An old Irish saying goes, “Only two things in this world are too serious to be jested on, potatoes and matrimony.” Potatoes are a true powerhouse in the kitchen. You can prepare some form of potato to be eaten with literally any meal. With the amount of different dishes, and sides you can make out of potatoes, I am surprised we aren’t at a shortage of them. Here are a few of my favorite ways to absolutely devour potatoes.
Baked: This is probably the most classic and way to enjoy a potato. The baked potato can be eaten with any meal. Usually served best with Lunch, and especially dinner, this form of potato is very easy to make. No matter how much experience you have in the kitchen, anybody can cook a baked potato. Deriving from the standard plain baked potato, come a ton of variations. Some examples are a loaded baked potato, which is a plain baked potato cut down the middle and stuffed with bacon bits, cheese, sour cream, lettuce, and really whatever you want. Potato skins are also somewhat easily made from a baked potato.
French Fries: I don’t need to say too much on this one, pretty much everyone with both sides of their brain knows what french fries are. Originating from the 1600s, french fries can be ordered and enjoyed at pretty much any restaurant you go to. Cooked in a different style everywhere you go, french fries are definitely a favorite amongst most people.
