Yukon Gold

so dense and waxy, and seemed flavorless when compared with the russets I
usually use. The only good thing is, they held up better. Russets, of
course, just dissolve with rehearting, even though I put them in last while
cooking.
Today I used some of the Yukon Gold for hash browns, and they did a lot
better. They take a long time to brown and cook through, but stirred
frequently on high in my Calphalon omelet pan until brown on all sides then
turned down to medium-high for the rest of the cooking, with chopped onion
bits added after the browning, they came out really good. Crispy on the
outside, firm and flavorful on the inside. I'd use them again for hash
browns or any sort of fried potatoes.

Good for mashed also.

The last mashed potatoes I made were with Yukon Gold. They were delicious.

How long do you boil them, Edwin? In chunks, I generally boil russets for
about 20 minutes.

make the giant re-stuffed type of potato.
I would advaise against boiling the Yukons in chunks: they lose their flavor
and disintegrate too easily. If you can, leave the skins on, and boil them
either whole or just cut into the largest pieces that will make a uniform
size (ie, little ones whole, big ones cut in half, etc.)
Also try this: leaving the skin on, cut some Yukon Golds into chunks of
about 1 1/2". Put them in a single layer in a shallow metal pan and toss
with good olive oil, coarse salt (kosher or sea), fresh ground pepper and
either the coarse kind of garlic powder (such as "California-style) or
minced fresh garlic. Roast, tossing with a spatula once or twice, at 400F
(or higher, depending on how much of a hurry you're in) until nicely browned
and crispy all over and cooked through. (For this, garlic powder may
actually work better than fresh which will have a tendency to burn, heresy
though it may seem.)

How can this be when they took forever to cook in my vegetable soup, in
small chunks, and remained too firm, in the time it would take russets to
disintegrate?

What I should have said was that the Yukons tend to disintegrate around the
edges before the centers are done. Which actually makes them perfect for
chowders, where the potatoes are often cut deliberately at an angle so that
the edge will disintegrate into the soup and thicken it. I suppose if you
cut them into uniformly small pieces this might not happen, but I find that
then you are losing a lot of flavor.

I've lived in California for going on 28 years now, and never heard of
a "California style" of garlic powder. Do you mean "granulated" -- which
is sold along side of "powder" and is coarser (because it's not powder)?

McCormick--I think--sells a style that they call "California" which is
indeed probably granulated. I think it also contains a small amount of
parsley.

More of a simmer than a boil. I cut them in half and leave the skins on,
peeling away any bruised parts. About 20 minutes.

I use Yukon Golds in potato salad. I boil them whole and then peel them with
a well-known "trick": While the potato is still pretty hot, rub it lightly
with a clean dishtowel. Most of the skin will come right off.
Different people have different ideas about what the term "hash browns"
means. If I'm cutting potatoes into small cubes which will be pan-fried, I
use russet potatoes, though you have to be very gentle with them or they'll
fall apart as they approach doneness. If I'm shredding them to be pan-fried
I'll use red potatoes or Yukon Golds.
It's possible the reason cyberbitch had the problem with still-hard potatoes
is that the soup wasn't hot enough to activate the starch. If it wasn't
boiling-hot, the potato chunks will not soften very well. That's just a
guess, based on the low burning temperature of Sterno®, which never reaches
212°F even if protected from the wind in cyberbitch's refrigerator-box home
in the alley. Of course, if the soup *was* boiling-hot, then it stands to
reason that cyberbitch fucked it up in some other way.

I recently made the BEST potato salad of my life with half Yukon Golds
and half red skin potatoes. I am calling this memorable batch of potato
salad my "serendipity potato salad", I just set out to use up some lose
potatoes, odd bits of mayo (half Hellmanns low fat, half regular
Hellmanns), some kalimata olives I pitted, odd bits of leftover diced
red and sweet onions, some celery and voila! -it came out *incredibly*
well.
I peel my potatoes and then cube them before cooking, then let them cool
down spread out on a jelly roll pan.

I also peel and cube my potatoes before cooking, but I drizzle them with a
50/50 mixture of traditional French dressing and chicken broth while still
hot, stirring occasionally 'til cool, until all is absorbed. Really
improves the flavor of the potatoes. I think this was an old JOC trick.

The price of "gold" potatoes might as well be the karat weight of gold.
It's ridiculous. $7 for a five pound bag? No thanks. I'll take a bag of
the Idaho no-fancy-name spuds. They make perfectly fine baked and mashed
potatoes at half the cost.

I like the same combination of potatoes when making smashed potatoes
too. The salad sounds good. Next time try dressing the potatoes when
they are hot. It makes a big difference in the amount of flavor they
absorb.
George
They don't charge a premium for them around here (at least in the places
where I buy them). All of the beyond basic white are usually the same
price. They were $2/5 lb for the longest time and have crept up to
$2.39/5 lb.

Hey GRANDPA FATASS, you have a little foam on your lip. Careful now, you're

Dave Smith
We use so few potatoes around our house that I don't worry much about
the price them. I have been known to buy one or two potatoes at a time,
but that is much more expensive than buying them by the bag so I
sometimes buy 5 or 10 pound bags even though half of them will probably
go bad before we use them up. Given the amount of potatoes we use it is
not a big deal to pay extra for Yukon Gold, not that I have never
noticed that they are more expensive. I like them. They make good
mashed, make excellent fries and are good for baking and roasting.

I peel them after cooking--if I peel them-- but I also dress them while hot
with a combo of chicken broth, olive oil, mustard, vinegar, garlic, onion,
and S&P. They definitely soak it up.
Wayne Boatwright
That's much like the mixture I use when I said "french dressing" and
chicken broth.
As to cooking whole, then peeling and cubing afterward, I changed from
doing that because I didn't like handling really hot potatoes while doing
it, and I also (at least for me) found that I would get more uniformly
cooked potatoes in each cube than from a larger potato that was cubed
later, where the cubes cut from the inner part were firmer than those from
the outer part. Just me...

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I very liberally sprinkled the hot potatoes
with red wine vinegar as they cooled on the jelly roll pan. It was more
than I normally used in the past.
<sigh> it was WONDERFUL potato salad. I wish I had some now.

The potatoes were still warm to room temp when I dressed them. Not cold
at all. I think that improved the results a lot.

FWIW - I never peel potatoes, always dress them warm.
Yes, some are waxy, some are mealy. Some are better for boiling or
frying or baking, and I appreciate this discussion. When I want a
potato, though, I might prefer at the moment a red or yukon or russet,
but the one in front of me is the one going into the pot. It's a
potato.

I had no problem with cybertwat until this last June nineteenth, when it
went out of its way to attack Wayne simply because he'd never heard of
Juneteenth. Let's face it: Probably fewer than 30% of non-black Americans
have heard of Juneteenth, yet cybertwat went on the attack -- then
hypocritically did NOTHING to observe the occasion.
Ever since I commented on its hypocrisy, cybertwat has gone out of its way
to attack me. Even when I tried responding civilly, its hostility remained,
so now I feel free to deride and mock it.

i'm not sure how that would work with mayonnaise-only potato salad, but if
you're using oil or vinegar, adding it to the warm potatoes is the way to
go. sounds like it would save a step as well.
your pal,

blake murphy
cooking with the skin on is good practice. i've been a little too lazy
lately to do that, but do cook 'em whole (peeled) and cube later.
your pal,
blake
Wayne Boatwright
The mixture added to the hot potato cubes is usually entirely absorbed by
them by the time they are cool. It's at that point that I add the
remaining ingredients and my mayonnaise/sour cream based dressing. It
really works fine using both.

You might consider that no one except you has stood up in such blindly

By the way, I'm sure it escaped your notice because your head is so deep in

Um. Would someone without rabid spittle on their chin tell Grandpa FATASS
"Goth" that I have it killfiled, so it might not waste its time slithering
out of it's alcoholic fog to answer my cooking questions?
And also that I do remember the Juneteenth discussion. The problem is, his
point was invalid. Stupid, in fact, and pointedly irrelevant. It's what
happens when raging drunks try to think.

Do you notice how hysterical Bob sounds? It really caught me off guard. He
obviously takes it very seriously when he thinks he has a really good point
and finds out that all he has is the one on top of his head. I would suggest
you Google "Juneteenth" but it would be depressing if you cared as much as
Bob about this stuff.

I think Blake has a point. You may think that you are giving her what
she deserves, but what people are going to notice is that you are
gradually taking yourself down to her level, which is pretty darned low.
I killfiled her on 3/16/07, and have never regretted it. My filter has
blocked 4630 posts of hers. Greg Morrow posts intelligent and witty
things, but he just cannot resist replying to every one of her posts (at
least the ones he forced me to see). I killfiled him also, just so I
wouldn't see her posts and his useless replies to her. I killfile him
about once a week, since he continually changes his name and Email
address. I believe that he puts his name on the bottom of his posts,
but my killfile (and perhaps all of them) only work on headers.

It's true that I could killfile cybertwat on my computer at home. Problem
is, I post from a wide variety of machines. I often post from machines I've
never used before, and I have to set up my Usenet account anew each time.
One of the reasons I use Outlook Express is that it's available on pretty
much every Windows box out there, and setting up the account is routine by
now. Unfortunately, the filters for OE are stored in the Windows Registry
rather than on a file, so it's not feasible to put them on a disk and copy
them to a new machine, especially one which is shared by everybody in the
office.
Bob
Wayne Boatwright
If you used a self-contained newsreader like Xnews, you could keep the
entire configured program on a USB drive or a CD or DVD and use it
wherever you post. Not only would you not have to "setup" anything on any
computer you use, but all your filters, rules, etc., would already be in
place. Xnews does not require anything residing in the Windows registry.

I've been using the same basic news client for a long time, maybe a
decade. Before that, I used a client on a timeshare machine. When I
bought the last two Macs at home (the second one after I retired), I
discovered that the original Newswatcher didn't run under Mac OSX, which
is what was on the machines. I switched to MT-Newswatcher, which added
multithreading (the MT) and killfiling. Before that, I just ignored
spam and authors I didn't want to read, and a simple two key combination
when I was finished with a group both moved me to the next group and
marked all entries in the old group as read. The killfile is more
convenient and saves a little effort, but using my brain as a killfile
really worked fairly well.

My biggest reason for doing something like that wouldn't be the
killfile, since I can often remember who and what I don't want to read,
but to track which posts I've already read. Often posts I want to read
have the same author and subject as posts I've already read, but I can't
tell without opening them up whether I've already read them or they are
new since the last time I read the group.
Lou Decruss

Lou
Wayne Boatwright
That wouldn't be my biggest reason either, Dan. However, Xnews is highly
configurable, and I like the fact that it would look and act the same
everytime with no effort, as well as tracking posts.

I don't understand why people get so upset at Cybercat and call her all
those horrible names.
I understand why people get upset at Sheldon. He often posts bad
information. When he is called on it, he unleashes great volumes of
profanity and hate, and refuses to ever admit to being wrong. He takes
it very personally.
Cybercat doesn't post bad information. She doesn't post any information
at all. She is a complete waste of time, AFAIC. I'm not upset at her
at all, I just find no point in reading her posts, so I killfiled her
long ago.
Since I finally killfiled Sheldon a few months ago, I seldom see his
posts. If I do see something because somebody has replied to him, then
if it looks interesting enough, I may research it. If it seems to be
true, I may use the info. If it is false, I reply with the facts as I
see them. If Sheldon gets mad at me, then I don't see his reply, since
I've killfiled him. People seldom respond to him when he is in a rage
towards somebody, so I don't see replies to his rage either.

It's a LOT easier to post as cybertwat: All you have to do is post as if you
were a chancroid-speckled whore squatting in a squalid alley and spending
your days holding up a sign which reads, "Rimjobs, just $2."
BTW, it obviously escaped your notice because you're so stupid, but I
haven't used the word "cunt" here for some time: I stopped doing so at the
request of people I respect. It doesn't mean you're any LESS of a cunt; if
anything, you're gaping wider and smellier than ever.
(I realize that the concept of "respect" is difficult for you to grasp
because you don't merit respect from anybody, but maybe blake can help you
with it. Too bad Dubya wasn't President forty years ago; you might not have
been that child left behind year after year.)
Allow me also to point out that you recently posted about your FORTY-NINTH
birthday. Bitch, you are an OLD skank! It hardly behooves you to cast
aspersions on my age, when you're just one year younger. (I 'spec you be
havin' to ax blake to hep you with the words "behooves" and "aspersions"

Same here... but it's not always possible unfortunately. <sigh>
I used to like Cybercat but I did finally killfile her after she

Anyone who shouts 'liar' is beneath contempt. Too many people think it is a
way of winning an argument. They are wrong! If they could only know, what
people think of them when they do it.................................
Dave Smith
The problem is that some people have no problem lying and will make
things up to support their argument. Because they lie so much themselves
they assume that others do the same, and when the are countered with
facts they scream Liar. They are so lame that they think that their
silly insult discredits the other person when in fact they are only
