I buy these so I can keep them in the pantry for 5 months then throw them away.

you can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. 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, shrimp and potatoes, potato burger, potato sandwich. that...that's about it

Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew.

Step 1: cut into pieces

Step 2: add to boiling water for ~20 min

Step 3: strain from water, add back into the pot (after rinsing it once), and combine with butter, onion, garlic, thyme and Old Bay

Step 4: let fry for a few minutes on medium heat, stirring

Step 5: turn heat to low and add a splash of milk

Step 6: mash; continue to add splashes of milk until the desired consistency is reached; add Parmesan cheese during the last few mashes

Step 7: serve with any meat/vegetable combo (peas are especially excellent)

Step 8: realize how amazing they are - buy more potatoes, thereby reducing your grocery bill

Step 9: quite literally PROFIT

You buy and keep them because they remind you of her. You monster.

Why? Potatoes are so good prepared in so many different ways! 1. Frying for french fries or wedges 2. Roast them mmm 3. Boil or steam 4. Throw them on the BBQ wrapped in foil 5. Baked potatoes

There are always some leftover in the bag that makes me guilty of this crime. I am sorry potato.

debianmike · 9 months

why not eat them?

Check your microwave...it may have a "potato" setting...cover it with a bowl and BAM! nice high fiber snack.

Put an apple in the bag to prevent sprouting.

Potato hash in minutes:

Microwave diced potato in water for about 3 minutes (don't peel it, it's like 7am, fuck that)
Drain, and then fry in frying pan with a lot of oil until brownish
Smother in salt and ketchup and eat with eggs, bacon, and toast

You just cooked breakfast. Wasn't even hard.

poopio · 9 months

I do the same, but sometimes I leave them there a little bit too long.

Quarter, toss in olive oil and s+p, then grill. Oh. My. God. So golden and crispy and giant french fry-ly.

[deleted] · 9 months

As someone who hasn't eaten in 3 days, I condemn you for tossing away delicious life bringing potatoes.

Ocrasorm · 9 months

Sometimes ours grow tentacles. Well i suppose because we keep a lot of soil on them. It makes them more flowery when you keep some of their soil on them. Only wash them when you are about to peal them.

I'm Irish so i suppose that is like having a PHD in Spuds.

You should throw them in the oven in case you want a baked potato later.

DON'T THROW THEM AWAY!!! They are the poor man's plant! My husband and I forget one every now and then and once they get really gnarly eyes, we plant them. Potatoes and Yams make beautiful, cheap, climbing plants.

Grate two potatos.

Put them on pan and add seasoning and hot sauce.

Flip and add cheese.

Stack and serve.

Eat.

Best hash brown ever. I eat this most days.

dip in vegetable oil

place on baking sheet

cover in salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, Parmesan cheese, or whatever you want

bake for 30 minutes at 400 degrees

eat!

That is the only reason I buy organic potatoes. At my grocery store, I can either buy a 5lb bag, or individual organically grown.

I'd forgotten about most of a bag in a cupboard once. The smell was terrible.

You're the reason why Ireland had a famine.

soulofWren · 9 months

Get a raw potato. Poke some deep holes in it with a fork. (trust me.) Rub it all over with vegetable oil Add salt and pepper microwave on high for between ten and fifteen minutes.

Weirdly enough, this is the second time I've posted this today.

BokehBurgher · 9 months

Me? I buy them so I can peel them into little eraser nubs as I obsessively carve out all the horrid little rot pockets. Don't get me started on the green skin.

MrakFink · 9 months

I found a potato in my pantry tonight with little spuds growing off of it. I chopped off the spuds, peeled it, sliced it into thin disks, threw the discs into a bowl with two tablespoons of olive oil and some ground pepper, tossed it all up, laid the discs out on a baking sheet covered in a thin layer of olive oil, baked that shit on 450F for 20 minutes or so, salted them, and then enjoyed some EXCELLENT potato chips.

tl;dr potato chips are incredibly easy and delicious.

not_a_wolf · 9 months

My room mate always argues about how shitty buying frozen meals are for the environment, your health, your wallet, etc. But at least 60% of her food goes bad before she has time to eat it. I'm pretty sure if you factor in all the extra food she has to buy due to food lost, she probably hurts the environment more and spends more money than I do with my frozen meals. Also frozen food being bad for you is a misconception. In most cases freezing food helps it retain nutrients.

Plant them tubers if they got eyes man. Growing potatoes should be a mandatory skill. Or at least if you want to know how to start growing food..... gardening rules

Let's see if I understand this:

You keep the potatoes for 5 months and have a vote about discarding them: "All those in favor?" "Aye!" "All those against?" No reply.

The eyes have it!

anyone remember the christmas present you got from your grandma like 18 year ago... the potato clock? Two potatoes acting like batteries to power a clock, pure genius.

EarBucket · 9 months

Slice them in half the long way.

Slice each half into wedges; thirds or quarters are good.

Put them in a bowl, toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. If you like spicy, add some chili powder, cumin, and cayenne.

Put them on a baking sheet, skin side down.

Bake at 425 for 45 minutes, and you have kickass steak fries.

dimsedk · 9 months

Oh hi, how are you holding up? Because I'm a potato.

Too fucking relevant. We just got one of these two weeks ago. 3 sacks of potatoes that were in our pantry already gone. Just ate some half drunk 10 minutes ago.

wow 5 months my organic potatoes hardly last 5 days and i usually eat them the first cause its yummy

tiffanydisasterxoxo · 9 months

but..but.. you can do so much with a potato. :< Fried, sauted, boiled/mashed, baked, french cut, in a stew, in a soup, make into potato chip.. so much you just through away?

timmy2step · 9 months

I keep em to see how long the tubers grow.

pizzoutmyazz · 9 months

Take like 6-8 potatoes, chop into 1 in cubes.. throw into water and boil one bunch chopped green onions for 10-15.. add half n half, cream corn, cooked and crumbled bacon, ragu cheese sauce and garlic salt, let simmer. For some beasty potato soup you can reheat for days :)

OrthodoxAtheist · 9 months

I banned my gf from buying any more. If we need 'em for stew, I'll get off my ass within the 24 hours before cooking, to go get some. Too many have liquified in our pantry resulting in lots of mozzi flies infiltrating our kitchen. Last time I figured they were to blame and I kicked the bag of potatoes, about 100 little flies started buzzing around inside. :| Makes you wonder when and how the eggs got there, huh. :| ::barf::

idiotboxq · 9 months

wait til month 6, they'll sprout and create new ones. No need to throw them away.

EvoEpitaph · 9 months

Poke some steam holes in one, stick it in the microwave for 4ish minutes, split it open and cover it with a slice of cheese or two.

Quick and delicious

ThanklessTask · 9 months

Do you have space to grow spuds (need depth), then stick some in the dirt and at least you won't have to buy them*

*This may a bit harder than just pushing a spud into the dirt depending on where you live...

AwesomeTowlie · 9 months

So, how are you holding up? Because I'm a potato.

The question here is : how to make potatoes keep longer.
I have had them sprout within week even if kept "In A Cool Dry Place".

Drewboy64 · 9 months

So the food that you can MICROWAVE to eat starts GROWING and the conclusion you come to is to throw it away?

BeerMe828 · 9 months

you, apparently are not irish. I lived with an irish guy for 3 years in undergrad, who would literally eat about 3 potatoes a day, plain. like apples. would drive to the grocery store in the middle of the night because he was craving raw potatoes. no joke.

My grandmother was very poor and had 13 brothers and sisters. Her mother (my great-grandmother) would cook potatoes. The kids would all put them in their pockets to keep them warm and then eat them for lunch. Fuckin' smart.

Grinch420 · 9 months

stoner pro tip: poke holes in potato with fork... stick in microwave for 4 min... turn over.. put back in for 2-3 min... take out of microwave and cut in half... put on shredded cheese.. put back in for 30 seconds... enjoy (not right away though or you will burn the shit out of yourself)!
