If you wait for a bit, they'll turn into a liquid that can REALLY help you with that sadness.

[–] fossphi@lemm.ee 3 points 4 hours ago

I've been diarrheal and sad at the same time, so joke is on you, buddy!

[–] PillowTalk420@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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

Fry them, scalloped, julienned too.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 1 points 9 hours ago

Fifteen birds in five fir-trees, their feathers were fanned in a fiery breeze! But, funny little birds, they had no wings! O what shall we do with the funny little things? Roast 'em alive, or stew them in a pot; fry them, boil them and eat them hot?

Burn, burn tree and fern! Shrivel and scorch! A fizzling torch To light the night for our delight, Ya hey!

Bake and toast 'em, fry and roast ’em till beards blaze, and eyes glaze; till hair smells and skins crack, fat melts, and bones black in cinders lie beneath the sky!

So dwarves shall die, and light the night for our delight, Ya hey! Ya-harri-hey! Ya hoy!

Fifteen Birds

Shouldn't it be called Starch Stadness?

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 9 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Is this a challenge? Because I'll cook you potatoes for a whole month and you will eat it and enjoy it.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I would love that. I would also get hella fat, but man, would I enjoy it.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 6 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

The thing is, unless you eat unreasonable amounts of potatoes, you wouldn't. Potatoes are a good food. And very flexible in terms of preparing.

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Friend, it is very risky to underestimate my sadness or my desire to eat ungodly volumes of potato.

Even riskier to try underestimating both at the same time.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 hours ago

Sadness and potatoes do not combine.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago

I would absolutely eat unreasonable amounts of potatoes. My Slavic bloodline would be proud.

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I feel like I'm one of the few people who really doesn't like potatoes. I mean I'll eat them, but if an alternative side dish is available, I'll usually go with that instead. (Loaded baked potatoes are good, though.)

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Do you mean potato potatoes? Or do you extend that to french fries, tater tots, and chips?

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 3 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

Anything potato-based. Including fries (tolerable w/cheese), tots, and most chips that aren't SC & Onion, BBQ, or Salt & V.

Edit: Oh and I like cheesy scalloped potatoes too. Now that I think about it, cheese is often the determining factor as to whether or not I'll enjoy a potato dish.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Oh wow. I honestly think I'd starve

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 1 points 13 hours ago

Sounds like a skill issue. Try adding more variety to your diet.

I love potatoes. In almost any form.

[–] Monzcarro@feddit.uk 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Are cheese curds easy to make? I would really like to make pouting but I won't be able to get the curds round here. Or is there a good substitute that's easier to acquire?

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

When you can't find curds ... we just use regular mozzarella ... you can fix it by playing the Canadian national anthem while you eat

[–] Monzcarro@feddit.uk 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Fantastic advice, thank you!

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

All joking aside, I live in northern Ontario where we have a large enough French Canadian culture up here and poutine is everywhere in just about every chip stand you can find.

A good true original Quebecois style poutine will be served with curds and gravy ... most places will even refer to it as just 'Quebecois Poutine'

A lesser, cheaper style is one where they just use mozzarella cheese instead. Most places just classify this as a 'Regular Poutine'. There are also many places that will use cheddar or some other type of cheese as a substitute.

And if you are ever wandering around this part of the country, or in most other places around Canada and you order a poutine ... ask them if it is a Regular or Quebec poutine ... the difference is in asking if the poutine has curds or any other type of cheese.

I mentioned that in order to fix your poutine without curds by playing the Canadian National anthem ... you should probably change that to instead playing the unofficial/official Quebec anthem Gens du pays

[–] Monzcarro@feddit.uk 3 points 9 hours ago

I would really love to try the Quebec type. Hopefully one day I will fetch to Canada to have the real stuff.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Mmm poutine, I can't not get some when going through Canada LMAO

[–] smol_beans@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

I do this every day 😅

Don't. You'll die.. of happiness.

There's no pot of gold at the end of the potato rainbow. I've been down that road.

[–] Coreidan@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

No, but there are potatoes. That’s all that matters

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 7 points 1 day ago (7 children)

Anyone have some favorite potato recipes to share?

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 5 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

Grab some small potatoes and throw them into something you can put in the oven. After washing the tubers, salt them heavily. No. Even more. No. More than that. Yes. That's it. Perfection.

Set the oven between 150 and 180 degrees Celsius and roast the potatoes. You want to see the skin starting to parch, loosening from the flesh, and slightly browning. The potatoes are boilling in their own juices, so they are going to end fluffy. Twenty to thirty minutes in the oven should suffice.

While the potatoes are in the oven, go get a small pot, three cloves of garlic and, if you can manage, a twig of rosemary. Smash the garlic, unpeeled, put a generous amount of olive oil in the pot and fry the cloves, until golden, along with the rosemary. Remove the solids with a spoon after fried. You now have aromatized olive oil.

Take the spuds from the oven, brush the excess salt off, set them on a board and give them a light tap. You should hear a pop as the skin breaks. Go ahead. Let out that pent up aggression. Done? Good.

Put the potatoes on your plate, drizzle with the olive oil, sprinkle some black pepper and, if you have it, a touch of nutmeg. Fresh; the powdered one is almost flavourless and is more expensive. Buy a whole nut.

Congratulations.

You just made batatas a murro (punched potatoes). Enjoy with some bread and, of you are a drinker, a glass of red wine. Peasants food is the best food.

After washing the tubers, salt them heavily. No. Even more. No. More than that. Yes. That's it. Perfection.

I'm probably the worst person to give this advice to because I already used so much salt. Sounds great, though! I'll have to give this a try.

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 2 points 20 hours ago

For a better baked potato, cover the skin in butter, olive oil, rosemary, and a dash of salt or MSG. Wrap in foil then bake.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Step 1 stab with fork step two use potato button in microwave. Step 3 cut in half and put literally anything on it it doesn’t matter what it’ll be yummy.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I don't think I've ever seen a microwave with a potato button.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

All the “sensor cook” microwaves have it in their menu. If you have one with that feature the code for it is probably on the inside of the door. It’s like the only food where the sensor cook works well for me.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 15 hours ago

I've never heard of that. I'll have to check.

[–] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

Preheat oven to 450. Wash two or three potatoes. Cut potatoes length wise, not too thick, not too thin. Tossed potatoes into mixing bowl with a dash of olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper to your liking. Place on baking sheet and cook an oven 20 to 25 minutes or until crispy Brown. In a medium size bowl mix equal parts, ketchup, mayonnaise, and a few shakes of Tabasco sauce. Remove fries from oven place on a plate and sprinkle a bit of shredded cheese of your liking serve and enjoy.

I have actually made that one a couple of times! It is very good.

[–] some_guy 3 points 1 day ago

This is the substance of my recipe note as it appears on disk:

prep:

fork ventilation
oil
spices

425 degrees
63 minutes

So, use a fork to stab air vents in russet potatoes. Slather them in cooking oil / vegetable oil. Add spices like ground black pepper, season salt, whatever suits you. Wrap them in foil. Bake on a pan (the oil may leak into the bottom of your stove otherwise). The rest, I'm sure you can figure out.

Cut them lengthwise and dump in butter and sour cream. Delicious.
