What a great vegetable. There's so many different things you can make from it, and different ways to eat it.

not very healthy for you though. But damnit do they taste good. You can have it for breakfast lunch and dinner. Its still not good for you.

I had to eat a can of beets today as part of my diet. Beets are nasty.

YES YES YES

Potatoes are amazing. There are so many ways to fix them, and nearly every way is quite financially reasonable. You can bake them and put sour cream on them for dinner, or you can cut them up and add spices for hash. Woohoo.

I want to cut some up and add them to scrambled eggs

I love making mashed potatoes with Red Potatoes. Clean the exterior nicely but your able to mash them with the skins on which comes out with nice texture.

Baked Potatoes are the best thing to make when you've got nothing else :lol . Not that its bad but everyones always got like, some single potatoes lying around and some cheese. So easy to make too.

Oven Roasted Potatoes are also very very good. Cut up some herbs and you've got a real flavorful batch going. Almost as easy as baked potatoes but you have to quarter the potatoes.

All in all, very versatile, very tasty and the best vegetable ever :D

potatoes are GREAT for you. they're not great for low-carb diet fads.

i mean if you eat nothing but potatoes, that's not good. and frying anything is not good.

I remember, when I was till with my parents, my mother would make these fried french fries but would then crack a couple of eggs (after dumping out the oil) into it. So you would have this awesome fried potato and scramble egg mixture...its to die for (especially with ketchup).

That's a lot funnier to me than it should be. I laughed so loudly that I thought I might have woken Gram up haha.
