Who doesn't like (or care for but will eat) potatoes?
And if so, why? Which ones don't you like? Which ones do you like? And
why? (This all started in that darned rfc chat channel, in case you care.) I love potatoes. I don't eat them all the time but I like them just about any way you care to make them. Mashed, smashed, baked, fries, roasted, boiled, potato chips... I've never met a potato I didn't like (except for biting into a raw one). Jill |

I don't think I've ever seen proscuitto down this far south. Bet they would be equally good with your ham. Jill |

Gratine de pommes de Terre a la Dauphinoise ------------------------------------------------------ Thinly slice 2 & 1/4 lb. potatoes. Place in a basin, season with salt and pepper, and grated nutmeg an d add 1 beaten egg, 3 & 1/4 cup boiling milk and 4 & 1/2 ounces crumbled blue cheese. Mix well together then fill into well buttered baking dish which has been rubbed with garlic. Sprinkle the surface liberally with more blue cheese and butter and cook in a moderate over for 40 - 45 minutes. ----------- Or simply make some garlic mashed potatoes and fold in a generous quantity of blue cheese. --- JL |

"jmcquown" > wrote in message . .. > And if so, why? Which ones don't you like? Which ones do you like? And > why? (This all started in that darned rfc chat channel, in case you care.) Over the years my fondness for baked potatoes has been supplanted by a fondness for steamed yellow fins with a drizzle of EVO and lots of salt. I hardly ever buy potatoes though so I guess I can take them or leave them. If someone else prepares them ie french fries or a side dish in a restaurant, I usually enjoy them. |

Tried them because of rfc, somehow they came up and I wound up buying them just to see. Could live a long time without tater tots, I didn't like them very much. Same with the hash browns I have tried, I'd seriously prefer to make my own, and by hash browns I mean the potato pancake type. For the most part I love potatoes. Hard to think anyone couldn't find some way to like them. nancy |

I can eat plain boiled ones with a drop of butter as dinner, if I only cook for myself. With buttermilk, if I happen to have some in the refrigerator. And cottage cheese. :o) I do not use canned potatoes, instant potatoes or frozen ones, except for.....Hashed Browns. I use the Cavendish Brand ones, very sparingly, because they contain too much fat and salt, but they are really good, at least to my taste. As for canned ones, for years I attended an annual dinner at our synagogue, always sold out and the main course was always the same: Roasted Chicken (catered, I presume), frozen or canned vegetables and the most wonderful potatoes, tiny ones, canned by a restaurant supply house and the sisterhood members in charge of the meal would coat them lightly with a mixture of flour and spices, drizzle oil over them and bake them until golden brown. During the meal, these ladies would keep baking these potatoes, as many guest would ask for seconds. I never tried to duplicate them at home. I wonder whether they still serve that dinner there. |

I've never had canned potatoes prepared exactly like that. Maybe I would like them. I have tried slicing them and frying, but don't like them.

I've never met a potato I didn't like (except for > biting into a raw one). I am indifferent to potatoes. I rarely eat them more than once a week. My system seems to have trouble digesting them and they end up doing nasty things to me. I can get away with eating them once in a while but I cannot handle having them every day. I confess to liking fries, either French fries or home fries. I like them roasted or baked. I like small new potatoes boiled and buttered. |

That reminds me of the worst recipe I have ever seen, thanks to a cookbook made by co-workers for a fundraiser last Christmas. Check it: INGREDIENTS: 1 lb. ground hamburger 1 bag frozen tater tots (unspecified size) 1 can cream of mushroom soup (unspecified size) Crumble the raw hamburger in a casserole. Cover with tater tots and soup. Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees. I love potatoes and I like beef well enough, but this just sounds so gross it's unbelievable. And why would anyone submit this to a published recipe book? It's only marginally worse than the "Chinese" recipe which called for 9 packets of Sweet 'n' Low... Stacia |

Worst Recipe Ever(Was: Who doesn't like (or care for but will eat) potatoes?)
Stacia--I've got this recipe in a cookbook too--recipe is called "Mason
City Casserole". Calls for a pound of ground round, pound of tater tots and (the version I made) a can of cream of chicken soup. I was fool enough to try it--I love hamburger, and tater tots--thought, what the hell, what could go wrong? It was simply gross! I ended up dumping the leftovers (and boy, were there PLENTY of them) in the trash. Maybe the rats at the landfill got a windfall, but I agree with you. One of the WORST recipes ever.--r3 |

I'll vote for anything that is based on a can of cream of something soup as

So I have put on my thinking cap about what to do with leftover ham for when I buy one again. Jill |

I made it- it was edible, but WAY too salty- and I left out the salt the recipe called for! -- saerah http://anisaerah.blogspot.com/ "Peace is not an absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice." -Baruch Spinoza "There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened." -Douglas Adams |
