Four Foods on Friday
I’ve been super bad about getting my Four Foods on Friday questions answered on time, and even worse at buzzing around and reading everyone’s answers, but this week is going to be different thanks to the long weekend. I promise I’ll stop by and comment on everyone’s answers (except those that make me login to comment – please let everyone comment).
1. Potato Chips. What kind of chips are your favorite?
I like original Jay’s and tortilla chips on taco night (and once in a blue moon I’ll get a taste for Doritos), but Mike’s constantly begging me to buy snacks because I never keep chips in the house.
2. What’s your favorite thing to dip chips in?
Guacamole…without the onion or tomato, which basically means I just like mushed up avocado.
3. What’s your favorite way to eat a baked potato?
Sour cream and chives…but baked potatoes are another food we rarely eat.
4. How do you make mashed potatoes?
My sister just asked me how to make mashed potatoes the other day. I peel, quarter, and boil potatoes until they are soft. Then I drain, add a dollop of butter, salt, pepper, and parsley, then mash the daylights out of them. If I’m feeling extra unhealthy, I’ll add a chunk of cream cheese before mashing.

Erin Jepson
That’s it, I’m off to get a baked potato from Wendy’s for lunch. Not super fancy, but cheap and fast.

Laurie – you are a slave driver! I haven’t heard an update. I’m still hoping it goes up before the holiday.
Corrin
Erin – aren’t they on the 99 cent menu? I lived off of those in college!
Karen
I love a big baked potato all by itself. I even eat the skin. Yummy! Have a great Labor Day weekend Corrin.
Anele
Ooh, cream cheese in the mashed potatoes. I’m trying that one next time! YUM!
Charla
I like the skin, too, especially if it’s salted and kind of crisp.
clair
I like to keep my mashed potato plain too.
