The Potato Thread: Potatoes in the News

^^ Well, there's a thing that if I heard a person say, absent context, I would assume they'd just had a stroke.

I think the line is pretty good in eastern Europe but its kind of assy in western Europe, yeah.
in all seriousness: anyone have a suggestion for a potato-centric dinner?  i'm cooking tonight and have been asked to use our freshly dug-up potatoes from the garden.  i was about to search for recipe ideas when i thought "what the hell, let's see if anyone on the board has an idea… ya never know…". 

GO.

(vegetarian options welcome)

i feel targeted. 
wonder if this thread came up
<a href="https://www.wellandgood.com/when-do-potatoes-go-bad/">Your Potatoes Are Probably Expired—Here’s How To Store Them so They Last for Months</a>

According to food safety expert Jeff Nelken, potatoes can go bad after just one or two weeks if not stored properly. "The way to know if your potatoes have gone bad is if they start sprouting nodes and they feel mushy underneath the nodes when you cut them off," Nelken says, adding that this is a sign of decay. (If you slice off the nodes and the potato is still firm, Nelken says it's okay to still eat it.) If your potatoes are soft and mushy (and haven't been cooked), it's best to toss 'em in the compost bin.

umm…the jeff thread is over there
