Twice baked.

Bake whole potatoes, scoop out insides, mash the insides with green onions, sour cream, etc.. then stuff them back into the skins. Cover them with cheese, and put them back into the oven. When they are finished, you get a melted crust of cheese over a cloud of yummy potato goodness. Mmmm....

Orlando and I eat them all the time. ;)

Lumpy, boiled with with diced onions and garlic in two bottles of Sam Adams, then drain & add warmed whole milk and margarine.


Mnnnn. I think I might have to make that for dinner now.

Finally something I can honestly answer "with Orlando Bloom!" I like them smooth, with garlic and lots of salt. If we're going all out, add a bit of sour cream too. :)

Peel, boil in salted water for 20mins, drain, mash smooth, add generous dollops of butter, cover pot with lid for a couple of minutes, whip melted butter into potatoes with wooden spoon, consume.

Orlando and I eat them all the time. ;)

Or with chopped smoky bacon fried with chives then mixed in with the potato mash and the shells restuffed. If the cheese on top is thin slices of parmesan it makes a crust.

But I prefer equal quantities of potatoes and sweet potatoes with some pumpkin. Steamed (never boiled - you throw away the goodness with the water unless you use it in bread making) then mashed.

Or the Irish Way (Colcannon):

3 pounds potatoes, scrubbed
2 sticks butter
1 1/4 cups hot whole milk (I like a combo of milk and cream)
1 head cabbage, cored chopped
1 pound cooked ham cubes or crumbled bacon
3-4 green onions, chopped
Chopped parsley (flat leaf), for garnish
Salt and fresh black pepper, to taste

Peal, cube and cook potatoes. Mash thoroughly to remove all the lumps. Add 1 stick of butter in pieces. Gradually add hot milk, stirring all the time. Season with a few grinds of black pepper.

While the potatoes are cooking, boil the cabbage in unsalted water until it's tender. Add 2 tablespoons butter. Cover with lid for 2 minutes. Drain toroughly before returning it to the pan.

Add cabbage, scallions, and ham to mashed potatoes, stirring them in gently. Serve by plopping a big ol' serving on the plate and putting a chunk of softened butter into an indentation in the top. Sprinkle with parsley.
