Potatoes are a favorite. So many ways to cook them. Tonight I cubed a few red potatoes and simmered them in a pan with a little olive oil, salt, pepper and parsley. I really like the little red potatoes. They are good just boiled with butter. Had some toast on the side and called it dinner. Not a lot but I was not very hungry. Have a great evening everyone. Any dinner plans out there I wonder?

Dinner is said and done. Those look good and I'd probably eat it. Red potatoes are my least favorite potato, I don't know why.

@CarolDM Russet or white potatoes were what I grew up on. I can't recall ever having red potatoes until I was out on my own.

@ScribbledAdNauseum We used to actually dig potatoes in the garden with our hands!

I was thinking that you roasted those red potatoes but they're boiled. What's the difference between rossted and boiled?

@CarolDM Well. Not to be a party pooper. But roasted is not done on the stovetop at all. Roasted is bathing the potatoes in herbs, spices, and some oil and then putting them into a roasting pan or a cookie sheet and cooking them in the oven. What you made are more akin to FRIED potatoes.

Boiled is using water, roasted is sort of simmered and stirred in a pan of olive oil or butter.

@CarolDM Sorry I am no cook. What I know about roasting here is the food is cooked over a fire.

For dinner, I had 2 fish fillets from the air fryer. I might finish some tuna salad that was leftover in the fridge later since dinner was rather early. A rather fishy day.

@CarolDM Although expensive, they are paid for in their first use.

Fish is good and healthy. I have heard many good things about the air fryers.

Potato! I love potatoes. My favorite dish is fried potatoes, lettuce and chicken. For me, potatoes alone are enough, fried without other side dishes. When I fry potatoes for myself, it's always a double serving.

@CarolDM My friend Dragan Cankovic cooks beans well. National dish, specialty. Very tasty. Tourists always order it at restaurants.

We're having pickled pork for dinner as we'll have guests. The pickled pork will give us cold leftovers for lunch the next day.

I like Maris Piper for roasting, they are on the fluffy side. I also like to roast sweet potatoes and butternut squash with the spuds. A good combo, me thinks

I LOVE potatoes. I just had a couple of protein bars for dinner.

That would be a delicious side, but not what I would consider a meal. But I am not going to argue that roasted potatoes are DELICIOUS.

One of my favorites! I add fresh garlic and rosemary to mine. Always a hit. We had omelettes with a slice of toast. My husband helped by chopping the onion and pepper and cleaning up. I wasn’t very hungry after my leftover Publix fried chicken for lunch!

It looks like sweet potatoes. In the Philippines, I love boiled sweet potatoes we call "camote" with grated coconut for breakfast or snack but it is only common in provinces not in big cities here.
