    mashed potatos or fries ?

    I'm leaning toward the fries, but if I don't eat them all in the next 5 minutes they'll be unpalatable (even with ketchup)

    Think i'll go with the mashies

    You don't know the skillet method of reheating fries & onion rings? Mmmm.

    I usually only like mashed potatoes with gravy and corresponding meat.

      I like them both, but it depends on what I'm having them with. Mikey, what happened to your avatar?

        As I am older I can't eat as much as them now in a sitting but mashed potatoes is one of my favorite foods.I love them with chicken gravy.

          A hamburger and mashed potatoes? Nah…

          Meatloaf and French fries? Nah…

          It’s like putting a movie together… I want a co-star that will compliment the headliner.

            How about deep fried mashed potatoes? Or maybe mashed french fries?

              They both have their good points.

              Either one goes good with broasted chicken, as do potato wedges.

                It depends how they are made, and if they are real mashed potatoes.

                If baked potato is a choice, that might be number one.

                For this line up,

                Real Potatoes-

                I guess it is mashed potatoes with onion gravy, or with saur kraut.

                Old diner or truck stop mashed potatoes with brown gravy used to be so awesome.

                Followed by the other choice of chili cheese steak fries with sour cream.

                Have you ever watched Ian McKellen, Gandalf, make scrambled eggs on youtube?, they are really good that way, and I wonder what he would do for making a good potato item.

                  When I first made the post I had in mind of a sit-down casual dining experience --- Red Lobster, Outback or even maybe your favorite local Ma & Pa steakhouse.

                    Hold, what arcane magic is this of which you speak? Wouldst thou elaborate, good sir?

                      Non-stick skillet on medium, no oil, no cover. Dump in leftover fries/rings and turn until hot and re-crisped. Delicious.

                        Thanks! Having to learn / relearn all these skills late in life. Hard to cook for just one, so anything that makes leftovers better is good to know!

                            You're welcome. A bit more effort than microwaving them, but so much better!!!

                              Best potato pancakes --- EVER

                              Buy a bag of cheap potatoes

                              ---also 1 yellow onion and a pack of whatever-brand flour

                              Peal potatoes and scrape them through your moms old cheapo box cheese box-grater (on medium)

                              When done, take your grubby hands and rinse out ever bit of potato juice you can find …

                              (potato shreads MUST be free of all water they contain)

                              Peal and give yellow onion the box-shredder treatment ---on fine

                              Add a little salt and flour...….

                              and---enjoy
