Does a boiled potato

Plain bake potato with butter only please. Don’t ruin it with cheese or bacon bits. I guess if the bacon bits were real pieces of bacon that would be ok.

 

A fried not.

 

Haven’t seen a boiled potato since Grandma’s kitchen. Anything resembling that would come out of a crock pot or a microwave. Even baked is rarely actually baked anymore. Those get nuked too. No more crispy skins, which were pretty darn good…

 

That's basically all that's required for most fresh veggies, IMO.

 

With enough butter, sour cream, chives, cheese, and bacon bits, boiled cardboard might pass for a potato. Who are you trying to fool?

 

...which basically amounts to 'steamed'. If all the potatoes, including sweet potatoes, are generally the same size I'll cook them in the Instant Pot, if varying sizes they go in the microwave with a tad of water, covered, and probed with a skewer during the cooking process to remove those that are tender throughout.

 

...and a steak! And a Guinness

 

Baked only is eaten by mostly dispensationalists

boiled only by mid and post tribes

amils eat both

I read it on the internet or made it up one

funny thing about the internet, you’re never really sure what to believe

 

A baked potato with salt on the skin and I can eat the skin. A boiled potato doesn’t have skin.

 

I knew you would like it Mr Vaughn

 

So which is better... A baked potato in the oven, on the grill or wrapped up in foil and laid under hot coals in a campfire?... Come on you woodsy brethren, what is it?

Btw... Who wants a naked potato?... Brother Glen

 

I've only had in the oven. I need to try the other two for comparision. I did have a naked baked potato once. Decided to do butter from then on. Hopefully not to much butter though.

 

My wife before she boils a potato, skins it... The reason she skins it, she is making mashed potatoes and that is the only reason I can see it is necessary to boil a potato... So to you rustic brethren on here and I do know a few... Do you leave the skin on when you mash potatoes or not?... Just curious... Brother Glen

 

Hey Brother, give me some skin.

 

Campfire cooked always seems better, IF you can time it right.

Years ago when my Romanian SIL came to live with us, he just had to show us, so he cooked a whole chicken over an open wood fire constantly moving and flipping and turning it until done. It was very good....But I also like frozen chicken breast portions from Walmart cooked on my George Foreman grill, salt, pepper, olive oil.. Quick, and tasty.

 

I scrub the potatoes (and a lot of other things) with a brush under the faucet before cooking and leave the skin on. We LOVE the skins, boiled, baked, steamed, or fried.

 

I eat whatever is set before me. Usually mash potatoes without skin. But I love them anyway I can get them.
