RedM Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I used to have a favourite potato. I called her Kate and we went everywhere together. We had some advetures, I can tell you. Then one day she went a bit green and these growths appeared all over her. She didn't recover. I was devastated. I buried her in the garden. I've never looked at another potato since then.

MrRalphMan Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 A nice roast potato. Crispy on the outside and soft, to be almost mush on the inside.. Hmmmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Digging up an old one for some help here. I've noticed the new "Potato Footballs" that are out from McCain. Can anyone remember what these were called years ago? I'm guessing in the 80's or 90's. Just balls of mash potato with a crispy coating. I keep thinking tots, or pops or something like that... obviously not tater tots though. Anyone remember them? I don't think they were made by McCain, I think they were a lesser brand. Pommes Noisettes I have found them being called. I'm thinking the ones I had were simpler, like "Potato Balls" lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tannhauser Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Charlotte, In case you've never encountered Adrian Mitchell's potato-related poem: STRONG MAN: Mashed potatoes cannot hurt you, Mashed potatoes mean no harm I have brought you mashed potatoes From my mashed potato farm LADY: Take away your mashed potatoes Leave them in the desert to dry Take away your mashed potatoes - You look like shepherd's pie BRASH MAN: A packet of chips, a packet of chips, Wrapped in the Daily Mail Golden juicy and fried for a week In the blubber of the Great White Whale LADY: Take away your fried potatoes Use them to clean your ears You can eat your fried potatoes With birds-eye frozen tears OLD MAN: I have borne this baked potato O'er the Generation Gap Pray accept this baked potato Let me lay it in your heated lap. LADY: Take away your baked potato In your fusty musty van Take away your baked potato You potato-skinned old man FRENCHMAN: She rejected all potaoes For a thousand nights and days Till a Frenchman wooed and won her With pommes de terre Lyonnaise. LADY: Oh my corrugated lover So creamy and so brown Let us fly across to Lyons And lay our tubers down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sad to say I haven't but thanks for pointing them out! The above is my personal favourite because I'd like to own a mashed potato farm myself.

SupraFluff Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 My Favourite - Slice 'em up so they're about 1.5cm thick, parboil, then lay them out in a baking tray in a mixture of olive oil / chilli oil, add ground chilli flakes and fresh chilli, some mixed herbs and garlic, cook for about 45 mins in the oven = YUMMY!!!
