Potatoes

Gordon

So I opened my pack of potatoes that hadn't been touched for a few weeks and they had started growing roots. It really made me feel bad to stick them in the oven and bake them as they now seemed like living entities. It felt like I was putting live babies into the oven, I tell you I almost had a tear in my eye.

Anyway, how do you like yours (considering you have gotten over the fact that potatoes are living beings also, how hypocritical of vegans to eat potatoes tbqfh)?

My favourite is roasted. Roasting afaik is baking but with oil. Some other ways of nice potatoes are:
•Parboil potatoes without skins, take them out of the water and put them in a pot, put the lid on and shake the pot vigorously. This will take small chunks out of the surface and make the tatties more floury. You can then bake or roast them.
•This may be called... darn can't remember the name... You slice potatoes into fairly thin slices and lay them out on a dish and pur milk over them and bake 'em. you can add breadcrumbs and grated cheese on top too.

Any more?

Oh I find mashed potatoes with the skin left on are great, throw in some chopped fried mushrooms and a bit of parmezan and you are rocking.

Potato gratin I think is what you're talking about.
Yum yum, especially with a mushroom and garlic topping. My husband makes damn good gratin!

When you really want spuds but it's a nice summer day, then potato salad is yummy, I like my potatos sorta mashed rather than chunky in my pot salad, mixed with some mayo, some wholegrain mustard and some parsley sprinkled on top! yum yum yum!

oh you also can't beat REAL chips, sliced potatos in the deep fat fryer a la my MA!
