    They call dogs mans best friend, but we ignore the humble potato. Have they been with us as long as canines? No. That’s why they’re putting in so much effort to fufill our every need.

    One day you’re going to wake up and realize you love your potatoes. That they love you. The entire time, you’ll know what you need to do. It will hurt, as it always does, as you boil and mash this tuber that was once your closest companion, but in return, they will give you a full days nourishment and only ask for a little more butter this time.

            Right? Just pressure-cook the potatoes in vodka before letting them completely cool and then mash them. Then it’s not alcoholism, it’s side-dishes.

              You’re missing the forest for the trees. Vodka can be, and is, made from potatoes. What is that if not the man’s closest companion?

                That’s why I recommend using a pressure cooker instead of boiling them in vodka. Don’t let anything evaporate. Boiling potatoes in water to mash them makes watery potatoes. Pressure cooking them in vodka makes the potatoes more potato.

                ^Note: Please don’t actually pressure cook things with vodka. You’re just begging for the world’s scariest Molotov cocktail on your kitchen counter.^

    Potatoes are also one of the few foods you can live almost entirely on. If you eat the skin. They have about everything you need, unlike all other staple foods. The problem is you need a lot of them, and they get weird if they freeze. But you could dry them.

    Peruvians used to smash them on the rocks and freeze dry them in the cold Andean air to preserve them for the winters up there above 10k feet.

    They forgot that you can make a potato into a perfectly suitable pipe for smoking weed. Also an apple.

      I never understood why people did this. You can also turn an empty pop or beer can into a pipe so much easier. And they’re ubiquitous, unlike apples and potatoes.
