Skins on the potatoes or off?

[wayne foundation 07]

Getting some prep work done for Sundays meal, do you leave the skins on your mashed potaotes? I ussually do , but the skins on these are kinda waxing like they were coated or treated with something, so off they come!

I only leave them on if they're baked. Mashed I take them off.

Like Sharry said, on for baked, off for mashed.

For homemade french fries, both, as french fries with crispy skins are also delicious.

I skin them for potato salads too.

I also tend to leave the skin on for soups, they hold up better.

on for every potato permutation.

What Hector said. Garlic roasted red potatoes/with skin= the best..

How well do you cook it, medium, or medium well? I assume from the smoker they still come out like that right?

I cook it to 128 in the smoker and then wrap it in double foil for a half an hour. That will bring the temp up to 140 Medium rare.
^That's the whole roast.

Traditional prime rib should be rare to medium rare...if you like it well done, I suggest you eat beef jerky instead, lol.

I just don't like the meat that bloody, medium well is the best I could handle. And yes I like beef jerky

Holy crap, that's super cheap!

I cook an entire prime rib once a year, here in Northern California, that stuff is super expensive, a slab will run me fifty bucks, lol.

I have pictures, but they are in my desktop, I'm not home right now, I'm using my iphone.

San Francisco has the famous House of Prime Rib restaurant, it was featured in Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations show, I have been there too, it's very expensive, but oh man, the most tender and juiciest meats ever, thank you cattle for being such good sports, lol.

The meat I buy most is tri tip, still relatively affordable, it's a California staple, the cut for grilling here, I love it, perfect for carne asada too, Mexicans call it Arrachera.

Oops, we went from potatoes to steak, lol.

I'm a vampire when it comes to steak, if I get a medium well done steak, I return it , I love it either rare or medium rare, it depends on my mood and the type of steak...I usually go rare on a prime rib and medium rare on a porterhouse for example.

One of my favorites is Pittsburgh style, that's steak charred on the outside in super high heat, but done quickly, for the inside should be rare.

I'm a rarity, because Mexicans tend to prefer well done steaks, and by well done, I mean really well done, almost to a crisp, lol.

I was just going to ask you if you ever tried a Pittsburgh style steak. We are only a little over an hour west of Pittsburgh , and all good steak places sell that style;
