Recently, I've discovered mashed potatoes. The only way I ate them as a child was either simply boiled (my preferred way back then), or my family would use a fork to break them, especially for kids, but that always had an unpleasant texture for me.

My husband introduced me to proper British mash and I love it. I add a lot of fresh dill, a little leftover from my own culture.

Of course, I can't say no to Belgian fries, or I'll occasionally roast potatoes with herbs and they're delicious too (but it's a long process).

French fries

MY EYES!!

They're Belgian. But you're forgiven because you've probably never met another Belgian person. You're still alive so it's a fair assumption.

Hello SF family! I hope this finds you as well as can be.

What is your favorite way to eat potatoes?

I like mashed or chips or roasted. All only if done the way I like. I think probably mashed or boiked fried with eggs.

Nah, I did it on purpose.

i usually use red or goldens and often fingerlings or babies. Less starch and they don't make me as sick when i eat them.

Oven Roasted: cut in bite sized pieces and placed on a sheet-pan with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and sometimes Italian seasoning (depending on the main dish). Then roasted for about 20 mins so it's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. If i make meatloaf, i have been forming individual ones n placing on a sheet-pan n placing the potatoes around it n roasting that way. Gives them extra flavor n everything is done at the same time.
Sweat potatoes are good done that way as well. Just cut them smaller.

Microwaved: i used to prep them the same way but put them into a glass casserole dish n put a couple tbsp butter and seasonings, (especially fresh garlic) n a bit of olive oil n cover n cook in the microwave. Steams them nicely n they always tasted like restaurant ones my youngest loved. i'll do that over the summer so i am not using the oven.
