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

Maybe if you cut it into small enough pieces, you could fit it into your frying pan???

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.

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;

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!....

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.
