I did while growning up but now I only eat potatoes that are made into french fries or instant mashed potatoes. I got sick of eating the other kinds of potatoes! I was raised on a farm and we ate alot of potatoes! Most of them were grown in our garden! No wonder I don't care from potatoes like I used to!

I really like all kinds of potatoes. I can understand where you are coming from though as far as not liking them anymore. I am so burned out on alot of foods these days that I used to love.

Well, we cant actually do without the potato, like it or not. The staple food of our region is such that we are dependent on the potato for almost everything…fries, boiled, in curries or gravies the potato rules. And if not for the carbohydrate part, I actually love the taste of potato so cant complain really!

Eating something too much makes it tasteless but that doesn't always remain same. I still like potatoes except the rotten ones they serve around here so happily! And I mean potatoes in all form... I am planning to develop diabetes in my 30's so better to enjoy all these things before that You are right, those things taste so good that their being worst just doesn't matter anyhow. Not that I'm encouraging some one...

Sometimes when our parents make us eat too much of one thing when we are growing up we no longer like it as adults. My husband's mom made them eat chicken and rice and chili mac all the time now he will not touch either one. I would love to cook and eat either one of those but I don't because he would not like it. When I was in High School they had fries as a side dish every day, not other choice. By the end of my Sophmore year I could not tolerate fries it took me until a couple years after college before I could eat fries again.

I have just about quit eating potatoes all together. I have diabetes and they turn to sugar in your system. Did you know that french fries, and potato chips are in the top 10 of the worst foods that you can eat.
