Yes, TATER. 

Taters (potatoes) are - to me - Comfort Food. Especially mashed. I sometimes make stew withOUT potatoes in it and we ladle over mashed potatoes. Nom nom nom...

I love my DH, but there are times I want to pinch him. We went grocery shopping and the man snuck a 50lb box of potatoes onto the bottom of the cart. I didn't see it until after he paid. 

One can only eat so many baked, boiled, hashed, and mashed potatoes before you feel tater'd out.

Folks, I need some tater recipes!!! Anyone know if Spuds McKenzie has anything?

Nope! You could cut them into chunks.  Just depends how you want them. Plus then they are pre-cooked. I take mine out of the jar, put them on a sheet pan with butter and seasoning and put them in the oven for 15 mins to get them warm and crispy

Gratin Dauphinois

Peel and slice your potatoes (1/4 inch thick or less). Put thel in a bowl and sprinkle salt, pepper and a pinch of cinnamon over them. Mix well. Cut a garlic clove in half and rub all it over a lasagne (or other) dish. Butter the dish and layer the potatoes into it. Pour cream over them until nearly covered. Dot with butter. Bake at 180°C for about an hour.

Brandade de Thon

Boil your potatoes and mash with olive oil and a couple (or just one the first time to be sure it's not too strong) of  minced garlic cloves. Drain a can of tuna in brine and mash it into the potatoes. Put it into a buttered dish and decorate with a few black olives. Heat it through and serve.

Cook them with your bacon and egg in the morning.

in honor of my German grandmother I highly recommend potatoe pancakes (latkes).  Served with a nice beef roast and rich smooth gravy ummmmm.

another childhood favorite from the Eastern European immigrants to Northeastern Ohio--Pierogi, my favs were filled with sauerkraut. 
And gnocchi--my kids loved to help make them.

LMAO!!!

Make the regular Tater Eggs, but add chopped bacon and grated extra-sharp cheddar. *yahoo*

It's RICH, so I drink unsweetened grapefruit juice.

Seasoned Citizen (Chef's oldest half bro) gave me a 50 lb bag of potatoes for fixing his laptop.  At the time,  I brought the bag into work and let co workers help themselves.

Gratin!!  Poutine!!!!

And yes, I have no issues lifting a 50 lb bag of potatoes at stb 60.

DPW, that straw business is all on DH. I told him the same thing goes if he puts in a garden. I'm the one who will have to cook, so he'll have to play farmer. (I loathe veggie gardening!).

I loathe it too. I felt bad that I wasn't helping so I offered to handle the herb garden this year. That's all the gardening I've got in me.
