That huge hairy thing is yuca (casava); it is peeled and grated, boiled or fried. >Asian produce markets the same, no spuds, or hardly any. More ignorance. Szechuan Chinese often make a stir fry of undercooked potato julienne with garlic and chile. They also make fried meat-filled potato cakes. Thai Masaman curry is entirely based around potatoes. Indians have all sorts of uses for potatoes: aalu bhaaji, batata vada, dam aalu, aalu paratha, etc. |

They were great; of course, Fresh potatoes from the garden don't need much else, not so true for older, 'average' spuds though. Plain boiled or steamed spuds also make a nice counterpoint to something salty like corned beef, or pork sausages with sauerkraut. >I only ate them after >slathering them with butter. 8-) How could one *not* do that?? |

That sounds good. I rarely make my mashed potato exactly the same way twice. Sometimes I just add butter and milk, or maybe cream, or cheese, parsley or even horseradish is good too. Pepper and salt is a given, of course. A little powdered turmeric is okay as well, I used to do that a lot years ago, I should start doing that again. |

Yuck. I have heard of people eating them that way on sandwiches. Only time I tried them cold was when I was on my way out the door, in a hurry and hungry. I just grabbed a little out of the fridge. Wasn't the worst thing I ever ate but I wouldn't seek them out. |

Good for you! Balances my meds? I'm only on and only need one med so far. Seroquel, and I just upped my dose, called my MD, he confirmed my decision and changed my prescription and I'm seeing him for a followup visit next week. John Kuthe... |
