the irish, the first potatomaxxers
>>21081049>and how an Irishman is able to manage it is beyond my ability to explain
>>210810526kg of potatoes
Potato fritters are my favourite food right now.>Slice potato >Dip in batter>Deep fryImagine of the batter was made from potato flour. Corr
>>21081045You also didn't include they're extremely filling. I used to eat like 2 cups worth of mashed potatoes in the morning and be full the entire day. They're the perfect binge eating food because they're so filling you'll feel stuffed before you eat too much. I'm like 145 pounds (not saying this is a good thing, I look skelly at my height) now because I just started eating mashed potatoes everyday for awhile and it'd keep me satiated all day on only like 500 calories.
>>21081045>>protein is even more absorbable than meat and eggsFalse>>the irish manWho accomplished what, exactly?
>>21081045I love potatoes too. Last time I bought 20 lbs of russets and cut them into big fries, blanched them, then fried them about 2/3 of the way, then froze the whole batch in 3 ziplock gallon bags. A handful in the air fryer at 400 for a few minutes and they're super perfect, fresh cooked tasting. The 'air fryer' i use is actually one of those microwave combination units they make these days, so when I need a microwave I have it but the air fryer function has proven to actually be somewhat useful>other ways to make potatoesMashed potatoes are always super easy and very tasty. I like to add a lot of butter and sourcream to the potatoes when mashing/blending it up, makes a great consistency and naturally all that extra fat and cream and salt can never hurtThere is a question though that i didn't follow up on the last time it came up in threads that i remember. how do you make potatoes last a long time in storage these days? it seems like store bought potatoes don't preserve even in a dark pantry
Yes, potatoes check all the boxes. They're legitimately only one of 3 super foods pre GMO eraThe problem? they're also extremely susceptible to disease and entire crop fields can go south. If you eat an infected potato, there's a better than 50/50 chance you'll die. And there's no tell to if one is infected usually
>>21081175Accomplished yer ma
>>21081045Also the choice of food of the nordic Übermensch.
>>21081062Holy based
>>21081045
>>21081045I used to be given a potato a week to draw eyes on out of the wheelbarrow load my brother brought us back from the fields. I'd name him on Monday and then Friday night my father made me hit it with a hammer and boil the remains in salt water. 25 years later I see cry when I see root vegetables.
>posting the inferior soulless bland russet potato genetically engineered in a lab to grow in sandy idaho deserts instead of the superior delightful colorful native tropical sweet potato
I have such a peasant taste - love potatoes, love onions, love cabbage
>>21081703not the amount of proteinhe is talking about how absorbable the protein is. beans have a lot of protein but it's not as absorbable as meat. you only get 60%-80% of it.
>>21082050So what? 1 to 2% isn't shitNo matter how much of it you absorb
>>21081194> If you eat an infected potato, there's a better than 50/50 chance you'll dieProof?
>>21081845Idaho potatoes are deliciousSweet potatoes are kind of nasty and i cant eat more than a tiny serving before i’m sick of eating period
>>21081856simple astasty
>>21082303I've gotta look this up and verify it, but I seem to remember something about not cooking any greenish areas on a potato and throwing them out - I can't even remember why. Might be something my mom or grandmom told me.
I am potatomaxxing. 90% of my carb intake is potato.
>>21083029So you're giving anecdotal evidence for your new because your grandma told you so? We've reached peak levels of newfag facebooketry.
>>21081045Vegetable protein isn't a full protein unlike animal proteins. Why don't you even know that? You aren't giving your body good proteins by eating potatoes you dummy.
>>21083029The green parts can contain large amounts of solanin. Shouldn't be eaten. Solanin is also in the skin in general but even stupid eco fags eat potatoes with the skin on.
>>21081845>This variety is a mutation (or sport) of the cultivar 'Burbank's Seedling' that was selected by the plant breeder Luther Burbank in 1873. The known lineage of Russet Burbank began in 1853 when Chauncey E. Goodrich imported the Rough Purple Chili from South America in an attempt to add diversity to American potato stocks which were susceptible to late blight.
>>21081194If you mean blighted potato, they have the texture of a fucking cork>>21083029Potatoes just turn green when exposed to light. Peel off the green and throw it out the rest is fine. What you're describing is not an "infection".
>>21081045cassava is superior in every single way
>>21081045>contains almost every single micronutrientThis isn't even remotely true
>>21085826Wrong
>>21085826Look >>21081062 they're pretty fucking close to perfect
>>21081045I like beans. Beans are just little potatoes.
>>21081045I actually bought a 5lb bag for $3 a couple weeks ago. Had a few meals where I just baked 2 of them, cut them open, and tossed some cheese on em. However, something wasnt quite right.I decided to instead try to make potato skins by baking them, scooping out the interior so that it was an roughly evenly shaped little boat, then tossed the cheese and bacon bits and chopped green onion in. I used some of the interior I scooped out for breakfast later.I didnt have sour cream but thats okay. Something still not quite right.My next attempt I might try boiling them in salted water and chilling them before I attempt to make potato skins.
>>21081045>6kg a dayAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHSSHSHSHAHAHA WHO BELIEVES THIS SHIT?
>>21081152I heard they contain substance that suppresses hunger.
>>21081845Why do women love sweet potatoes?
>>21088106It's sweet, it's supposedly healthier, it's nonstandard, which also makes it hip and status symbol worthy among it women.
>>21081045>>easy to prepareIt's not though. It takes too much effort to cook which is why I don't have potatoes very often. They do taste really good though. Wish they were easier to make.
>>21086969beans+potatoes+meat+onion+carrot=great stew
>>21081045Taters are good
>>21081045I bought so,e pre-made loaded mashed potatoes, that should be good enough.
They also fit inside your asshole perfectly.
>>21082303Most people who have ever eaten a potato are now dead. Millions of Irish alone who subsisted on potatoes: dead.
>>21087565>I heard they contain substance that suppresses hunger.Yes, this is true. The substance is known as "food"
>>21090319>>21081845South American potatoes:>>21088106Potato and Sweet Potato are in completely different families with different nutrients. You can eat Sweet Potato slips, you can eat it raw, the entire potato plant is poisonous except for the potato -- and that turns poisonous when it' becomes green due to sunlight or incorrect storage. Sweet Potato is a lot easier to store and cook, but you can't eat too much of it as it's very high in Vitamin A. Sweet Potato slips can be grown by putting sweet potato in water, pan fried it is a popular dish in Taiwan.
>>21081152if you want to eat 500 calories a day it should be 90% protein and 10% fat not potatoes
>>21081121slice them with a crossed pattern so it has more surface to hold the batter
>>21085822cassava fries are godly
>>21086969beans are full of antinutrients and shitty fiber>>21089306t. literal retard
>>21088106first time Ive heard of this. here sweet potato is associated with gym rat men who survive on nothing but sweet potatoes and chicken breast
>>21092218Peru had such different looking potatoes, but I wonder what they taste like
>>21094343Had? What happened to them?
>>21094350Migrating harfoots ate all the taters before they started eating each other.
