    Spices on boiled potatoes? I only put salt on mine. What are you recommending?

      As an American, this comment almost made me drop my gun and steer my F-350 off the road (I was scrolling and driving ofc). I feel so sorry for you guys, I hadn’t realized you’d been living like this since we broke up.

      You can do so much with potatoes and a little bit of spices. Maybe start out with some black pepper, or some chili powder or paprika. Old Bay would also go great. If you’re really feeling adventurous, instead of conquering India, you could pan fry the potatoes instead of boiling them, and use a little hot sauce or ketchup. For boiled or baked potatoes in particular, dressing them with some sour cream or sauerkraut can be very good.

        I happen to love the other comment about us eating like we have universal healthcare because my favorite potato is the loaded one lol

        Baked potato, sour cream, bacon, chives, melted cheese… (Insert Homer drooling image)

      Try tumeric with a bit of paprika, maybe a bit of cayenne if you like spice. Add some ghee or butter if you want something more indulgent.
