Have you ever eaten canned potatoes?

Got it. I was asking my dad if they have that “salty, soggy, soupy” taste to them, and he just said, I don’t know, they tasted like potatoes. Greattt so useful. Thanks Marie, your info gave me more insight

@Melanie_Marie I keep a few cans here in case of not being able to get to the store in bad weather, or for emergencies if the kids show up and I don't have everything I need. My oldest son loves fried potatoes with a breakfast of eggs...I think I mostly keep them here for that, but they are convenient, inexpensive, and tasty. And, you're welcome, I am glad I helped in some way.

Thanks Heather, never considered mashing them into mashed potaters, might give it a try.

@Melanie_Marie Yeah..they just don't taste right but you know we have to be thrifty and eat.

@RebeccasFarm Yes

Wonderful news Thank you OT xx I haven’t made a move with them yet.

@Melanie_Marie that is good, I will wait for your post of what you did with yours so I will get the idea

If you want, I’ll mess around with them first and see what they’re like. I’m getting some pretty good advice here so we’ll see what I can come up with. Thank you @rakski

@rakski Will definitely post the finished product

Ok, so the salt will help with the drying process.. I have no problem letting them dry out for as long as possible to get them to fry up good. Thanks NJ for the info.

I just might try the cheese potato fries method, thank you, Faru. And hey if you like the rings and bracelets, go for it. Enjoy the view

@FaruMesh Thank you, but my last discussion went bye-bye for some reason, when I know I didn’t break any rules. I didn’t use any links, or even mention the name of my newest job, only what it entails. But because I am no longer an overthinker, the “trying to figure it out” stops right here. What you do is take the thought, crumble it up like a piece of paper, and toss it in the trash.

@Melanie_Marie I'm, there will be always something to enjoy in your posts.

Thanks @snowy that’s the plan. I’ll let ya know how they turn out. Could always make breakfast casserole with them if they misbehave right from the start.

@Melanie_Marie I’m sure you’ll do wonders with them. Good luck!

They’re that bad? I’ll see what I can do. Thanks Ors

I agree with you. Made me wonder why they would want to can these things anyway, I’m guessing as a time-saver. Thanks @id_peace

I agree! I do love my potatoes. Maybe even microwave with some butter, garlic/onion powder + paprika and pour some melted cheese and then dip in ketchup. Thank you @FourWalls

@Melanie_Marie Let us know how they taste.

CAN’T STAND canned carrots and that’s exactly what I was afraid these would resemble. We shall see Thank you Vicki

Then we’re in the same boat. And I get the feeling these things are gonna sink like the Titanic no matter what I do. But still worth a try. Haha Thanks B

Yeah I usually work with the fresh spuds, but even they can be a pain because they just stay SO HARD for me (that sounded wrong) but you know what I mean. They take awhile to cook before you can easily cut thru them. I won’t let these go to waste and thank you for sharing Mom’s technique. Draining seems to be the main thing here, before doing anything else.

Hello my friend, I’m sorry I missed your response. I just finished typing out this big report then remembered there was one more answer in here that I (thought I) saw but then it got lost in the mix. Potatoes + salad would = potato salad! Haha That’s always an option but then there’s the mayonnaise problem, can’t seem to find one without the soybean oil. Same goes for salad dressings but you know what I just recently discovered? HUMMUS makes a wonderful salad dressing. I had this plate from a Lebanese place with grilled chicken, lettuce, and hummus. Little by little the salad part started mixing in with the hummus and I was like um, yum. :) I’ll post a discussion showing what I’ve done with these canned taters once I get to it. Haven’t even attempted it yet. And thanks!

I know! They have them so nicely sliced already. Maybe… scalloped potatoes if all else fails? I’ll keep you guys posted because this is serious
