I can’t NOT use it because I make oven fries so often including today for our July 4 family bbq (family as in my immediate family that lives in our house).
plus I want to make hash browns or home fries for egg cooking. How have I not yet grated potatoes for home hash browns. They’ve always been a diner or restaurant favorite. Omg so excited.
Ha! I won a free pizza when I went to redeem my free chicken coupon. Nothing since then.
They will keep for a long time in a dark cool place. How about baked potatoes sometimes? Or mashed? Or really stick your neck out and make potato gnocchi! You can stuff baked potatoes with all kinds of goodies for a complete meal....like broccoli with cheese and ground turkey. Or instead of pasta...some of your Rao's sauce with sausages & cheese. Latkes? I am doing sweet potatoes on the grill today but I precook russets and grill sometimes.
And since it is the 4th of July, shouldn't you be having the classic BBQ side dish---potato salad!!
Potatoes don't freeze well so use what you can. if they go dark or too many sprouts I would toss them out.
