What to do with lots of potatoes

Posted: Mar 12, 2013

I've got a huge bag of potatoes I bought on sale a week or so ago. Have a feeling they will go bad before I have a chance to eat them all. Anyone have any ideas what I can do with them?

You can do any number of things. My favorite is roasting them in the oven or on the grill. Ideas:

1) Roasting: Leave skin on. Cube them and place on a piece of tin foil which has been lightly greased. Season with whatever---salt, pepper, oregano, basil, whatever strikes your fancy. Then drizzle with olive oil (or other oil if you don't have olive), then mix it up a bit. Then fold the tin foil so the potatoes are covered and poke a few holes in the foil. Place in the oven or grill and roast them up, maybe 1/2 hour.

2) Make scalloped potatoes. Lots of easy recipes on the Internet.

3) Shred them up. Thinly slice onions. Make hash browns by sauteeing them in a pan with butter.

4) Place mashed potatoes on top of your favorite pot pie when the pot pie is almost all cooked, and brown the potatoes a bit before eating.

5) Instead of regular mashed potatoes, make them roasted garlic. Roast up some garlic cloves in the oven and just smash them into your regular mashed potatoes.

Leave the skin on and cut them in half and - place them (sm)

cut side down in a baking dish that has some melted margarine and parmesan cheese or other spices you like and bake for about 30 minutes or so. The cut side will get crispy and they'll be soft in the middle and you can reheat and they should freeze okay as well. Just an idea.

dish with potatoes, smoked sausage and onions fried in butter. I just slice or cube the potatoes, chop up onions, add fresh garlic, salt and pepper and fry them for a bit. Then I add cut up smoked sausage or kielbasa and add that. It is very good.

Peel and cut potatoes as you would for french fries. Place in a large sealable bowl or jar. Make a salt water and pour over and store in refrigerator. When you get ready to fry some, just be sure to pat dry with paper towels prior to dropping in hot oil. They keep a pretty good while in the refrigerator like this.

Slice potatoes very, very thin. Place on a greased cookie sheet. Spray slices with a little bit of olive oil. Bake in oven until they start getting crispy looking. It's not the same as the real McCoy, but it's pretty darn good. You can put ketchup on them if you'd like.

I just found a bag of russet potatoes in the back of my kitchen cupboard that I forgot I had. Was thinking I'd bake them for dinner tonight, but noticed they're not so firm anymore - kind of soft - and have roots sprouting from them. I thought I heard a long time ago that potatoes with roots aren't edible. Should I toss them, or bake them? =^^= ...

and could not believe how much everything in that store had gone up! You would be better shopping at Wal-Mart, Dollar General, or even Target! I was actually in shock.

I can "X" Big Lots of the store list I just don't step foot in anymore. :( ...

Well had the first cataract done today. In lots of pain today. I didn't know it would be this bad or I might have reconsidered having it done. Neighbor is putting my drops in though most people I talk with do it themselves. He was adamant. I hope I will be able to do it myself tomorrow. Please pray this pain goes away and the healing comes quickly. Anyway, the anesthesiologist prayed for me before we started. I appreciated that and was quite surprised. I hope I can drive myself p ...

I would love to raise some chickens but DH is against it. He hates them, says they're ugly, doesn't like eating chicken, and hates those "slimy eggs," hasn't eaten one in over 50 years, but I'm the opposite. Do you think I can convince him to let me raise a few? A few questions are: 1. How many chickens do you have? 2. If you live in northern states, do you insulate your coop to keep your chickens warm? 3. How many eggs per week do you get? 4 ...

Didn't want my reply to get buried below. I have a lifetime of experience with Alaska, western Canada (Alberta, BC), and the Pacific Northwest (WA, OR, ID) - and youth spent in the midwest (MO, KS). There's one thing you definitely need to consider right off the bat that has to do with climate indirectly, and it affects a lot of people very negatively - which is the more extreme differences in daylight hours between summer and winter as you move further north.
