A few years ago, when I was trying to eat healthier, I found simple recipe for baked (microwaved) potato with fresh steamed broccoli and a bit of grated cheddar cheese on top. Oh, my goodness, eating healthy has never tasted so good!

Any way from chips to baked, from fries to mashed, from boiled to broiled…

But by far my personal favorite is Jacques Pepin style formulated by Rachael Ray…

Place the potatoes in a deep skillet and add salt and pepper, to taste. Cover potatoes halfway with chicken stock, about 3 cups, add the butter and cover skillet with a lid. Cook the potatoes in the stock until almost tender, about 5 to 8 minutes, depending upon the size of the potatoes. Remove the lid and allow the stock to evaporate, about another 5 minutes. Once the stock has evaporated pop each potato using a ladle or large spoon, creating a small crack in each, but do not smash. Allow the potatoes to brown on each side, another 5 minutes, and re-season with salt and pepper, if necessary or desired. Remove the browned potatoes from the skillet and place onto a serving platter, garnished with the parsley.

There is no form of potato she doesn't love.
When we went out for our anniversary & she was raving about the garlic mashed potatoes.
Expensive seafood platter & she commented more about the potatoes than on the crab & lobster.
I like steak fries or a potato puree with saffron.

I like baked, mashed, and chips, too.

Steamed are kind of boring, but helped by (what isn't 😄 ) butter. I only mention them bc we were served them tonight. I asked for butter!

Emile rmnded ne of hash browns, and Pika of potato salad. How could I forget potato salad!

Skordalia is Greek dip/meze that can be made with puréed potatoes, garlic paste (garlic, olive oil + vinegar, or lemon). YUM!
It's also otherwise made w soaked stale bread, but I've never had that version.

I prefer them as baked or spuds. On a baked potato, I like to put butter ketchup on it. Only ketchup on spuds. I know people think it's crazy that I put ketchup on a baked potato but as I explain to them it's basically the same as the inside of a french fry.
