Better Ideas For Cooking Potatoes

Cooking potatoes are a popular option with many families around the world. Potatoes are versatile as they can be oven baked, fried, steamed and boiled. In my family, we always like to add a side dish of baked potatoes, next to the cooked meat. Eating roasted potato with roast meat is another popular option.

Potato wedges have become popular with fast food outlets. You can buy frozen wedges, or frozen chips and cook them rather quickly. I prefer peeling potatoes and creating my own wedges, as the potatoes taste much better when they have been freshly peeled.

If you have the time to sit down and peel potatoes, then this may be a better option. If you are restricted for time and the family need some food on the table, then take out the frozen wedges. These are the times when you have to make compromises.

When buying potatoes, I always buy the washed potatoes as I do not want muddy fingers when I am peeling potatoes.

There are many ways to cook potatoes. You can make them part of the main meal, adding other vegetables and herbs in a slow cooker. You can make a potato salad with herbs and mayonnaise. If you are on a diet, then you can avoid the calories, by replacing the mayonnaise with olive oil. Another option for a side dish, is French fries.

My favourite potato dish, is the baked potato. I like to add baked potato as a side dish, when cooking anything with meat, including roast lamb, roast turkey or roast chicken. Adding herbs to the potatoes, especially oregano, make them so much more delicious.

These are some of the many ideas you can use when cooking potatoes.
