what are some good ways to cook potatoes?

Answer 1

Mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, augrautin potatoes, french fries, cheesy potatoes, potato soup

Answer 2

My favorite way is what my family calls "Italian Potatoes"

Ingredients:
Potatoes (about medium sized, however many you want to cook)
Italian dressing
Salt and pepper
Aluminum foil

Peel the potatoes then one by one cut them up into slices (you want circle shaped slices so start at the narrow end) Place one sliced potato, try to maintain the potato shape, on a piece of foil big enough to wrap the potato in. Pour on a tablespoon or 2 of it Italian dressing and salt and pepper to taste. Wrap the foil around the potato and twist the ends shut, think like a hard candy is wrapped. Place the wrapped potatoes on the grill (on the second rack if you have that option) and cook for about 45 minutes to an hour. Unwrap and enjoy!

Baked Potatoes:
Rub olive oil and sea salt on the outside of the potatoes and then bake at 350 degrees F until tender.

Garlic and Cheese Mashed Potatoes:
Make mashed potatoes as you normally would, but add in a bit of fresh garlic (to taste) and some parmesean cheese.

Parsley Potatoes:
Cut up small red potatoes and boil on stove until tender. Drain. Add 1/2 stick of butter or margarine, a pinch of garlic salt (to taste) and parsley. Stir.

Potatoes and Onions:
Slice Yukon gold potatoes and onions and lay in a large baking dish. Toss with olive oil and salt and fresh garlic. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 2 hours at 250 degrees F. Uncover for 20 minutes and increase temperature to 350 to crisp.

These are some of my family's favorite ways of eating potatoes. Hope you enjoy them as well!

I like using left-over mashed potatoes to make potato pancakes in the morning w/ eggs & bacon (just make a patty and fry in a little bit of butter).

I also like them cut up in big chunks, seasoned and baked as a side dish with dinner. Simple and good.

Answer 8

It all depends on how and what you want the potatoes to taste. frying them will make them golden and crispy, you can add sesonings to taste. you could also add veggies etc..
You can bake them along with a roast and veggies.
You can peel the potatoes and boil them, when done mashs them up, add 1 cup milk, 2 tablespoons butter and to add some taste you could add some shreded cheese. it's really good.

Answer 9

1) Mashed - go beyond milk and butter though.
-use a flavored cream cheese (I like herb and garlic)
-a mix of sour cream, cheddar cheese and green onions
-mashed roasted garlic, butter and cream
2)Baked - don't just stick with plain baked
-wrap in foil with butter, salt, pepper and a sliver of onion and bake
-wrap in peppered bacon and bake
-bake as usual, scoop out flesh, mash with bacon, cheese and milk, restuff and bake for an additional 10 minutes
3)Roasted - oh the options that you have, leave the skin on for extra flavor and nutrients
-Greek - toss cut potatoes in salt, pepper, lemon juice and oregano, bake on a cookie sheet
-Italian - use italian dressing to season potatoes, bake
-use any marinade or dressing you like to season th potatoes
-use any dry seasoning (Kernels popcorn seasonings is great)
4)Potato Latkes
5) French fries - use sweet potato fries for extra flavor
-brush with beaten egg white and your fave seasoning for crispy, baked fries

I hope this gives you a few new ideas! My fave is mashed with cream cheese!
