My parents are from Northern Germany and growing up there were boiled potatos every day. After college and going off on my own, it was nice to cook and experience a side that wasn't a potato. But now I find myself making them more and more.
Growing up in Sweden, I`m a meat and potato guy (WITH gravy!) I like potatoes in many forms...my ex once gave me a small potato cookbook, 200 potato recepies! If you like cooking ,try "Hasselback potatos" I`ll see if theres a recipe online if not I`ll make one found them , LOTS of recipes... heres one http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Hasselback-Potatoes/Detail.aspx but I never add the parmesan or bread crumbs to mine, just the plain butter ,brush it on evety 5-10 minutes so it slides down into the cuts...I never turn them either , just top side up...my kids LOVE these!
and cook at 425 in oven for 45 minutes!just plain and with butter is the best...adding all the other stuff doesnt really "add" anything, just losing the potato taste!
