How Often Do You Eat Potatoes?

Luft Ballon

Since moving home, I just realised I eat them every day with dinner. Even living on my own I used to eat them with nearly every meal, which has left me wondering if eating them so much is really that healthy.

I only eat pertaters

Yummy

Euw, I don't.

Now sweet potatoes I could eat every day. But don't either. But I should eat them more often. Yum

The Backwards Man

I eat them for breakfast, dinner and tea. In fact, if there was a fourth mealtime every day, I'd eat them for that too.

yawhat!

I store some in my anus to eat on the way to work.

Every day. Sure what else would you eat with bacon & cabbage?

TPD

Unless I'm at the folk's house for dinner the odd weekend or getting chips from a takeaway, I never eat potatoes. Pasta and rice are just as nice.

Every hour, on the hour.

Why would you even post this?

They're far more healthy than pasta/rice. I'd have them with dinner most days.

Every day if I can manage it.

God of foods

i never understand the potato hate.
Roasted, boiled and mashed or in jacket, fried as chips or fritter, saute, bbq in foil.

Not many other foods are as versatile or taste as good in different forms of preparation. I always feel that people that look down on the humble spud are uppity and want to be seen as metropolitan even though some of the best necks that I have had globally had potato as a core ingredient.

Like the wee fingerlings every once in while, bit of olive oil, ground black pepper, a bit of garlic and into the oven they go. Lovely.

HugsiePie

Do chips count?

norrie rugger

of course they do, unless you make yours from something other than potato.

Precious flower

We have them most days Nothing like 'em!:) Love Italian food too though in our house so that's the only time potatoes don't appear!

sdanseo

Most days in some form or other alright.

Mmm, lovely starch.

take the skin off spuds and the are pretty much empty calories, just like pasta or rice, tbh.

sandmanporto

Only in stew

Seaneh

Had some today.
I cooked a stew the other day.
I'd normally just have it in a deep bowl by itself but sometimes I think there are very few things better than a little mashed spuds with a good stew so I had a smallish dollop of mash with my stew today as well as some buttered cabbage.
I make what would normally be considered an adult portion of mash and had half today with some cabbage and my stew and will have the other half of the mash tomorrow with the rest of the stew and some steamed broccoli.

I'll eat them in many forms except plain boiled. At home they would be there at least 6 days so got put off them.

Agree wholeheartedly with this. Sweet potatoes are great

I used to eat them daily, kind of got out of them in the past year or so! Not by choice, just kind of happened!

I take raw ones into work and eat them like an apple - Delish!

Since I moved out of home not at all often... If chips don't count last time I had them was about a month ago...

creolebelle

Hardly or never. I avoid carbs like the plague

Potatoes & ice cream, yum!

No. They're complex carbohydrates full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. To get anywhere near healthy for pasta/rice, it needs to be brown which tastes like shyte.

In Rachel Allen voice "yum".

orchidsrpretty

I'd eat them with almost every meal. My favourite is mashed with either carrots or cheese. We go through a 7.5kg bag every 10 days or so.

What do you replace them with?

_Redzer_

not a big fan of potatoes, they're so much effort for something that's usually so bland
