Thanks for stopping by /pol/.

Warm German potato salad is the ultimate potato dish

Canadians.


Yukon gold or bust.

>>14327829
Nordic countries. Our new season potatoes are sweeter than you could ever dream of because of the midnight sun and different soil. Also because we've developed superior cultivars around the 70's. These bad boys require nothing but a boil, some butter, onion and a sprinkle of salt to make you feel content. Often we'll just boil them with dill.

>>14327838
whyd you post this? who the fuck does this shit make your own shitty thread this is a thread about potatoes

>>14327829
>Who does them best?
mcdonalds

Every once in a while some pathetic schizo from Discord will try to """raid""" certain boards.

>>14327829
I find that most countries have their own unique spin on them and it would be hard for me to say that one is definately better than the other cause I don' t have enough data from own experiences to make a judgement call but if I were forced to then in my humble totally not at all biased opinion it would have to be the Swedes.

>>14328679
Bah! Tyrnävä, the globally leading centre for potato -related product development for life!

Americans make the best. Sour Cream + Chive

>>14327927
Got damn get the nigga on the right some cocoa butter.

>>14327829
I prefer simple salt potatoes, because they're the least amount of work. They are my favourite and most cooked side dish. The only annoying thing about potatoes is the long cooking time to me. Also prices have increased a lot in the last years in Germany.

>>14327829
Oregon and Idaho team up to make some darn fine taters.

>>14328679
fuck yeah

>>14328697
I can agree that I could have said Scandinavia but Finland being the center for potato R&D not a chance.

>>14328754
It's a joke. But it is true they've done some really important work there. Recently they've developed a way of growing potatoes without soil.

>>14328719
>Also prices have increased a lot in the last years in Germany.
yup. we basically have to pay sky high prices on all commodities so we can give free food to all the niggers flooding into the country.

Got that but couldn´t let you have the final say proclaiming Finland as the leading "potato developer".

That is actually really fascinating but how so, the first I can come to think about would be hydrophonics with a lot of nutrients in the water but I´m not really sure if that would suffice as I´m not sure exactly what conditions they need.

Actually really tempted to check your link and find out, thanks for the info.

Balkans

>>14328855
Naturally!

You won't find an article on it from those links, they're just for some of the institutes we have. But it is an interesting subject. You heard about how they're developing a way of growing rice in saline soil? Now that's interesting.

>>14328879
Now you´re just fucking with me but on the off chance that it could be right ´cause trying to develop it is in fact plausible and kind of likely yes that would be really amazing for a number of reasons.
Guess we are talking GMOs here because I just can´t see how it could be possible otherwise.

>>14328725
Me and my brothers threw these over my neighbors garage

>>14328933
as the old swedish saying goes

>>14328926
"Sea rice". Look it up.

>>14329013
I did not know that, turns out it apparently have been commercially available since 2017 and is used in a pretty wide scale some older article mentioned expanding to 20 million hectare so it seems to be pretty widely used already, fascinating stuff indeed as things like this could help with combating world hunger in different parts of the world.

Yes, indeed, but back to potatoes: ever had Lapin Puikula? It's an EU protected food name.

>>14329188
No I haven´t tried that one, is there a good reason for why I should (protected food name does indicate that it might be worth trying, is it a special variety or something that has to be farmed at a specific location?)?

>>14329188
With Lapin in the name it feels like it´s mostly due to the location but that can be as good of a reason to try something as anything.

>>14327829
The krauts and the confederates.

>>14328679
That looks like Fleischknödel only worse.

>>14329273
From the looks of it the "potatoshell" might be similar but yours looks like it has minced meat and is that onions instead of I think it would be called salted pork belly or something in english which are then diced and where is the most important part i.e. lingonberryjam.

With that said those sure look tasty as hell.

Italy.

Yes. They call it "the almond potato". Very delicious. And definitely stands out.

>>14329217
Not just the location, the cultivar itself is also important.

https://www.tasteatlas.com/lapin-puikula
"Lapin Puikula has a very floury flesh and a buttery taste. [...] Due to its very high starch content, around 19%, it can be prepared faster than other potatoes."

Sweden and Norway also have "almond potatoes" or "fingerlings", but they're not the same.

>>14328594
Boiled new potatoes sliced on top of rye bread with a little mayo and chives. That's good stuff.
Fucking love potatoes. Especially this time of year.

>>14327829

The French.

colcannon is delicious

>the story of Princess Idaho in American folklore pertains to the story of a potato farmer who when picking his crop of potatoes, unearthed the young Princess Idaho

>>14329518
Aha, if it´s the same type of "almond potato" we can by over here on the other side of the puddle then yes I have tried it although I don´t really remember what it tasted and I can´t really say I know much about potato other than I love "fresh potato" or whatever it would be called in english.

Location can be more than enough to produce a unique and great product but it´s always more interesting when it´s a "special" product as well.

Wait I just saw your last entry so it is a different almond potato to the one you can get in Norway and Sweden, I´m starting to get a bit confused can I somehow order these Finnish "almond potatoes" if it´s not the same ones you can buy in the store over here (are you sure it´s not the same but cultivated in a different place as least?).

>>14329273
I need to get in on the Knödel game already.
I love potatoes but there are still a lot of recipes I haven't tried with them.
Goes to show how extremely versatile the humble spud really is.

>>14329692
Frankly, you'll probably have to fly over to taste them. Only other way I could see for you to find them is if a specialized and pricey restaurant took an interest in them and ordered them seasonally.

>>14329693
Papas huancayinas for the win!

>>14329692
Dunno. The Swedish and Norwegian varieties haven't got the same protection. There must be a reason for it.

How do I make good mashed potatoes? My whole family does not drink milk so we never have any in my fridge.
>Take 3 potatoes, chop them up roughly
>boil water, salted
>boil taters for 15-20 min
>drain, let the potatoes steam and release excess water
>mash the fuckers
>add butter, a little salt, pepper
Anything I can do to make it better?

>>14330519
yeah, buy milk or cream to add to it.

>>14330519
Milk and/or cream and a bit of nutmeg.
