hmm. what would you want with a whole boiled potato? peel the fucker normally, chop it up and be done in 5 minutes. Time is money.

I knew that trick already. It's much faster to peel and cut a cooked potato in than it is to peel then cut raw potatoes.


You've eliminated all the prep time plus the potato is far superior tasting than the peel cut and boil method.

I agree with Mon. This is re-inventing the wheel in an eight sided way.

Oh great, .....I HATE Maryanne now.

goddammit.

I always did hate that perky little hick. :lol:

If she knows so damn much about potatos, why didn't she build a potato boat and get them off that stupid island?

lumberjim 03-31-2010 10:25 AM

I just hate the way she says Idough-ho-powtaytow


....and she looks like Robert Plant now.

but you had to boil it for 15 minutes. Waste of energy and time. Unless you already murder your potatoes that way.

What energy? The water boils the potato. You want to save 10 minutes on using your range? I can understand that but as far as a waste of time the water is doing all the work I can be doing something else besides peeling and chopping.

If you don't believe it don't try to convince me, try it yourself.
I think arguing with you about how to boil a fucking potato is a bigger waste of time.

lumberjim 03-31-2010 01:08 PM

no it isn't

glatt 03-31-2010 01:13 PM

Keeping the water boiling for an additional ten minutes requires the burning of additional fuel. It is wasteful and stupid when the end result is exactly the same either way.

skysidhe 03-31-2010 01:20 PM

lol @ lj

@ glatt. I am putting you on report for using contradictions and for putting small animals in your freezer....so there ...:P

glatt 03-31-2010 01:22 PM

What contradictions? And the small animals deserved it.

White potatoes are crap anyway, just eat a bowl of sugar - no boiling or peeling required.

skysidhe 03-31-2010 01:31 PM

True. ( edit- Because of the sugar ) We eat red or gold and they boil fine and you don't even need to peel them although roasted is better.

It takes waayy more energy to roast a potato if any energy conservationist wants to debate the evils of roasted reds now.
