Spud Buds!

Hey @ale_inmelb! Tagging you in this very fun but VERY serious thread that discusses potatoes. I'm sure everyone would love to hear your thoughts!

@ale_inmelb What do you think makes a good potato dish? Does it need to feature the potato as the star, or can the potato be a side character?

@0ddsidian regardless the potato dish, cheese always makes it better, along with some type of salt

OMG @Former-Member! Potato and cheese is probably the best combination I have ever come across. Although I'm not even trying to think of any other combinations because that one makes me so hungry 🙃

Almost tempted to make a thread about cheese as well...

@0ddsidian omg yes cheese!!! have you heard of a Norwegian cheese called brunost or ski queen? I think it’s sometimes called gjetost as well, it literally tastes like smoky caramel fudge 😱 I was blown away the first time I tried it and now it’s one of my favourites

You're making me crave this cheese that I've got no idea about @lonemushroom !

Ooooooo! I haven't heard of that @lonemushroom. Is it just sweet or is it one of those sweet / salty combos? I'm wondering if it could be compared to cheesecake? (not me Googling "brunost in Australia" on my work laptop 🙃)

@0ddsidian @tyme it definitely is a sweet and salty combo but a bit more sweet than salty I’d say! it’s such a struggle to try and find in australia but I’ve seen it in a few european deli/grocery places before. I know harris farm pretty much always have it and I remember it being way more available in melbourne than anywhere else I’ve seen tbh

it goes so well with both sweet and savoury, I’ve had it on waffles before and in desserts and with fruit also. and yes, it’s even great with spuds!!!
