Cooking Potatoes ~ 5 Easy Ways With Spuds

I love potatoes! I especially like them cooked in unhealthy ways. Anyway today I have 5 tasty ways with potatoes. I was thinking the other day what a cheap and filling food the potatoes really is. Although a lot of our meals have potatoes in them, I really think we could eat them more often. If I was on a really tight budget, I would investigate this vegetable a lot more. They make wonderful soups are a great filler in stews and can also be eaten stuffed with cheese and onions and other yummy stuff. Ok, here are 5 easy ways to cook your spuds.

1: Easy Potato Bake:

Layer thinly sliced potatoes into a casserole dish, Mix 1/2 a packet french onion soup powder with a tub of pure cream and then pour that over the potatoes. Cook in the over on 300F for 30minutes. How easy was that? Its delicious, decadent and yummy.

2: Yummy Roast Potatoes:

Boil your potatoes first. Pour some olive oil into a roasting pan, add your potatoes and cook them on high till they are golden brown and crispy.

3: Healthy and Tasty Baked Potatoes

Wash the potatoes very well. Prick them with a fork a few times. Pop them on the rack of a very hot over 400F for one hour or until they are cooked. The skins will be very crisp and the potatoe will be soft and mushy inside. Serve with sour cream.

4: Wonderful Summer Minted Potatoes

Peel and dice the potatoes into 5 cm dice. Boil them in lot of water  with fresh sprigs of mint. If you dont have fresh, sprinkle in some dried mint. Serve hot with dollops of butter.

5: Next Day Potatoes

If you have any potatoes left over from the above meal, the next day take them out of the fridge and fry them in butter and olive oil till they are crisp and golden.

Here are a couple of other potatoes ideas for you.
