What is the best way to eat potatoes? - Q&A's honorary Irish thread

[Crocodylus Acutus]

And why is it potato knishes?

I’m boring throw fries at me and I’m a happy guy. Add a shake to dunk them in and we’re golden.

Usually I cook my potatoes by cooking them in butter and with onions like the ruskies do. Not the most filling thing but it’s pretty good and cheap.

It's hard to mess up potatoes, they're easy to cook and you can do a lot with them. If a chef or a restaurant can't make good fries, then you know they're shit.

I like my fries goofy and a little bit silly. Curly fries

Id say the simplest way is the best, or at least my favorite. Just boil em and eat em with salt and a bit of butter. Especially nice during winter.

Potato pancakes with green onions cooked in lard.

Mashed. Make sure you cook them in a very salty water so they get creamy. Add plenty butter, salt, and some creme fraiche, and there's nothing better in the whole world.
There are plenty recipes that advise adding more flavorsome ingredient - like cheddah or mustard - but that kills the potato flavor. Simplicity is the best, Potato is the King.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Raw.

 

[PLAYERHATER]

Baked w/ an olive oil coat. but they're a pain in the ass to cook for one, and dont reheat well, so I don't bother often

mashed w/ cream and butter, sometimes with a few egg yolks thrown in

 

[eatler]

Raw.

The buds that grow out of it sometimes make an interesting texture

Depends on the potato you got.
Russet? Baked or grated into hash browns.
Yukon Gold? Mashed
Red or Fingerling? Roasted.
Purple? Really kind of a tweener, roast or mash 'em.

 

[Squanto Airi]

Boil em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew.

French fries are my favorite potato dish.
