Spud Buds!

Spud Buds!

Potato is life!!

Hiya Forums Pals!! By popular request (care of several superstar attendees in one of our mental health recovery groups, and a cracker of an ice breaker), this space is for all lovers of potatoes, and all their glorious forms!!

We ask now the whole forums community to join us in our admiration of this fine root vegetable. But, this may split the community asunder as we discuss....

What do you think is the superior form of the humble potato?

Is it the classic hash brown? The noble potato gem? Or the oft-overlooked mash? Maybe something obscure, like gnocchi?

Let us know gang!!

@MissGremlin LMAO, oh it's even worse for me as Gluten free bread tastes so bad, plus my egg allergy stops me from having it too. Best I can hope for is a gluten free wrap instead of the bread!

Re: Spud Buds!

@creative_writer yesssss always home baked!! My sister used to prefer Deb instant mashed potatoes to home cooked, I could NOT get amongst it 😂

@0ddsidian shoe-string... nahhhh CURLY fries all the way!!

or waffle fries, mmmmmm 🤤

@Bow omg saw someone who put potato gems into their waffle iron to make potato waffles! Never before have I so badly wanted a waffle iron!!

@Former-Member bahaha YES!! We do the MASH, the potato mash!! Whenever cheese gets involved with potatoes? That is pretty grate!!

@MissGremlin been a MINNIT since I've had a hot chip sanga!! Also it's the sweet-salty combo, like how people froth off salted caramel? I'm not a chips-in-ice-cream person but that sweet salty combo can be dangerous....looking at you choc-coated pretzels!!

@NightFury mmmm well por que no los dos? 😂
Potato bake does have cheese tho...

@Jynx Speaking of Mash, my kids didn't realise mashed potato was meant to be white until after the divorce from their mother. She would insist on carrot, pumpkin as many other veggies as possible being added. At last I was free to make mash the way it should be made, cheese, butter, milk, herbs, salt, pepper, chicken salt and mashed like a mad man!

Re: Spud Buds!

Potato gems in general

Mash potato with seeded mustard is SO good though!
