Why is eating boiled potatoes so exceedingly rare outside of North Europe and Germany? I've never seen or even heard of someone in Asia or Italy or the Americas eating boiled potatoes
>>221404685because it tastes blandfried or baked potatoes are way better
We make it into stews if that even counts as boiling
>>221404685I love boiled potatoes
>>221404685The whiter you are, the blander your palate. Only true aryan can stand boiled potatoes. It's also why brits are so insistent that the bland food stereotype about them isn't true, because they aren't white.t. Santiago, whiteness expert.
>>221404685You forgot Eastern Europe and also leprechaun island>whyShit soil and weather
>>221404922I think he's talking the potato being prepared and served solely like that so stews wouldn't count
>>221404905>>221405061>boiled potatoes are blandwhat kind of shitty potatoes are you eating?
>>221404685Eating boiled potatoes is common here in Canada. It's a northern thing, the potato is a hardy vegetable that stores well during the winter. Yeah it's a boring food, but traditionally northerners never had the luxury of developing sophisticated cuisines, our ancestors ate what they could while dealing with harsh growing conditions.
>>221404685you forgot someone
>>221404685In Bihar we eat chokha (smashed potatoes)
>>221404685Because it's the shittest way to have potatoes. New potatoes are nice, the skin gives them flavour, take that off and you have fuck all, at least with mashed potato you add butter and have a nice texture.
>>221405536Pro tip: Don't just add butter, throw in a dollop of sour cream and some minced garlic as well.
>>221405608You can add lots of stuff, adding cheese is nice.
>>221404685>he doesnt know about French style mashed potatoes And before anyone asks, yes its basically just insane amount of butter but also extremely finely mashed and filtered potatoes
>>221404685Non whites need dey spices n shieeet
>>221404905>because it tastes blandBoiled potatoes with some butter and dill is 10/10.
>>221404685Baked potatoes are the same things basicallyWe boil potatoes to mash them
>>221404685We eat baked potatoes here. I think in Bolivia and Ecuador they do the same.

>>221404685>>221406130why are you like this
I legitimately don't understand why you would eat a plain boiled potato unless that's all you has. It tastes like very little besides the skin. Why not at least mash it up and add some spices, butter, or salt. Even if you have some fairly serious dietary restrictions you can add something. Nordics and balts have the palette of children. Except for eating fermented fish of course.
>>221406202Liking good food? I don't know, weird I guess.
It's not even that bland just put a bit of salt or mash them into mashed potatoes
>>221406130I would eat the entire tray
>>221406242potatoes lose nutrients when you boil them, for one thing
>wyppl don be seasoning dey tato!!
Dunno, but I have always wanted to try the boiled potatoes covered in goat cheese that Holo was eating.
>>221405608>>221405645for me it's white pepper
>>221405225Why bother if I can just turn them into oven fries or roast potatoes? The last time I ate boiled potatoes, I was overwhelmed with sadness nóver not preparing them in one of their superior forms instead. Unless your only kitchen utensil is a pot, there is simply no reason to boil them.
>nordoids really think boiling something and sprinkling parsley on it qualifies as "cooking"
>>221404685
>>221404685I do eat boiled potatoes occasionally
>>221407134>parsleyDon't fucking compare that garbage shit with glorious dill.
Probably because boiled potatoes fucking suck. By far the worst form of potato which is inferior to pasta and rice in the first place.
>>221404922nah you have to eat them plain with NO spices or seasonings
>>221407335>erm actually
I eat them with olive oil or butter, salt, pepper and abundant parsley, they are very good

Fried potatoes feels more like party food. It'd be like having party food every day.
