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 -

The idea of a sweetener on a sweet potato seems ick to me, but that's why taste is subjective. (Don't get me started on the unholy sweet potato/marshmallow thing.)
Loads of butter, brown sugar AND colorful mini marshmallows.
And now we can get Peeps into this thread, too.

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 -
And maybe some of this, depending how crazy expensive it is: http://www.lewisroadcreamery.co.nz/artisanbutters0

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

Snarky/Sarcastic "apologies" don't count. Instead, posting something like this would have been amusing and conveyed the same message:
that was a sincere sorry....but wow still on the potato...get a life (right back at ya dude)

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. . . .
