Cool Was gifted 50 lbs premium Idaho potatoes Help! LOL

Was gifted 50 lbs premium Idaho potatoes and I already had 15 lbs at home. We love potatoes but I will need to come up with some new dishes.

Give me your best potato dishes.

One dish I need to bring to a gathering with mostly guys to feed this Saturday. This could be full of goodies like cheese and sour cream.

The rest of the ptatoes will be consumed by my large family. Especially for my family, I am interested in some dishes that are not chuck full of sour cream and cheese.

The weather is warming up here, SoCal, so they will not keep as long outside of the frig as they would 1 or 2 months ago.

Love it thimblebug6000! This one would be great for the family and the kids will like it because it reminds them enough of French fries. Thank you.

This is an old recipe that is very good! Makes enough for 6 - German Potato Pie - Preheat oven to 350* F
3 eggs, well beaten.............6-8 large potatoes................1 cup hot milk.............6 TBSP butter............2 ½ tsp salt.........1/3 cup grated onion.....
Beat all ingredients except for potatoes. Grease an 8 x 12" pan. Peel and grate the potatoes as quickly as possible to avoid browning. Add grated potatoes to the egg mix and mix well. Pour into greased pan and bake at 350* F until set....approx 1 hour.


Here is a link that looks like the same recipe https://www.cooks.com/recipe/xf6vu10...otato-pie.html

That sounds very good and maybe could be used as a breakfast casserole? Thank you!

​Scalloped potatoes are always a hit with my family. Twice baked potatoes are a guy pleaser. Potato soup can be made in a crock pot for a large crown and cornbread on the side is tasty.

I know potato soup is delicious but I am holding back on that one because we just finnished a potato soup that I disguised as a clam chowder. I am sneaky that way. Great ideas. Haven't made scalloped potatoes for a long time so that one is a must and the twice baked potatoes sounds very good. Plan to make extra baked potatoes to use some for twice baked potatoes.

I'd look at making french fries and hash browns and freezing them.

Make batches of mashed potatoes and freeze. Mashed potatoes freeze great and last a long time.

We love
Gnocchi and it is very easy to make and the best potatoes for it in the US are Idaho ones. You need a ricer for the gnocci and I use a gnocci board because I make it several times month. Both are very inexpensive on Amazon.

We love shrimp twice baked potatoes for a main dish. Paula Dean has a good basic one to start with. I increase the temp to 400+ to bake the potatoes the first time.
