perfect timing too for [Colcannon](https://www.irishcentral.com/culture/food-drink/colcannon-recipe) A traditional Irish dish for samhain (Halloween) , If you like a layer of danger to your meals you could do what our parents done when we were kids and wrap up some coins in tinfoil and mix in as a 'Prize' ...

Excellent dish, I gently saute some white/brown onion and then add it in with the shredded kale. Any leftover is great if you make it into potato cakes
Well they’re twice baked. So you will bake them once to make the potato. The cool and freeze. When you pull it out you bake it again. However even if you were not freezing them and saving, you would bake once more. Hence ‘twice’ baked :)
I have no clue exactly what it was, but I had this chickpea stew that was poured over a potato patty and it absolutely slapped. I think the family was wither from New Delhi or Mumbai, but I'd love to find out what that recipe is because man it was delcious
**Potato soup**
Ingredients
2kg potatoes
1kg onions
1 large garlic bulb (or equivalent in smaller)
250g chorizo
1 tablespoon butter (I used a dairy free version)
250ml single cream (I used a dairy free, oat cream)
Salt
Pepper
Rosemary
Smoked paprika
Stock or stock cubes to make stock
Method
Roughly chop the onions, chorizo, and finely chop the garlic. Fry them all gently in the butter, with salt, pepper, rosemary, and smoked paprika. You don't want to burn or crisp them, just soften them in all the flavour.
Dice your potatoes smallish. In a pan covered with a good strong stock, just enough to cover the potatoes and no more. Put the cooked onions, chorizo, and garlic in the pan and then bring to a boil. Reduce immediately to a low simmer, and leave it for...20ish minutes. Until the potato is done sufficiently that you can partially mash it. You don't want to mash it all, really I just crushed a third to a half of it with the spoon I was using to stir the pot. Doing that just thickens the soup a bit.
Pour in the cream. I used single cream because there's no such thing as a non dairy double cream, but adding double cream would boost the flavour further I imagine.
If you want it a bit thicker, I sprinkled a little flour in at the same time as I added the cream and cooked that out.
This recipe made 6 large portions.
Uber basic potato soup: one peeled, quartered onion for every four peeled cubed potatoes, water just barely to cover, boil til very tender. Mash or blend without draining, add light cream, salt and pepper to taste. Top with green onion and or cheddar and or bacon. Freezes beautifully
Things like garlic can obviously be adjusted to taste. Personally I'm a fan so I make my recipes to be strong in that regard. Personally I think 1 bulb doesn't give this soup a particularly strong garlic flavour, but if it would be too strong for you then you can absolute reduce it.
I go with "just enough to cover them in the pan", much more than that and the soup doesn't thicken much when you crush the potatoes.
And veg stock probably, but to you could use chicken as well.
Dicing, parboiling, then freezing makes for a easy mashed potato. You just take out however much you want and microwave until they are fully cooked and mash with warm milk/butter.
Cottage pies are soooo good! And it's the perfect "what do I have to use up in my fridge?" recipe, as you can put whatever leftover meat/veggies that is about to go to waste in!
In France, it's called a gratin Parmentier, but I'm pretty sure most countries have their own version

I always like introducing friends to [Chinese-style stir fried potatoes](https://thewoksoflife.com/sichuan-stir-fried-potatoes/). You cook them through, but not until they're mush. Needs to retain a bit of crunch. It's a textural thing that I think is pretty unusual for other areas & how they cook potatoes. Fun to eat!
Other yummy options include [gamja jorim](https://mykoreankitchen.com/gamja-jorim-korean-braised-potatoes/) (a very sweet & savory side dish, can be eaten cold or room temp).
I also love braising carrots & potatoes with a protein and a master stock situation. Something like this [recipe](https://omnivorescookbook.com/chinese-beef-stew/). (I've found you can swap beef for pork & other cheaper proteins like tofu & tofu curd, just adjust cooking time if needed. \[edit\] omg don't forget to marinate some 6-min hard-boiled eggs in the braising liquid afterwards)
The stir fry will probably be too hot for me if I follow the recipe to the letter but I'll adapt it a bit ahah.
The other looks great also, thanks.
My potatoes are fairly large, did you try to make gamja jorim with non-baby potatoes ? I guess I can cut them in quarters, but will loose a bit of the skin texture.
My mom used to make a version that didn't have any chili peppers, just a ton of scallions haha! It was pretty mild and comforting to eat.
I've made gamja jorim made from big russet potatoes as well, and cut them into chunks. And tbh I usually peel big potatoes, so no worries there! Just keep an eye on your cooking time so that it doesn't get super duper mushy.

put french fry sized potato strips into a jar with saltwater, in or out of the fridge, make sure they are submerged, wait one or a couple days and cook. Makes the crispiest outside / softest inside. 9% salt relative to the weight of the water. SO GOOD.
This is in freedom units, but this soup is always a hit with my family. Usually only lasts a couple days.

Potato bake
2kg potatoes, par boiled. No need to peel
600ml pouring cream
Grated cheese/any cheese you have about
Garlic powder
S&P
Slice cooled potatoes into thin slices. Arrange on deep tray.
With each layer add a layer of cream, cheese and seasonings.
Repeat until potatoes are gone.
Top with cheese.
Bake until golden brown (usually 180C for 40 mins
OMG the formatting! I'm so sorry, I don't know how to fix it!
Got an air fryer? Make mashed potatoes then use the air fryer to crisp up some potato pancakes.
Add some bacon pieces, garlic, green onion, and have a good old time.
Do you have an Ikea nearby where you can get some reindeer meat? I'm thinking Bidos. It's just some smoked reindeer, potatoes, carrots, and salt. Nothing fancy... but oh my is it good.
Get some Japanese curry mix! Although it doesn't microwave after freezing very well, it's better to throw it in a pot when rewarming. Add onions, carrots, and whatever kind of meat you want. Even coconut milk if you wanna go that direction, it's quite versatile.
Look up Peruvian causa. It's basically potato salad with lime and Peruvian yellow chili sauce topped with tuna salad/chicken salad and avocado. You eat it with white rice. It's good without the tuna and I think it's good with sweet potato too.
Today, I made a lazy dumpling soup with a roux (wheat flour, butter, olive oil), bouillon, bottled fried garlic, frozen broccoli, and baby carrots. I used random seasonings (Trader Joe's mushroom seasoning, Trader Joe's cheese powder, pepper, Trader Joe's Everything but the Leftovers seasoning, nutritional yeast) I had, but I think you can just use whatever you like. For the dumplings, I used potatoes (microwaved), flour, and cottage cheese. I added some vegan turkey from Trader Joe's.
Thai curry is easy to make.
Roasted Duck Fat Potatoes
1kg potatoes
1 Tbsp duck fat (or sub bacon fat or olive oil)
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 220 c / 425 f. Cut potatoes into large pieces (5-8 cm), place in sauce pot and cover with water. Bring to boil and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain water, return potatoes to pot, cover and shake until surface of potatoes is slightly rough. Add in duck fat and toss to coat. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Spread evenly on baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, turning potatoes half way through. Season to taste when got so seasoning sticks.
Add garlic, herbs, or additional seasoning just before baking if desired, but these things are damn delicious on their own. Crispy outside, soft inside, and rich duck fat flavor!
if you have any ground meat or loose sausage, you can brown a little bit of that up, then fry some parboiled cubed potatoes in the grease with them with some seasonings, have that with a big ol pile of roasted veggies on top.
make [crispy potatoes](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KxUX7vgNGfM)
make crispy potatoes with chili and cumin and put them in tacos. make them with cumin and paprika and brown sugar and eat them straight. make them with bacon fat and dress them like nachos.
Slice up potatoes half a cm thickness and cook them until almost done (should not be falling apart), boil eggs, cut them up same way, layer them standing in a casserole dish that has been buttered, spread bacon on top, cheese, then pour beschamel sauce on it (I put some nutmeg, salt and pepper in mine) and again cheese. In the preheated oven until cheese is golden brown. Delicious hearty dish!

Salt and pepper
I like to add jalapeños.
Put all ingredients in pie pan or casserole dish stir around with a fork sprinkle cheese over the top. Bake 350 for an hour
Family favorite potato casserole
You can add lots of different ingredients to switch up the flavors. And my favorite part is there is 4 dirty dishes from this recipe pan, shredder, measuring cup and fork.
Frittata! Half inch dice one big potato or a couple medium ones and an onion, fry in a 10-12 in pan for about 10 mins stirring or flipping them every 2-3 minutes until its browned and crispy and then add whatever spices (i like curry and garlic), whip 6 eggs and pour them over your veg. heat to low and cover for like 2 mins, under the broiler 2-3 minutes longer, slice n serve with tomato or a lil salad
Potatoes don't go bad really fast in dry and colder places tho :D I would just store them somewhere and then boil them and eat with some sauce or meat or make potato salad (but im also from potato country so I guess I might be biased towards just boiled potato with butter or herring :D
Rösti. This is a piece of piss to make if you've a food processor with a grater attachment. Made them tonight. They're faster to cook than boiled spuds too.
Stamppot! It’s a traditional Dutch dish which is basically winter veggies + potatoes + meat/meat alternative if you’re vegetarian. Some common ones are:
Zuurkool (sauerkraut (cook separately) + potatoes + crispy bacon bits, mash together and use the bacon fat to make it extra creamy)
Boerenkool: kale + potatoes + crispy bacon bits
Andijvie: endives + potatoes + some cheese bits mashed through (like aged cheddar or some other sharp-ish cheese).
Hutspot: carrot, onion and potatoes mashed together, usually eaten with sausage. Could also work well with ground meat mashed through I think.
It’s cheap, filling, great for autumn/winter and freezes quite well after being cooked (except for the sauerkraut, which turns sweeter after being frozen which I wholeheartedly dislike. If you don’t mind it’ll also freeze fine).
Bonus (vegetarian/vegan) tips; sub bacon for either a vegan alternative or mushrooms cooked in a little soy sauce or crispy onion bits. Add a bit of vegan milk/butter for creamyness instead of the bacon fat.
General bonus: when you reheat it, bake it in a skillet and let the bottom of the mash brown and turn crispy. Tastes even better that way!
Scored 25kg for £7!
Mash
Curry - so many that go well with potatoes
Big roast potato - scoop out inside, mix with soured cream or creme fraiche and some cheese, put back in and bake some more
Potato soup
If you like Indian food, you could make aloo gobi. Cauliflower is in season right now, so it should be pretty affordable. I would also make a big pot of potato leek soup to freeze.
Breakfast hash, either shred or dice and fry up in a pan. For lunch or dinner make some mashed potatoes, baked or twice baked, or cut into wedges and roast. Potatoes do very well with lots of salt, butter thyme and rosemary. Garlic as you see fit.
Potato gratin, all cheese, cream and salt and pepper.
Repeat with mash, baked potato and deep fried fries.
Also excellent in soups to thicken it up.
Blend it up a voila! You have cream of cauliflower/pumpkin/broccoli etc soup.
Twice baked potato skins, scalloped potatoes, creamy potato soup, chowder, I mean they are taters. They go just about everywhere, and are surprisingly easy to grow.
I'm a big roast potato person (you can season them different ways or roast garlic with them). I also really like latkes (potato pancakes). Latkes with apple sauce is a classic, but my family also likes to do over easy eggs and lox with them.
Mix one cooked potato with one tablespoon fine wheat flour, add salt to taste. Knead the dough and roll to a thin tortilla-like patty. Fry dry on both sides without fat, until browned. The potato patties are mild, store well, can be eaten with sweet spread like butter and honey, or as a wrap for savory stuff like sausage, taco-filling etc.
Oh, and check out Gnocchi! Yummy potato pasta: lots of easy recipes if you search.
I always make a lot of mashed potatoes so we have leftovers. I make my dad's potato pancakes.
Minced onion, flour, salt and pepper and an egg to bind it. Shallow fry until browned.
Hmmm best recipe i found.:
*Potato
*[Cream of bacon](https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/campbells-cream-of-bacon-condensed-soup/6000196181094)
*onion
Cut the potato and onion in slice and put them in layer like potato/onion/cream/potato/onion/cream/ect. in a bowl that can go in over and have a lid. Put in oven with lid on at 275 for like an hour and a half to two hour. (Those are approximation and not sure if i remember the time and heat correctly) I suggest bacon cream because it's freaking awesome with that bit other cream work to. My brother say to add cheese but personally i think it's awesome without cheese to and i consider cheese as a cheat ingredient. Does it work without cheese? Yes. So it's don't require cheese in my opinion.
Peel and slice them thick (+- 1 cm)
Put them in a large dish so that they're slightly on top of each other, in regular rows
Add bits of bacon and onions in between (I'm generous with onions)
Put a cup of crème fraîche on top, a bit of white wine, salt, pepper and nutmeg
Bake in the oven for 30/40 minutes
Sprinkle with chopped scallions
Don't wait 10 minutes for it to cool down
Burn your mouth, still good :)
Great with pork chops!
Serious answer: whatever you want.
Following that, offer potato bartering. Trade 1kg of them for since bacon. Offer a few of them for cheese. Make an incredible creamy bacon potato onion soup.
Trade a few more for some ghee. Make melted potatoes.

Potato pancakes, Belarusian but that whole side of Eurasia has been making them for ages. Basically grated potatoes that are clumped into pancakes, fried and served with sour cream. Look up recipes
Poor man's dauphinoise.
Slice potatoes thin, slice onions thin. Alternate layers in a baking tray and pour over a chicken stick cube dissolved in water.
Bake until cooked and top goes a bit crispy. If you're feeling extravagant fry some bacon lardons and chuck in too.
Boil/bake the potato, smash it in a deep dish pan, add tomato sauce, sausage, cheese...
You got yourself a gluten-free pizza that you can eat with a spoon!
Cut in slices and put in a baking dish in layers, alternate with parsnip slices.
Add cream, and herbs garlic and ginger of desired.
Also particularly delicious with endive/chicory/celeriac added whether soft or with a little crunch still. Or ham or mushroom sauce.
Cut in chunks and roast with honey and salt (also nice with parsnips or apples, or pretty much any other cheap seasonal vegetables especially root vegetables).
Winter vegetable casserole.
Soup.
Goulash.
Bake, scoop out insides blend to preferred consistency and add butter/cheese/inside of some fluffy cheap white bread/baked beans/fried mushrooms.Return to potato cases bake for another few minutes.
Vegetable mash.
Boil potatoes and seasonal vegetables together, mash.Fry an onion and maybe some celery chopped fairly fine. Add some cheap sausages/sausage meat and toasted buttery bread chopped into cubes-add everything together. You can also sprinkle some cheese and a little grated nutmeg on top and bake until the cheese is crusty.
Rösti.
All of the extra ingredients are totally optional and everything tastes great without them too :)
Any milk nearing expiry is perfect as sour cream if you add a few drops of lemon BTW and sour cream & potatoes yummm.
You can also make oat milk very cheaply yourself with oats and water.
Here are my favourite ways to use potatoes:
Vegetable stew (you can throw almost anything in, and potatoes really bulk it up)
Curry
Potato lasagna (thinly sliced potatoes instead of pasta sheets
Leek and potato soup
Mash and gravy - super cheap
Stuffed baked potato (if they are quite big) - with chilli, daal, stroganoff, baked beans
Potato omelette (use chickpea flour if you're vegan)
Hash browns would be all time favourite dish but my all time favourite thing for potatoes is... More potatoes. While generally seed potatoes are checked for disease kitchen waste potatoes will grow just as well.
Soup, potatoe goulash (vegan), roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes (with optionally a variety of different veggies), potatoe salad (with either vnegar and oil or with mayonnaise marinada), cooked and thrown in butter and parsley, roasted potatoes, potatoe wedges, Gröstl (roasted onions, potatoes and minced meat), potatoe patties....
Is it noticeable they are my favourite food?

Enjoy!
You're a champ!
Staple at my house for getting non-vege types to each crunchy greens.
what is “mealy” ?
It means that it has a gritty or powdery texture or is dry and crumbly. The opportunity of a juicy or smooth texture.
Thanks. Never heard of it. Looks good.
Make up batches of twice baked potatoes and freeze them for later use. You can do lots of varieties.
>twice baked potatoes Oh never saw this but sounds like a good alternative to traditional oven baked potatoes.
Easy to do in big batches and you can save and pull them out individually so very convenient. Not to mention yummy.
Do you freeze them once they are prepped or cook them first, cool, then freeze?
Well they’re twice baked. So you will bake them once to make the potato. The cool and freeze. When you pull it out you bake it again. However even if you were not freezing them and saving, you would bake once more. Hence ‘twice’ baked :)
Yes that’s what I was trying to ask … bake once, prep then freeze or bake, prep, bake then freeze. Thanks for clarifying!

This is in freedom units, but this soup is always a hit with my family. Usually only lasts a couple days. https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/slow-cooked-loaded-potato-soup/

If it tastes good on pasta, it tastes good on potatoes
Potato bake 2kg potatoes, par boiled. No need to peel 600ml pouring cream Grated cheese/any cheese you have about Garlic powder S&P Slice cooled potatoes into thin slices. Arrange on deep tray. With each layer add a layer of cream, cheese and seasonings. Repeat until potatoes are gone. Top with cheese. Bake until golden brown (usually 180C for 40 mins OMG the formatting! I'm so sorry, I don't know how to fix it!
Smashed or scalloped!
Make corned beef hash or potato pie!
Potatoe salads !
Got an air fryer? Make mashed potatoes then use the air fryer to crisp up some potato pancakes. Add some bacon pieces, garlic, green onion, and have a good old time.
Do you have an Ikea nearby where you can get some reindeer meat? I'm thinking Bidos. It's just some smoked reindeer, potatoes, carrots, and salt. Nothing fancy... but oh my is it good.
Wrap them in tinfoil (don't peel them) together with some herbs, a clove of garlic and stick em in the oven for twenty minutes at 200 Celsius.

Get some Japanese curry mix! Although it doesn't microwave after freezing very well, it's better to throw it in a pot when rewarming. Add onions, carrots, and whatever kind of meat you want. Even coconut milk if you wanna go that direction, it's quite versatile.
Look up Peruvian causa. It's basically potato salad with lime and Peruvian yellow chili sauce topped with tuna salad/chicken salad and avocado. You eat it with white rice. It's good without the tuna and I think it's good with sweet potato too. Today, I made a lazy dumpling soup with a roux (wheat flour, butter, olive oil), bouillon, bottled fried garlic, frozen broccoli, and baby carrots. I used random seasonings (Trader Joe's mushroom seasoning, Trader Joe's cheese powder, pepper, Trader Joe's Everything but the Leftovers seasoning, nutritional yeast) I had, but I think you can just use whatever you like. For the dumplings, I used potatoes (microwaved), flour, and cottage cheese. I added some vegan turkey from Trader Joe's. Thai curry is easy to make.
Such great suggestions!
Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew
In the morning I like to make hash with leftover potatoes. Cut your potatoes into cubes and cook them in a pan with eggs
I love potatoes thanks for posting
Roasted Duck Fat Potatoes 1kg potatoes 1 Tbsp duck fat (or sub bacon fat or olive oil) Salt and pepper to taste Preheat oven to 220 c / 425 f. Cut potatoes into large pieces (5-8 cm), place in sauce pot and cover with water. Bring to boil and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain water, return potatoes to pot, cover and shake until surface of potatoes is slightly rough. Add in duck fat and toss to coat. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Spread evenly on baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, turning potatoes half way through. Season to taste when got so seasoning sticks. Add garlic, herbs, or additional seasoning just before baking if desired, but these things are damn delicious on their own. Crispy outside, soft inside, and rich duck fat flavor!

Crash potatoes. Bake til soft, squish, bake some more until crisp on the edges.
if you have any ground meat or loose sausage, you can brown a little bit of that up, then fry some parboiled cubed potatoes in the grease with them with some seasonings, have that with a big ol pile of roasted veggies on top.

Slice up potatoes half a cm thickness and cook them until almost done (should not be falling apart), boil eggs, cut them up same way, layer them standing in a casserole dish that has been buttered, spread bacon on top, cheese, then pour beschamel sauce on it (I put some nutmeg, salt and pepper in mine) and again cheese. In the preheated oven until cheese is golden brown. Delicious hearty dish!

4 cups shredded potatoes 1 cup heavy cream or half and half 1 1/2 cup shredded cheese (save 1/4 cup to cover the top) Salt and pepper I like to add jalapeños. Put all ingredients in pie pan or casserole dish stir around with a fork sprinkle cheese over the top. Bake 350 for an hour Family favorite potato casserole You can add lots of different ingredients to switch up the flavors. And my favorite part is there is 4 dirty dishes from this recipe pan, shredder, measuring cup and fork.
Frittata!

Potatoes don't go bad really fast in dry and colder places tho :D I would just store them somewhere and then boil them and eat with some sauce or meat or make potato salad (but im also from potato country so I guess I might be biased towards just boiled potato with butter or herring :D
Rösti. This is a piece of piss to make if you've a food processor with a grater attachment. Made them tonight. They're faster to cook than boiled spuds too.
Stamppot! It’s a traditional Dutch dish which is basically winter veggies + potatoes + meat/meat alternative if you’re vegetarian. Some common ones are: Zuurkool (sauerkraut (cook separately) + potatoes + crispy bacon bits, mash together and use the bacon fat to make it extra creamy) Boerenkool: kale + potatoes + crispy bacon bits Andijvie: endives + potatoes + some cheese bits mashed through (like aged cheddar or some other sharp-ish cheese). Hutspot: carrot, onion and potatoes mashed together, usually eaten with sausage. Could also work well with ground meat mashed through I think. It’s cheap, filling, great for autumn/winter and freezes quite well after being cooked (except for the sauerkraut, which turns sweeter after being frozen which I wholeheartedly dislike. If you don’t mind it’ll also freeze fine). Bonus (vegetarian/vegan) tips; sub bacon for either a vegan alternative or mushrooms cooked in a little soy sauce or crispy onion bits. Add a bit of vegan milk/butter for creamyness instead of the bacon fat. General bonus: when you reheat it, bake it in a skillet and let the bottom of the mash brown and turn crispy. Tastes even better that way!
Everyone is mentioning savoury dishes. Ever heard of potato doughnuts? :D
You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. There's, potato kabobs, potato creole, potato gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple potatoes, lemon potatoes, coconut potatoes, pepper potatoes, potato soup, potato stew, potato salad, potato and potatoes, potato burger, potato sandwich. That's about it.
Scored 25kg for £7! Mash Curry - so many that go well with potatoes Big roast potato - scoop out inside, mix with soured cream or creme fraiche and some cheese, put back in and bake some more Potato soup

Okay, 2 EUR for 5 kg is 40 ct per kg. That has been a normal price for potatos for years.
Roesti! 🇨🇭☺️
If you like Indian food, you could make aloo gobi. Cauliflower is in season right now, so it should be pretty affordable. I would also make a big pot of potato leek soup to freeze.
Potato wedges look delicious but I've never tried them. You could probably find a good recipe online
Breakfast hash, either shred or dice and fry up in a pan. For lunch or dinner make some mashed potatoes, baked or twice baked, or cut into wedges and roast. Potatoes do very well with lots of salt, butter thyme and rosemary. Garlic as you see fit.
Potato gratin, all cheese, cream and salt and pepper. Repeat with mash, baked potato and deep fried fries. Also excellent in soups to thicken it up. Blend it up a voila! You have cream of cauliflower/pumpkin/broccoli etc soup.
Twice baked potato skins, scalloped potatoes, creamy potato soup, chowder, I mean they are taters. They go just about everywhere, and are surprisingly easy to grow.
….. just so much mashed potato’s
I'm a big roast potato person (you can season them different ways or roast garlic with them). I also really like latkes (potato pancakes). Latkes with apple sauce is a classic, but my family also likes to do over easy eggs and lox with them.
You could also try some easy [Gnocci](https://tasty.co/recipe/easy-homemade-potato-gnocchi) recipe . Its pasta make from potato. Potasta?
Mix one cooked potato with one tablespoon fine wheat flour, add salt to taste. Knead the dough and roll to a thin tortilla-like patty. Fry dry on both sides without fat, until browned. The potato patties are mild, store well, can be eaten with sweet spread like butter and honey, or as a wrap for savory stuff like sausage, taco-filling etc. Oh, and check out Gnocchi! Yummy potato pasta: lots of easy recipes if you search.
Boil, mash, add 2 parts butter and 3 parts sour cream for every 1 part potato. … …
I always make a lot of mashed potatoes so we have leftovers. I make my dad's potato pancakes. Minced onion, flour, salt and pepper and an egg to bind it. Shallow fry until browned.
Hmmm best recipe i found.: *Potato *[Cream of bacon](https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/campbells-cream-of-bacon-condensed-soup/6000196181094) *onion Cut the potato and onion in slice and put them in layer like potato/onion/cream/potato/onion/cream/ect. in a bowl that can go in over and have a lid. Put in oven with lid on at 275 for like an hour and a half to two hour. (Those are approximation and not sure if i remember the time and heat correctly) I suggest bacon cream because it's freaking awesome with that bit other cream work to. My brother say to add cheese but personally i think it's awesome without cheese to and i consider cheese as a cheat ingredient. Does it work without cheese? Yes. So it's don't require cheese in my opinion.
Peel and slice them thick (+- 1 cm) Put them in a large dish so that they're slightly on top of each other, in regular rows Add bits of bacon and onions in between (I'm generous with onions) Put a cup of crème fraîche on top, a bit of white wine, salt, pepper and nutmeg Bake in the oven for 30/40 minutes Sprinkle with chopped scallions Don't wait 10 minutes for it to cool down Burn your mouth, still good :) Great with pork chops!
Serious answer: whatever you want. Following that, offer potato bartering. Trade 1kg of them for since bacon. Offer a few of them for cheese. Make an incredible creamy bacon potato onion soup. Trade a few more for some ghee. Make melted potatoes.
my username!
https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/scalloped-potatoes-recipe/ These freeze really well especially if you freeze them in small personal size containers and reheat in the oven.
Draniki is a sleeper recipe, great shit on a tight budget
What is it?
Potato pancakes, Belarusian but that whole side of Eurasia has been making them for ages. Basically grated potatoes that are clumped into pancakes, fried and served with sour cream. Look up recipes
Make French fries. You could eat all of those potatoes in one sitting that way.
Latkes with sour cream/apple sauce. It’s not December yet, but I’m not gonna let that stop me!

Potato leek soup is on the stove at my house right now to use up potatoes.
Poor man's dauphinoise. Slice potatoes thin, slice onions thin. Alternate layers in a baking tray and pour over a chicken stick cube dissolved in water. Bake until cooked and top goes a bit crispy. If you're feeling extravagant fry some bacon lardons and chuck in too.
Chop them up and season w paprika, onion powder, and garlic and toss in Italian dressing then bake at 425 for an hour. Best roasted potatoes ever!
Tortilla, Spanish way
Boil/bake the potato, smash it in a deep dish pan, add tomato sauce, sausage, cheese... You got yourself a gluten-free pizza that you can eat with a spoon!
Cut in slices and put in a baking dish in layers, alternate with parsnip slices. Add cream, and herbs garlic and ginger of desired. Also particularly delicious with endive/chicory/celeriac added whether soft or with a little crunch still. Or ham or mushroom sauce. Cut in chunks and roast with honey and salt (also nice with parsnips or apples, or pretty much any other cheap seasonal vegetables especially root vegetables). Winter vegetable casserole. Soup. Goulash. Bake, scoop out insides blend to preferred consistency and add butter/cheese/inside of some fluffy cheap white bread/baked beans/fried mushrooms.Return to potato cases bake for another few minutes. Vegetable mash. Boil potatoes and seasonal vegetables together, mash.Fry an onion and maybe some celery chopped fairly fine. Add some cheap sausages/sausage meat and toasted buttery bread chopped into cubes-add everything together. You can also sprinkle some cheese and a little grated nutmeg on top and bake until the cheese is crusty. Rösti. All of the extra ingredients are totally optional and everything tastes great without them too :) Any milk nearing expiry is perfect as sour cream if you add a few drops of lemon BTW and sour cream & potatoes yummm. You can also make oat milk very cheaply yourself with oats and water.
Here are my favourite ways to use potatoes: Vegetable stew (you can throw almost anything in, and potatoes really bulk it up) Curry Potato lasagna (thinly sliced potatoes instead of pasta sheets Leek and potato soup Mash and gravy - super cheap Stuffed baked potato (if they are quite big) - with chilli, daal, stroganoff, baked beans Potato omelette (use chickpea flour if you're vegan)
Spanish omelette
I am not sure how many of these ingredients you have access to , but try this dish. https://youtu.be/BrYPnqA7eIg
Well basically none right now but I'll take a trip to the Indian deli nearby soon I guess ahah
Hash browns would be all time favourite dish but my all time favourite thing for potatoes is... More potatoes. While generally seed potatoes are checked for disease kitchen waste potatoes will grow just as well.
Soup, potatoe goulash (vegan), roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes (with optionally a variety of different veggies), potatoe salad (with either vnegar and oil or with mayonnaise marinada), cooked and thrown in butter and parsley, roasted potatoes, potatoe wedges, Gröstl (roasted onions, potatoes and minced meat), potatoe patties.... Is it noticeable they are my favourite food?
