I love to eat potatoes and had a baked potato for lunch. What kind of potatoes do you eat for lunch? Do you eat them with something on them? I had this one with applesauce, as don't enjoy them plain. Any suggestions for how to serve would be great.

Potatoes are my favorite food of all time. I could eat them every day (and usually do). Baked, I clean real good, rub down with olive oil and sprinkle sea salt on the outside, give them a few pokes with a fork and pop in the oven at 400 until done (depends on the size) but generally 45 minutes to one hour is good.
I love scalloped potatoes with salty meats such as ham. Emeril has a terrific recipe that includes not only russets, but sweet potatoes.
McDonalds, french fries are good :)
I go to this restaurant called Brio's and they have these oven roasted new potatoes with olive oil, rosemary, salt and pepper in a real good parm/cream sauce..........geez, they are good. I am hungry too. I am going to make my dinner of a baked potato now :)

Several people have told me olive oil is a good oil choice, so I purchased a bottle. I will try it with my baked potato today. Thanks for the reply.

It depends on the mood i'm in. When I eat a baked potato I put alot of butter on it with no sour cream. Don't like the stuff. Sometimes I like to put cheese and bacon bits on them. Sometimes I like to just fry them as french fries. Every now and then I'll make scaloped potatoes but not as often. Then of course theres the best way and thats mashed potatoes. Add some milk, butter, and some pepper, and its perfect. Never heard of putting applesauce on it. Is it good that way? I also like to cut the potatoes in cubes, boil them till they're on the brink of softness. Spray butter all over them and then sprinkle garlic salt on them, and bake them for a little bit. mmmmmmm delicious. there really is so much you can do with potatoes.

I love mashed potatoes specially with some garlic. Applesauce is healthy and that is why I started using it as a topping instead of butter. Its a lot less calories and I feel full after lunch. Thanks for the reply.

Baked potatoes are great! I eat mine with salt,pepper,butter and sour cream.
You can put chilli on them, sr. cream and chives, if you like vegetables, you can put them on the potatoes. I eat them with dinner, or by themselves.
I never heard of applesause with potatoes, may have to try that. lol
