>>8917617
Well I don't know how to make things appealing for someone with such a terrible taste, but you don't have to eat them, do you?

>>8917632
apparently it's a god damn mortal sin to people if I don't and I want to fucking be able to see the god damn appeal of what amounts to the edible version of morning mouth so I can stop being such a fucking disappointment during holidays

If you really want to improve your taste, I think practicing would be the best way.

>>8917647
well, I do like shrimp, so I can actually see this working. Doesn't stop the judgmental glares of relatives during thanksgiving but could maybe be used to train my taste to actually enjoy chunky dirt paper
>>8917655
how the fuck do you practice eating a potato

>>8917674
You eat it.

>>8917677
that's not practice that's actually performing unless potato eating is similar linguistically to the practice of medicine

The nature of potatoes mean you'll probably always have that mouthfeel you don't like unless you eradicate any fluffy softness.
>Eat crispy potato skins filled with cheese etc, which remove most of the filing
>Try shredded potato foods, such as potato rosti and hash browns
>Go for well done chips, but at your own risk of injury

I agree. I grew up eating shitty boiled potatoes every day. Fuck potatoes.

>>8917599
Boil for 10
Fry or oven for 10

It's all about the sauce.

>>8917828
not really a fan of chips, but potato skins are marginally better, as are hash browns
>>8917856
plain baked potatoes were the weapon of choice in the early years, followed by equally plain and chunky mashed disasters, and a mild distaste grew to fuming hatred after the unending slog of starch never ceased
>>8917860
what kind of sauce?

soaking cut potatoes for 30 minutes or more prior to cooking removes a lot of the starch

>>8917998
>removes a lot of the starch
yes

Why the fuck is this lady under a bale of god damn potatoes?
What is the context? What am I supposed to be feeling from this?

>>8918930
the lady is drowning in inedible starch products and from her face she has obviously succumbed to the illness pervasive among this species of tuber

or it's just a click-bait picture to advertise some woman's potato farm

>>8917599

I understand your anger OP, some of us are served certain foods in the most atrocious ways as we grow up, so we only have disdain for them. As an act of rebellion I taught myself to cook and create amazing things out of shit I used to hate.

Remember potatoes are amazingly versatile and also very cheap. I would suggest you to get to know your enemy. Learn about what types of potatoes are available near you, find which ones are better for frying, mashing, etc. Learn some simple spice combos too. Then learn what you can dress them in if that's what you want.

Chef John is always a good starting point:

Explore his recipes.

Personally I love pan frying cubed russett potatoes in Beef Tallow until my potatoes are perfectly crispy, adding cayenne, salt, cracked black pepper, onion powder, and white pepper, with a side of chipotle mayo. I also throw in some diced up peperroni, chopped caramelized onion, cheese, and egg for breakfast.

Or you can just become a picky babby and be an embarrassment to everyone you meet for the rest of your life.

>>8917599
what in gods name do you do to them to make them get a consistency of chunky glue?

It's a picture of girl with an eating disorder that makes her averse to foods other than potatoes, cheese, and coleslaw. At least she can get some cabbage and carrots in from that.

>>8917599
But theres different types of potatoes?

Do you only have shit ones where you live?

Also tomatoes are the real pile of shit food that has infiltrated main stream culture

>>8917599
Fry them crispy i suppose.

My wife loves boiled potatos and it's the most disgustingly boring thing ever.

>>8918930
It's an Irish thing, you wouldn't understand.

>>8917617
so try seasoning them ya dingus

French fried is the only way to serve potatoes. All other iterations are atrocities. Yes, even if you add three sticks of butter and mash them.

>>8917791
STICK 'EM IN A STEW

>>8917599
More salt and fat probably. Sounds like you've been given too many undercooked, under seasoned potatoes. You get mashed potatoes from a restaurant for example, they'll be practically one fifth butter.

Some people like plain boiled potatoes, but there's always going to be a wrong un.
