There's a potato for every occasion. Breakfast? Hash browns. Lunch? Fries. Dinner? Baked potato. Having a party? Potato chips. Wife divorced you and took the kids? Vodka.
Truly the most versatile tuber.
Breakfast: home fries
Lunch: latka, potato soup, chips
Dinner: mashed potatoes, scalloped potatoes, salt potatoes
Divoreced: even more vodka
Truly the utilitarian spud
God I fucking love that shit
I wish I could figure out how to make it savory enough, bad scalloped potatoes are undercooked, watery, and flavorless, and I desire to avoid this
How are you doing them? I can try and help figure it out.
I haven’t done enough for a recipe, but so far, slicing potato thinly and layering with milk cheese and seasoning hasn’t produced the exact result as restaurants, for example
So without knowing more I could only give general advice, but the serious eats article has a lot of useful stuff that might help you narrow it down.
My version uses nutritional yeast and cashews for the sauce, but a small bit of cinnamon with the paprika really helps.
Of course I should have checked with kenji
Has a guide for damn near everything
this is a pretty good start, but add in shredded cheddar and finely chopped broccoli. works with russet or yukon potatoes
Dessert: Fries with icecream
