Definitely Vodka. Mash and season the rest for use in пирожки.

There's also the classic of  goulash with a side of mashed taters.
Or the German budget special, Sauerkraut, mashed taters, and Sausages.
Or the budget budget budget version, Kartoffel, Käs und Butter. Taters, cheese and butter. Cook some taters, and eat them while they're still hot with a pinch of salt and a dab of butter (the sour kind, not that salted stuff you heathens call butter). To mix things up, occasionally take a bite of tater with a chunk of good cheese instead. Good cheese, ya hear.

Dammit, my internet is screwy, sorry for the double post.

To salvage this I might also add the German tater bun, Kartoffelknödl. Those are used as side dish for meat dishes with good gravy, with the most commonly known example being the Bavarian Schweinsbraten. (There's loads of other dishes though.)

Basically, it's a mix of mashed and grated taters shaped into a sphere with croutons inside, simmered in salt water and served with buttered roasted bread crumbs on top. Quite delish, with a distinct squishy-elastic texture and the good old tater taste. Too lazy for pics though, it's just a side dish, no matter how delicious.

However, I'm feeling peckish, so...
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/55/Plum_Dumpling.jpg)
Marillenknödel/Zwetschgenknödel (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plum_dumplings). The ancient Hungarians/Bohemians/Austrians/Bavarians/etc rightfully thought croutons were boring and substituted sugared fruit (plum, apricots) instead. The mix between slightly salty tater shell and delicious sweet and tangy fruit core is just sublime. Obviously they're eaten by themselves, often with just a bit of powdered sugar, cinnamon and/or melted butter on them - rarely even once again roasted buttered bead crumbs.

Good stuff. A bitch to make for singles like me, but the perfect homecoming food. Mothers and grandmothers can somehow endure the fiddly cooking process better, who'd have thought.

That's an entire delicious cheese dropped on top of the pan-fried taters/bacon/onions mix, then put in the oven until it deliciously melts all over their faces.

But srsly, might as well eat the grilled cheese and other stuff without the taters after all this. It's disrespectful of the taters to add too many ingredients. You need to be able to appreciate the tater taste, and with grilled cheese on top and after two sets of baking/frying you no longer can.

At most you can add some lard or caraway seed to augment the tater experience beyond the standard onion/bacon fare, but that is already dangerously close to heresy.

Don't suffocate those poor taters! Let them breathe! You monster! Have you no heart? Do you not hear the cries of the abused taters?! :-\

Mark me down for "German potatoes" — essentially hashbrowns with onions and sausages browned beforehand. Sometimes I throw curry powder over them. It's delish.
Title: Re: So what do we do with all these taters?
Post by: Corporal on October 30, 2017, 12:08:31 AM
Sounds kind of like what I know as "Tiroler Gröstl". Cubed onions, meat(e.g. leftovers from a BBQ)/bacon/sausage cubes, cubed or sliced cooked potatos, all roasted in butter or lard with a pinch of caraway seed, marjoram and salt/pepper to taste until slightly crispy. Warmed up, really. Served with a sunny side up egg on top, sprinkled with chopped parsley.

It's up there in tater-based food recycling. You can throw in nearly anything from the day before and still enjoy it.

It even works with cut up Kartoffelknödl instead of taters. Good single food. Kind of a waste for good taters, but what can you do.

...


And as much as I love taters, the very idea of tater juice is repulsive. Why would you do that. :-\

Well, turnips and cabbages aren't all that bad. And who'd complain about good bread.

Still, you're right, it was pretty shit. Things got so bad that we figured out how to *drink* grains because we were so fed up with them: An all day, every day diet of gruel will turn the most friendly man into a beast.

Which, coincidentally, also explains in part why we spent so much time killing each other, constantly.

Taters caused peace. Kinda. Don't ask the Indians or Inkas.
