I'm too lazy to upload to facebook, so I figured I'd just post it here..
The giant potato of O'Leary, PEI. Unfortunately, we didn't go inside the potato museum, because we didn't want to pay $6 each to get in.
I actually think this potato would taste good if it were sliced, then fried in a bit of butter, but I don't think I've got a frying pan big enough
-
Or baked in the oven then put Butter, chives, cheese, bacon bits and of course, Sour Cream! Um, um, um
lmunch
-
Maybe if you cut it into small enough pieces, you could fit it into your frying pan???
-
I'll have it mashed, please.
;D
-
Soaking that sucker overnight would be a JOB!! :rofl; :rofl;
Aleta

I vote for twice-baked, with lots of cheese and bacon on top!
-

yeah.. it would last a long while for sure. Would need to borrow a chain saw
Soaking that sucker overnight would be a JOB!! :rofl; :rofl;
oh yeah.. Could probably boil it in a hot tub, though..
-
That's one hell of a lot of potassium!
-
deep fried ! :yahoo;
-

well, I think it could make more than one meal. *LOL*
deep fried ! :yahoo;
Would definitely make a lot of home fries..
-
where is this????????????????????
-
In my past I could devour that giant spud. When I was much younger sometimes for dinner I would bake four huge potatoes and they would fill a huge serving plate. I would drench them in sour cream and butter. Like clock work each time I did that I would be up for most of the night as my body was taking all those potatoes and converting them to sugar. Luckily I learned later on not a good idea to devour several potatoes.

O'Leary, Prince Edward Island, Canada. It's on the lawn of the PEI Potato Museum.
-
OM NOM NOM NOM!!!!
-
it's genetic modification at it's finest.. a potato that can feed a family of 4 for several weeks. :lol;
-
I could soak that spud overnight in my swimming pool, but I don't think my oven would hold it for baking! I've been to PEI for Highland Dance competitions, but never have seen the museum. I'll have to check it out next time!
On the other hand, I do buy the two to three pound bakers and hollow out the center, fill it with broccoli, cheese, butter, and cooked bacon, then bake at 350 for three hours. Mmmm yummy! :thumbup;
-
That sounds really good, actually
-
Potato salad sounds good to me!

don't know if I've got enough eggs.. *LOL*

My mum, being an Irish woman of a certain erm 'vintage', she'd love this!...
She says she'd like it double boiled (well, she wouldn't like it double boiled, but renal needs must!)... She says she'd like it mashed, with lots of Garlic Butter and Garlic Pepper, please!... Yes, we DO have Dragon Breath, but on the plus side, we don't get many visiting vampires!....
Darth...

A lot of Irish came here during the famine. I think it's why potatoes are such a big deal here. Potatoes are one of our biggest exports. It's probably why we have a "potato museum" *LOL*
-
Definitely baked! I remember back when I was a teen, there was a place in their town called The Baked Potato. It was sort of a fast food place that only served baked potatoes with your choice of toppings. Loved that place! :bandance;
-
We have a restaurant like that here, well, kind of... I forget what it's called, but it's on the North Shore and is open in the summer for tourists. Everything on the menu has potato in it somehow. It could be as simple as mashed or a baked potato, but they have potato pasta, potato pie, and a potato vodka martini, made with potato vodka, which is also made locally.
-
Do they also serve potato pancakes (latkes)? Yum!
-
Warm German potato salad mit or ohne Speck-- enough for the whole forum!

That reminds me. My mother-in-law did not know how to cook, she tried but just couldn't. Anyway, we had a picnic at our house and she brought canned German potato salad. It was NASTY! I came into the kitchen and what did I see? One of my cats up on the counter eating the potato salad! I called my husband in to see & we both started laughing. Nobody else would touch it, just the cat! To this day, if we are in the grocery store and see a can of German potato salad, we look at each other & just crack up!

To cook a potato that big you can use an old survival method.
First select stones and cover a hole in the ground the size of the potato, then make a very hot fire for a few hours in this hole with extra stones on top.
When the Stones are fully heated remove the remains of the fire and place the giant potato in the the hole (with the help of others).
Now place the extra stones on top of the potato and cover with earth or sand from the surrounding area.
Leave giant potato to cook overnight.
In morning excavate potato and eat. (small amount if on Potassium restricted diet)

I'm as horrified as you are by the thought of canned potato salad, CebuShan. I was thinking of my mother's recipe: fresh parsley, crispy bacon, a touch of vinegar and the secret ingredient, enough beef bouillon to moisten it nicely. Such a magnificent potato deserves only the best ingredients--and so do we!
On the other hand, jemmans' method sounds good too...
-

Yeah, they probably did. My grandfather makes potato pancakes. I don't really like them, and I think he was a little perturbed when I put a little salt and ketchup on mine. *L*

And then some!
-
Ketchup?! :puke; Gotta be sour cream or applesauce. Of course, I never buy ketchup. A couple of months ago I tried a new recipe that needed some ketchup. Rather than buy a whole bottle that would mostly go to waste, (neither my husband & I care for it) I went down to the gas station/convenience store & asked if I could have a few packets of ketchup. The owner gave me enough for my recipe & refused my offer to pay!
-
Applesauce, definitely.
-
I think my grandfather used molasses...
like I said, I didn't like his potato pancakes
-
