Answer 3

My family has a couple of favorites!

1: In a foil pouch add sliced potatoes, sliced onion, garlic, green pepper, salt and pepper. Take two tablespoons of butter and cut into pieces and distribute in pouch. Close the foil pouch and place them on a medium grill about 10-15 mins before you start the main corse. Remove to warmer while cooking meat.

You can also place the foil pouches in the oven for about 20 - 30 mins. (350 F)

2: Cube potatoes (and this is really good with both white or sweet potatoes) For every 3 cups of potatoes place in a plastic bag. Add in 1/4 cup of oil and one envelope of Onion soup mix. Dump into a 9x13 cake pan, laying them out in a single layer. Cook them for about thirty minutes or until tender. (350 F)

One more:

3:This is for either white or sweet potatoes. Cut into fries. Place on a foil lined cookie sheet in a single layer. Brush with melted butter. The white potatoes you can sprinkle with garlic salt or reg salt or if you have a favorite seasoning, like all spice (my sisters favorite) adn bake them for 30-40 mins or until tender (350 F) The sweet potatoes I brush with the butter and then salt and cook them 20 to 30 mins at 350 F. Sweet potatoes, even though they are harder to cut up cook faster.

*Sweet potatoes: we usually buy yams because they are not as stringy.


I hope you are able to try some of these and enjoy them as much as we do!

Answer 10

in my house we boil the potatoes then we take the skin off . the next step is to mash it and make it into a ball shape.
If you like if fried you can fry it in the ball shape.
If you like mashed potatoes just add the things you like to it and maybe add salt and black pepper to it. And of corse put butter to it. if you like nice french fries you can boil it then cut them into the size of french fries you like them. them fry them and have ketchup and you have a goooooooooooooooooooooooooood meal there.
