It's difficult to reason a potato, they are notoriously very stubborn.

ROAST THOSE FUCKERS
throw in all the spices you like
choose a vegetal oil
way better and heathier than fried ones

In mashed potatoes, yes?
I feel like crunchy dehydrated onions on a baked potato would not be very nice.

What makes them healthier?

better on like cubed potatoes or chips. certainly NOT in mashed.. best way ive prepared is in tin foil on a grill. or you can fry them up in oil on stove top.

A recipe I used was from a college textbook that was meant for those who literally cannot cook.
1) Boil for then minutes
2) Put on a baking pan/skillet
3) Put a light amount of canola oil (or whatever you prefer as baking oil)
4) Bake for 35-45 minutes (until potatoes are soft
5) salt / black pepper to taste
The first time I did that, everyone swore I made the best potatoes ever. It is not fancy, but it works and can be made en mass.

I do that as well, except I add the salt and pepper before roasting, among other spices, like paprika, oregano, rosemary...

Well, I have Russets right now, but would go out and buy some goldens or whatever if someone had a "recipe" that looks good. I'm not picky. I've just been in a potato mood lately.

Like I said, I cannot cook, but the instructions implied I could not and addressed me accordingly. Yes it did now that I think about it. The cookbooks phrased it as "Allow it to cool and drain so you can handle it easily while you prime the pan" for a few minutes before I cut into it. That was a key step that was simple but brilliant: It both made it easier to cook with and easier to slice. Thank you for giving me a more proper term for it.
microwave a potato for 4 minutes
fry on max heat until outside is crispy
dunk potato in sauce while eating
you can do this for almost any food. fuck throwing it in the oven for an hour, microwave and frying pan it for a tenth of the time.

SEAfag here. Potatoes here are small-ish and are kind of a luxury food so we only have potato-only dishes once a week.
We grill almost every weekend so
>slice potato into 1/8.
>minced garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary.
>Wrap it up in foil so that it's like a whole potato again but with spices inside.
>Grill until soft.
I do like 3-4 of these.
But if we don't feel like grilling, we just make mashed potatoes.
