Russets Anyone?

Harpa — Mon, 02 Apr 2018 11:45:47 GMT

I don't know what to do with a 5 lb. bag of russets!

All I can think of is a baked potato, but is there something else russets are good for?

Sometimes you all are better than the www! TIA!

I boil them in quarters (to cook faster). I add milk, butter, and lots of shredded cheddar cheese. Smash it up, but not like mashed potatoes. Top with green onions or bacon bits.

I'd have a baked one every day. Baked is my potato of choice. I bake them "nekked" and until the skin is crispy! LOL!!

I make them oven roasted. I cut them either in quarters lengthwise or in 4 to 6 large chunks Toss them with olive oil, salt & pepper, dried thyme, rosemary, granulated garlic (or powder) and granulated onion. Put them on a baking sheet, sprinkle with paprika and bake on 400 til tender (depends on thickness of potato).

Use them in soups like vegetable and potato soup; potato salad; slice them for scalloped potatoes; cut them in thirds, pre-cook them, slice them and make fried potatoes and browned sliced kielbasa or sausage; potato skins; baked potatoes; twice-baked potatoes. In the summer, slice them into foil packets and add butter, seasonings and a tablespoon of water, wrap tight and grill for 35 or 40 minutes. Yum! There are a lot of things to do with potatoes! I always keep a bag in the refrigerator.

Mashed Potatoes

Oven Roasted Potatoes with Onion Soup Mix

Potato Soup with onion and milk

Potato Corn Soup (with or without ham or bacon)

I'm going to make a ham and veggie soup tonight with my leftovers from Easter, and I'm going to use the second half of the second five pound bag of russets in the soup.
