Potatoes as ride fuel

[Zen]

Peeled?
I discussed potatoes as fuel with my doctor who told me that all the potassium is in the skin

[OakLeaf]

Also in the skin are all the nightshade toxins, and if they're not organic, all the really scary fungicides and pesticides they use on potatoes.

I don't eat the skin unless they're both organic AND very freshly dug so they haven't had a chance to green. If there's any green in the flesh, I don't eat that part, either.

I can't afford to be that picky.

That, and I just don't care. I rarely eat potatoes and the level of offensive ingredients are comparatively low.

Zen and her infinite wisdom LOL... No I don't do the mellow yellow (smoke the dried out banana peel).

Don't eat the green colored potato skin (not mold) but green like the leaves Green color will be next to the "meat". Otherwise, yummy.

Potatoes!?!?!

Potatoes? POTATOES!!! PO-TAAAAAAAY-ToooooooOOOOOOOooooES!!

-Knot has a slight potato "issue."

(cookie-monster-esque melee ensues)

My rides and half marathons are fueled beautifully by potatoes accompanied by some form of carbonized/oxidized mammal flesh with copious amounts of olive oil. If I can find no other mid-ride sustenance, a can of Coke and a bag of chips will suffice.

Potatoes are my friends. (they don't talk back and they do as I say=friends.) I haven't tried plain boiled taters in a baggie on rides, because I know that would send me crashing. But taters with a block of cheese and some pecans would be awesome.

(BTW - I eat any part of the tatoe that can't get away from me.)

Everybody's body is different.

I know that I only like have a potato ...1-3 times..per month. In actual fact, there are times I go for 4-5 months without having any potato. Potatoes seem to sit around in me a bit longer ...like sludge.

It's not hard to imagine this...whole regions of the world do not have much potato in their diet. Other sources of healthy energy.

This thread is making me miss potatoes. (I'm allergic to raw potato juice, apparently. Makes prepping them hard.)

I like them peeled, boiled, then brushed with olive oil and garlic (lots of garlic!) and roasted.

I get the cheese, but pecans? Hmmmmmm. I LIKE pecans....I LOVE cheese....I like taters.....hmmm

Might need to conduct an empirical test here.....

Yummy. I've been getting some local new potatoes at the farmer's market. I just roast them with some olive oil, kosher salt and pepper until they're a little crispy. OMG; they're so good.

I've often thought about using them on rides, but I suppose I'd just rather have them for dinner!
