Are Potatoes a Staple of Your Diet? How Do You Eat Them?

I do cook and serve potatoes a lot for my family to eat. I however do not eat potatoes because they are a starch. I am a diabetic so I avoid such foods as potatoes, peas, and breads because they are starches. I eat mostly non starchy vegetables because they won't raise my sugar level as much.

Absolutely love home fries! But, I haven't made them in ages. Mostly because I don't like frying things with a little kid in the house. Back in the day we'd peel the potatos and slice them really thin like potato chips (maybe 1/8 inch thick) and then fry in oil. Very delicious! And, perfect with any southern dish. Unlike potato chips, southern style home fries are very substantial. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

I can be quite a fussy eater, so remember that when you invite me over for supper LOL! Seriously tho' I can't bear the taste of boiled potatoes, ewww! I have to admit I prefer potatoes made into chips or jacket potatoes but I don't tend to have them very much. I don't eat that many potatoes to be honest.

Well I eat my potatoes almost every day. I like them Country fried, French fries, scallops, mashed and hashbrowns.

I love potatoes. We used to have them almost every night in some form but we have cut down on them because of the carbs. Now we only have them twice a week

Potatoes is to westerners what rice is to asians. Rice is our staple, which we normally eat with a variety of dishes - vegetables, fish, meat or seafood, and soup sometimes. We do eat potatoes too as a dish, in all the ways you have described them in your diet. When we have western cuisine, where we eat steak, pork, lamb or chicken chops, fish and chips or grilled fish, coupled with salads and potatoes, where the potatoes come as hashbrown, fries or jacket potatoes. Interestingly, we also sometimes mash potatoes, then mix with some minced pork and onions, and shape them into potato patties to be fried. One popular pastry we eat that contains potatoes is curry puffs. This is like a shell-shaped pie, except that the inside is mainly cubes of potatoes and chicken, cooked with curry spices, then wrapped in pastry. The puffs are then either fried or baked.

I love baked Potatoes to I also enjoy them boiled and mashed, but I now do more baked Potato and new Potatoes boiled in their Skin and also with Butter on Baked Potato I will put Butter and Cheese on

i love mashing them with a fried onion and garlic. I put the onion and garlic through a blender after i have fried them then mash them with the potatoes. I will also often add a large dollop of youghert too blessed be

Ahhhh pototoes. The american food. HAHAHA! I love to wash then cut up Red taters leavbing the skin on. Boil them till tender. Drain and rinse. Add a splash of milk, lots of butter, some garlic powder or maybe crushed fresh garlic then mash them up. This is my favorite way to eat taters. I also like slicing them frying them in olive oil with some garlic cloves, fresh onions, afew different spices then add some sausage or some type of meat to them also as one whole meal in one pan. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I like them in every way possible thanks! Fried, mashed, french fried, baked with dripping butter or sour cream, boiled in garlic butter. Potato salads, cold, or hot in Casserole's, cottage pie, and a sputnik - mashed then wrapped around a vienna sausage and fried till brown.

I was raised on a farm and we had lot of potatoes for supper. Not many for breakfast or lunch. We had potatoe salad, baked potatoe with lots of butter..later I learned to like gravy but as a youngster I only like butter or oleo..(this was not allowed when my Dad had the dairy cattle..lol..only butter""_) scalopped potatoes was my favoriate but we did not get french fries as this was something my mom would not make..but i do love french fries from Wendy's, Hot 'n Now and Mc Donald's--also Sonic and Rally's is the best (methinks) I do like hashbrowns when I eat in a restaurant for breakfast..with ketchup on them... but I married a women from the Philippines and her staple is white rice...the people in the Philippines are crazy for white rice..i still prefer potatoes..rich is ok..but when mom cooked it she put something with it..like her homemade chili or Chung King chop suey in a can...or rice pudding or something called Ambrosia..white rice, coconut, pineapple etc etc..it was very tasty..

i like to peel potatoes and cut them into cubes boil them in water until soft then in a bowl olive oil salt pepper basil and i love baked potatoes i leave the skin on wash it well little margarine and salt pepper also i like to fry them with the skin on them cut into slices for fried potatoes until they are very soft then i top with catsup. i use mash potato powder mix with chicken broth as the liquid

Thank you for the lovely welcome. I meant to say you also add butter along with the nutmeg, parsley and milk. Really are lovely.

Potatoes are the one vegetable I love any way you can dish them up, they are so yummy no matter what, I am just not sure where they stand health wise, I have read so much, that they are good for you, they are not good for you, they are fattening they aren't fattening, I would like to think they are good because I would never think of giving them up simply because there are not any vegetable that I like enough to have as often as I can have potatoes...

I'm Irish, what else would I eat? I love home made potato cheese soup. In addition to all the ways you listed, my mom used to grate them and add them to pancakes, different but really good.

Wow Potatoes, an absolute luxury cheap food for a source of CarBohydrates! Apparently I am living in Singapore, Asia and our staple food is rice, however in Singapore, you can find all nationality food from Pasta, Rice, Bread, Naan, Prata, Noodles. Whatever you want to eat, you can find it here as it is known as food paradise!

Potatoes are the commodity in our diet which is first of all the cheapest and can go with any kind of food , and second of all my favourite , i love mashed potato , baked and buttered , as a crust in a sandwitch , youi name it i eat it :)

Hi. Sometimes we do have potatos with our meals, we dont eat them with every dinner meal. Potatos, Rice or Pasta all substitute each other in our house, one night we might have potatos along with our meal, the next night we might have a pasta dish or a rice dish with our meal, instead of plain old spuds. One of the favourite ways my family like to eat potatos, is in a bake with garlic, grated cheese and cheese sauce...

I have to admit that I am not much of a cook so I rely on my fiancee to cook most of my food for me. She makes a dish where she boils boneless pork ribs, fresh green beans, and potatoes all together with some seasoning. This is my favorite way to eat potatoes. I also enjoy potatoes fried with some onion in butter. Of course salt and pepper for seasoning. Mashed potatoes with some garlic or cheese added is also good.
