I like them as french fries. They're handy, not too messy, and easy to prepare and pop in the mouth.

Really?! I looooooooove mashed potatoes dripping with steaming thick, buttery gravy.If you think mashed potatoes are kids' food, it might help if you tried them home-style. Roughly-mashed (not the pureed consistency you find in baby foods) with a fork, and with the potato skin on. I find that a good way to ensure a chunky, flaky, non-pureed texture is to put a small amount of vinegar (yes, you read that right, vinegar) into the water along with the water when you boil your potatoes. Say, a teaspoon to a pound of potatoes. You may also want to eat your mashed potatoes while hot. They don't taste good if they're cold. If only you could eat mashed potatoes as finger food without making a mess, it'd be top on my list, instead of French Fries.

sorry it is still not for me. my wife cooks good and she tried to make chunky mashed potatoes but still its not for me. she even put some bacon chunks or what ever she thinks that would let me eat it. i will just taste it then thats it. sorry, your recipe sounds good i am going to share this with my wife. she loves mashed potato too and my child as well but i am not really a mashed potato eater.

I like fries and chips. I like baked potatoes with ketchup and mustard on them. I also like them with sour cream, cheese and bacos. Another good one is baked potatoes covered in salsa and southwestern ranch dip.

I am a big potato fan (in fact my nickname was spud when I was little because of how much I loved potatoes!) - I love french fries, mashed potatoes, and hash browns! Yummy!

MMM Potato Salad - I like potato salad
I love my potatoes made into potato salad! But it is so hard to find potato salad that I like when it comes to buying in restaurants. I'm not saying it tastes bad, because it really doesn't. I just like my potato salad to be a certain "consistency" which is smooth with chunks in between, not totally chunky or like mashed potatoes! If I want mashed potatoes, I'll order it. I usually make my own at home, but this is my preferred way of eating potatoes. That and i like it in beef stew!

I love potatoes *any* way I can get them. LOL My favorite way to have potatoes is sliced and fried with onions. I like to make them brown and crispy. I wonder how many ways there are to make a potato? Hmmm...

I don't know how to make french fries at home. I am afraid the result won't be as well as McDonald's french fries. So I like to make mashed potatoes at home. As my son loves eating it so much. And this is the only one vegetable that he will eat. So I like to make it for him.

Hello pebbles. We have many different ways of cooking potatoes. I love the boiled potatoes fried with some spicy little red pepper and green onion and ginger, which is very tasty. Also I love it sliced and cooked with some venegar and spicy pepper or green pepper. I also love smashed potatoes. I think that potatoes are very nice food with rich starch...
