugar or marshmallows.0 -

Potatoes, with the cheese and butter and salt, are good for the soul. They are my absolute favorite thing and I make them fit into my calories. I run for potatoes.

I meal prep with sweet potatoes
boil up 2 or 3 of them and portion them out for a 5 day work week. Sprinkle with some salt and peppa and voila!
Maybe "they" are talking about potato chips?0 -

I don't really like potatoes without quite a bit of fat added so the calorie count is too high to eat often.
This is another of the reasons I hadn't had any, then it occurred to me that mixing the garlic that usually goes in my butter with cottage cheese might do the trick, and sure enough it did. May not work for you, but turns out I am all about the garlic part of the garlic butter (which is not to say I don't think butter is the bomb or that I can work it in, just didn't want to for that meal).0 -

I am sitting here now, as we speak, having just unearthed the potato underneath my lentil chili. I tossed it with some Kerry Gold. Frackin' scrumptious. 36 calories of awesome. I don't eat much butter, so I only buy grass-fed stuff so there's lots of flavor.

Only kind we have in NZ. I need to get butter next time I'm at the supermarket, I'll be getting this stuff, apparently it's amazeballs: http://www.lewisroadcreamery.co.nz/premiumbutters 0 -

I know right!! I love this country, and my city (it's like foodie heaven). One of the select few places that sells the artisan one is a mere hop, skip and a jump from my house too

I'm always amused when people in one thread tell someone in the same thread that they're spending too much time on the subject and need to get a life. Always.

Who is this dude you speak of? Me?!? Honestly, I am not surprised someone was upset in this thread. . . .we are discussing potatoes after all.

I was starting to think some of these ingredients (toppings) combined could resemble a Brunswick Stew. . . .

Potatoes are incredibly satiating. While there's probably some individual variability here I know it's true for me. And the people in this study:

When I'm trying to lose fat my potato consumption goes UP. Because it allows me to eat less by keeping me full.0 -
I eat potatoes all the time. If u like them , then fit it into your day. Its as simple as that0

I'm not a big baked potato eater, I rather cook them with my food, so an average meal with potatoes will also have chicken, onions, zucchini or eggplant, carrots, etc.))) 0

Wait...who said they have to be a side dish? In my house, baked potato bar (with liberal fixins options) is a meal. Add your own meat, dairy/fat, and veg. FULL MEAL.
Break outside the 1950s meat/starch/boiled veg model!0
