Potatoes are not only a time-tested comfort food staple, but this terrific tuber is also among the most versatile of vegetables. There are countless ways to cook them. Some of our favorites include mashed potatoes, latkes, potatoes au gratin, gnocchi, potato chips, hash browns, baked potatoes, potato salad, and French fries.
What’s your favorite potato preparation?
I can only pick one? :) I’ll eat potatoes any which way I get them, but I do I love spuds straight out of the ground, steamed and served with good Irish butter and flaky salt. It’s a winner every time.
My mother used to make a potato pancake like this: peel and boil potatoes. Cool and shred. Melt butter in a nonstick pan, then put shredded potatoes in and cook until crispy on each side. No onions, garlic, just simple and delicious. According to the trend watchers, they are in for 2012! When did they go out…? http://www.marczykfinefoods.com/blog/index.php/2012/01/13/its-the-dawn-of-a-new-year/
