In some countries, they use/eat bananas the same way we eat potatoes. Sometimes it's plantains, but sometimes it's just a green starchy banana.

I still like potatoes though.

slackfrop t1_j2edr7g wrote

The supermarkets in Peru sometimes have maybe a hundred varieties. They range in starch/sugar and texture from something like a banana to something like a turnip.

And the locals are expert at picking exactly the right potato for the purpose.

SnorkinOrkin t1_j2fwl17 wrote

I do, too!

I'd cut em up in halves, boil halfway, pat dry, drizzle olive oil, kosher salt, pepper, paprika, chopped rosemary and thyme, bake it for an hour, flip them around a little, bake some more for another half hour...

Mix some sour cream, parsley, red onion, and lemon for a dipping sauce.

Ohhh, BABY!!!

My boss gave me some red potatoes from his allotment that looked like beetroot when cut in half. They made very pink mashed potatoes.

My favourite odd coloured veggie is purple cauliflower. Add some cheese sauce and it looks so cool lol

I really want to try pink potatoes though

First year allotment garden mistake, planting zucchini. Put in 2 plants and found out I didn't have as many friends as I had thought. It should be classified as an invasive weed species.

Potatoes on the other hand are fun to grow and eat! A 5 gallon container will grow a lot of spuds, if you have the room you can grow mini potatoes all season long.

Are any of them cheese flavor? I saw a show they mentioned one tasted like cheese but never gave a strain name.

Spicy potato recipe, best when used with small golden or yellow potatoes that turn buttery when roasted: -Chili garlic sauce (like Momofuku, FlybyJings, or Lao Gan Ma) -garlic powder -sesame oil -Braggs aminos (or soy sauce) -white pepper -black pepper

Cube tiny taters. Use generous amounts of seasonings and sauces until all taters are covered. Drop in a baking dish or whatever you want. Roast at 425F for 40, flip them at 20. Outside needs to crisp and puff. When you eat them it should be a nice shell with a buttery inside.

Looks like there's ONE, and it doesn't have much to do with cooking them. There's dancing potato animations though.

Right.... This is why I have trouble shopping, people!

I was told to get potatoes, no one told me that the market has 21 varieties! How am I supposed to know which one I need?

farticustheelder t1_j2frodk wrote

Tell the seller what you want to use the potatoes for. He/she will steer you to an appropriate variety.

It is like talking to the butcher. You may have a copy of Julia Child's cookbook but the meat today is different than in her day. the cooking times NEED TO BE adjusted.

Ag/Hort/Whatever studiest here, watch the film "The Botany of Desire". It talks about plants and how they project onto humans, potatoes are featured on there and talks/interviews people in a village that grows all the varieties of potatoes, which is over 5,000 different varieties!!!

Believe it or not, none of these are sweet potatoes. They had a separate section with multiple rows of sweet potatoes.

I think these are what look like sweet potatoes. They’re Papa Chaco potatoes.

Potatoes vary in texture/starch content that make them taste and cook differently
