Potato talk

So let's talk taters.

What's your favorite way to eat them? Have you dined upon an outstanding tater dish in a restaurant? Share your favorite recipe or preparation method, type of potatoes used and let's eat some potatoes!

BTW, this idea came from this video I happened upon. See if it inspires you.


Oh wait, my contribution?

My Smashed Potatoes

Slice two medium-large onions, preferably sweet or Spanish. Add to a couple of tablespoons of heated oil. Scrub and rinse a bunch of Yukon gold potatoes, cut in half and add to a huge pot of salted, boiling water. Cook until just tender, do NOT overcook. Drain the water. Add sauteed/fried (the way YOU like 'em) onions, freshly ground black pepper to taste, smoked paprika and chicken broth (or milk, depending on your diet) for texture and flavor. I've been known to throw in a handful of grated cheddar and/or some leftover bacon.

Oh. And then mash gently with large fork (I use a serving fork) so that it's chunky. Yes, leave the skin on.

Crowd pleasing, easy peasey, quick and scrumptious.
