Potatoes: What Can You Do With Them? by DisGuy: 12:10am On Jan 15, 2011
So early in the week i told mumsie to get me potatoes from the supermarket. I was actually craving mashed potatoes but i'm not sure if they are the right ones for mash potato. Now I'm stuck with 24 nice looking potatoes that will probably start brown next week

So Ye [i]cooksmith[/i]s, can you recommend quick recipe with potatoes > I don't like just boiled potatoes unless you can also recommend good sauce (quick and easy sauce)

Helppppppp

Chop them up and fry them. Add sausage and you can eat for breakfast.

Put it in the oven and bake it. Wrap it in aluminum foil and cook in the oven for an hour. When it is soft open it up and add your topping. Like meat, cheese, butter, etc,

FYI: Any potato is good for mash potatoes. Just peel it if you do not like the skin I usually peel mines after i boil them makes em easier. Boil it than mash it add milk, butter, and salt. You can also add garlic and chives or cheese depending on your preference.

Sauce for potatoes: you need onions tomato paste cornbeef oil water salt. First heat some oil in a saucepan the oil should cover the bottom of the pot then add a can of tomato paste and choponions. Cook the paste until it starts spreading then add seasoning salt pepper maggi or tomatoes if you like. Then add cornbeef mix everything together. Then add water start with one cup if too thick add more water until you get the consistency you like then let it boil on medium heat. Stir and check frequently to make sure it doesnt stick to the pot. After about 20 minutes it should be done. I eat with fried or boiled potatoes.

LOADS! There is so much you can do with potatoes.

One of my favourite potato recipe's in roast potato:


1 - Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks
2 - sprinkle with salt
3 - add some oil and some garlic and any herbs
4 - bake in the oven (about 45 minutes in ordinary ovens - or about 30 minutes in a halogen oven) until crispy on the outside and fluffy and soft on the inside.

5 - Enjoy!

I also love mashed potato too :-)
