They're tatos, not like they give a fuck about being canned. If you want a quick weeknight side, these are cheap enough.

>canned potatoes
but why
its not like potatoes go bad

>>15807910
You really wanna eat this stuff?

>>15807897
good question, I have no clue. Probably an anachronism from days before modern food distribution infrastructure. I use canned tomatoes and canned beans occasionally, not too many other ingredients do that well in a can. Like fresh or frozen green beans, no wonder I thought I didn't like them as a kid, they were always from a can.

New potatoes are seasonal

>If you want a quick weeknight side
honey, I made your favorite wednesday-night dish: plain hot potatoes

>>15807938
Nigga, you know what I mean. Drain them, dump into a roasting pan, salt oil and dried herbs/spices, 20 minutes in the oven. No need to peel, no need to parboil.

I use them on shiskabobs. Good size and already cooked.

I did not know what you mean, but now I do. roasting them in a pan actually sounds real nice, the seasalt canning brine probably bakes some flavor into them too. Thanks for sharing how you use them, I'd even try that sometime. Never would have thought.

I saw this happening to a bag I had left on the counter for a while. It really freaked me out, for some reason mold makes me feel weird too, like they're coming back to life or something.

>>15807897
had this shit for school dinners
fucking vile

>>15807966
That is the one thing we have used them for

>>15807944
Grats, you saved 20 minutes, most of which was watching water boil.

>>15807897
I sometimes take them camping to chuck (subsequently sneed) in stews. Easier to pack in than loose potatoes and saves peeling and a lot of the cooking

tatoes are tubers, all the starchy carbohydrates we love so much are really calories stored up so the hibernating potato one day has energy to sprout. they were never dead.

>>15807897
get the sliced ones and pan fry them for breakfast with some eggs

>>15807897
not me, that's for sure!

>>15808050
>chuck (subsequently sneed)

When I donate to the foodbank, I include a few of those. Along with other things such as tinned ham/other veggies.

I figure they're longer life and so aid the logistics of allocating food out if it has to be stored for a bit.

>>15808016
They do that every spring, when the weather warms up.

Like anon said, skewers on the grill. Also use them for fondue, either cheese or broth. Fondue is out of fashion but I have my grandmas old 70s fondue kit so I still have it on holidays.

>Skewers on a grill
>Fried in a pan
>Chucked in stews and soups
They are very convenient, and not any worse, within these contexts.

>grilled potatos
what

>>15809442
It's like oven roasting
unless you mean fried

>>15808050
why do you peel your potatoes? All the flavor and nutrients are in the skins.

>>15807897
They're usually in glass here.
Pretty handy for caramelised potatoes or hashing. The kind of thing you keep in the pantry for emergencies more than anything else.

>caramelised potatoes
was ist das, tell me more. like in a skillet with onions and-or peppers? how do you do

>new potoes
as opposed to fucking what? old ones that've been sitting in a warehouse?

Butter and sugar in a pan and the pre-boiled small potates covered in it.
It's a classic part of Christmas dinner here in Denmark

unexpectedly based thread, thank you delmonte social media representatives

>>15809504
How long does one last unopened?

>>15808030
20 minutes saved is 20 minutes saved
what's there to complain about

I dump the cubed ones in soups if I'm feeling lazy. Or add to a can of corned beef hash that I'm heating up.

>>15809504
Nice looking eggs anon
