justLisa Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Probably something more creative than mashed potatoes? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeindeed Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Mashed potatoes: add some milk, butter, cream cheese, salt, & pepper. Then mash away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justLisa Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Or you could mash them and stir in parmesan and peas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belacqua Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Can you squish them, slap on some olive oil, and broil them until they're all crunchy on top? That's assuming they still have skins on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudGrandma Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 looking for something other than mashed...or a variation on that theme....we have those all of the time...time for a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justLisa Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I'm not sure what else you can do with boiled potatoes. Unless they are whole with the skin on. In that case I make a casserole by shredding them, and mix with milk/cream/cheese and bake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truscifi Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Garlic rosemary mashed. Or if they are skin on, cube, toss with olive oil and herbs, and broil until crispy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justLisa Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Or something like fried potato cakes. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/sara-moulton/mashed-potato-cakes-recipe/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktgrok Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 potato salad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Cut in very wide (1 1/2 inch) slices. Lay on a platter and smother with Italian salad dressing. Let soak in for a while. Then heat on the barbeque until they start to brown. These are amazingingly good. I used to use Viva Italian dressing to make this, and marinate for 3 hours, but really, this will work almost as well, and I don't think they sell Viva Italian any more.

Alte Veste Academy Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 potato salad? :iagree: So refreshing in the heat too! A couple of days ago, I cut up some spare cooked potatoes I had, added mayo/sour cream, a bit of chopped onion, s&p and fresh dill. I was in heaven. I almost didn't want to share. If you have dry dill, that would probably work too, or another herb you like. It was so easy and scrumptious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunnyDays Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 This is really, really bad for you. And quite delicious. :D Mix those taters with cheddar cheese, bacon pieces, and ranch dressing. Ranch potato salad. I'm going to file away some of these other ideas, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 looking for something other than mashed...or a variation on that theme....we have those all of the time...time for a change. Next time try Twice Baked Potato Casserole. It's a new family fav. 10 potatoes, peeled boiled and lightly mashed 8oz cream cheese 8 oz sour cream Whip them together, then add what you like. Favorites here are chives with cheese topping or garlic. Then bake in a 350 degree oven for 35 minutes. Yum! The baking makes the potatoes light and fluffy and the leftovers are great, too! I also half this recipe and it turns out fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 OK so to really do my recipe right: Leave the skins on. Only boil the potatoes for about 10 minutes--that way they are not dead soft, but they are mostly cooked. Slice them (thickly) while warm. Lay out in a platter or a marinade dish, and make sure that the Italian dressing is on top AND bottom. Let sit for 3 hours, turning occasionally. THEN barbeque. The nice thing about this is that you can get it ready in advance and just finish off at the last minute when you have company. The nicer thing is that these are SO SO SO good.
