Simple boiled potatoes, especially fresh ones, are delicious, with a little piece of butter. They have delicate flavor. However, nobody likes them in the US... potatos have to be at least deep fried and better yet dipped into some crap. Reminds me of when I was in Munich with some American friends and they thought pork (and potatoes etc.) were flavorless... it just had the flavor of pork :)

I feel like the worst parts of the US diet are not the staples or the meats or anything like that, it's all the additions - too much butter, ketchup, dressings, syrups, sauces, cheeses, added bread (crusts, buns and crumbs) etc. on everything. When your taste buds are nuked by this stuff all the time it's hard to appreciate subtle flavors.

I cube them, boil them, and eat them with mustard or hot sauce. Even with ketchup isn’t that bad. Or I toss them into a soup or stir fry.

Mash potatoes involve peeling them. That’s a waste of time and nutrients.

Call me crazy, I like the skin on in mashed potatoes. I think it adds to the flavor.

I think that depends on the potatoes. On some it'll feel like you're just chewing on and swallowing paper.

Not crazy at all because I also like the skin on a mashed potatoes

same. unfortunately my wife and now the kids do not :-(
