I had some last week. Chopped it up coarsely and added it to a peasant
scramble. I normally use bacon for this but since I didn't put any in, I
needed a little fat. I put a little butter in the skillet, then tossed in
some diced potato. I usually use sliced but I needed it done faster. Cook
until the potatoes begin to brown then add whatever other veggies you like.
I always use onion and pepper. If you use something like tomatoes, spinach
or mushrooms, add them at the end of the veggie cook time as they cook
quickly. Then when the veggies are tender, add scrambled eggs and some
cheese. Cook through.

You can also chop it and add it to some sort of potatoes like au gratin, but
if it is hot where you are, you may not want to use your oven. If you make
pierogies, you can add a little to the filling.
