[Insider]

lately i have had the strangest daydreams, usually during long drives. i imagine i can be happy eating just potatoes for years. all the different ways to cook them, quite a challenge. so many delicious dishes.

potato salad with or without eggs or mustard or pickles
fried potatoes with all manner of sauces and gravies
mashed potatoes with all manner of sauces and gravies
boiled potatoes with butter and parsley
diced potatoes with chili sauce, cheese, jalapenos

it could be fun, huh? anybody wanna try it for march?

1. Potato Bread! And Chips!

There's no way that I could ever go on Atkins.

Mmmmm.... Potatoes!

4. Potato rolls are awesome too

I'm definitely a potato lover.. Made a batch of Fish and Chips last night with a whole heap of greasy chips with kosher salt. They were so freakin good! BTW, eat your fries with tartar sauce, you will thank me later.

9. Too pickle-y for me. I like mine with ranch dressing.

And the secret of good potatoes is garlic. For some reason garlic really makes the difference in practically every potato recipe.

And the secret of french fries is to make them from leftover baked potatoes or to zap them in the microwave first. Allow them to cool and then fry the results. Soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. Sprinkle with garlic salt and serve with barbecue sauce and ranch dressing.

7. Potato Sausage - I miss it!

I haven't eaten it in years since giving up most meat products. It has Potato as its main ingredient. Very very tasty with a unique texture and taste. Hmmm hmmm.

I added a chopped onion to the recipe and it did take longer to get done than they suggest. Closer to 2 hrs as opposed to 1 1/2
