I do the same as Rae~ slice them and fry them in some butter. You could saute some onions/garlic first and then add the potatoes in for different flavor. Use them as a side for whatever your dinner is, or if you are needing a really quick dinner, serve them with scrambled eggs and toast! My 12 year old thinks it's great when we "have breakfast for dinner!"
Add them to beans and ham...add them to chicken corn chowder...
Jennifer's idea to put them in with beans is a really good one!
BTW, do NOT try to mash them. Seriously! My brother did this and it was YUCKY!!!! They just do not have the right consistancy!
