Twice Baked

Which is a misnomer, you don't actually bake them twice but you freeze them before baking to break down the starches an extra amount, right?

@Wurlitzer apparently not

@Gatovicolo thats casserole, not really the same idea as twice baked potatoes as their own dish. From what im readin a lot of people are bakin em for an hour then scoopin out the skins to mix with toppings and then refilling the potato skins and baking for another 15 minutes. I'm pretty sure I read from either Alton Brown or America's Test Kitchen that the real way to do twice baked potatoes was to freeze them first though. Could be wrong, it's been awhile since I heard that and I've not tried it yet.

Baked and loaded with the following in order of importance... Butter, sour cream, salt and pepper, cheese, chives, chilli, and hell, I'll take some jalapenos and a little more cheese while we're at it.

Au gratin, or home fried with onion, or some ungodly delicious mix of the two.

Mashed with butter, sour cream, cheese, lightly salted

I have to go to restaurants for these, but those spiral cut deals that are sort of halfway between curly fries and home chips are pretty delicious. Or waffle fries dipped in ketchup and mayo.

Hashbrowns with onion cheese n ham

And I really like sweet potato fries dipped in a garlic lemon Mayo.

You are the potato ninja! 🙂

@ipdg77 damn straight! Thank you haha Thats going on my business card.

You oughta taste my potato salad. Redsking potatoes, skin on.

I also love potato salad and have tried many recipes but I still get the most complement / best reviews from using the recipe on the Best Foods/Helms mayonnaise jar. Pretty old school, huh?

@OCJoe I make it like my mom made it. A couple of improvements, but pretty much the same. Old school? Hey, we graduated from old school, no?

Baked, fried, boiled and just about any other way, except in potato salad.

Thank you! Anything 'salad' tends to be some potato chunks or macaroni or whatever drowned in mayo with some celery tossed in.

Depends on the specific 'tater variety. Yukon gold makes for great fried taters for breakfast. Idaho for baking... Red for potato salads.

I've been wanting some yukon golds to fry.... A bit of butter, a cast iron skillet.... It's magic for the mouth.

I'm irish, any way at all! And the fairly recent discovery of sweet potato has enhanced my pleasure muchly ?

You only recently discovered the wonders of sweet potatoes? Welcome to a whole new world of tuber delicacies! I am half Irish, and I don't feel the least bit guilty baking a yam.

Baked, with lots of real butter, sour cream and chives. The skins are the best part.

Don't peel them, just enjoy every bit of them!

4

FRIES! But I'll eat any kind of potato. If you don't like potatoes, don't bring that kind of negativity into my life.

Hahaha!

You know how Bubba loved shrimp? That's how I love potatoes.

I said the same thing! LOL

Twice baked with lobster...

I didn’t even know that was a thing. But it sounds like something they’d do in Boston

I am a fairly serious foodie and make some pretty elaborate recipes but I believe most would agree that Tater Tots one of the world's best foods.

Are they vegan

2

How do I like them? Mashed.
How do I do them? Baked (actually microwaved, literally the only way I use the microwave), because it's quicker and easier.

There is no wrong way to potato! Potatoes are delicious in every form. I usually bake or mash them when I cook, I have hash browns when out to breakfast, fries when out to lunch. Tater tots are my favorite freezer potatoes.

2

I like them any way, but I seldom cook so the potatoes at home are mashed (flakes). Choices are made when I’m able to eat out.

2

many ways, but i adore patatas bravas!

2

I rarely eat them because of the carbs but I allow myself a bit of homemade mashed or baked.

2

I love them any way, but sadly I have to watch my carbs.

2

I have yet to find a way l don't like them.

2

I love them. Most recently I have been roasting them with garlic and oregano them sprinkling with feta and Malden sea salt to serve

Papa's con chorizo! My favorite!

2

I've never had potatoes, any way cooked that I didn't like.

2

Cooked.

I'm with potatoes, like Bubba Blue was with shrimp.
My mashed potatoes are so good, they'll make you wanna slap your mama.

2

I seldom eat potatoes. My first wife was German, and cooked potatoes almost every day.Upon ending that unpleasant marriage, I did not eat another potato for 10 years.

In my belly please
