Tartan

I use my large knife and tap it with my kitchen hammer to split it in half and then slice the halves. I then cube it, put it in a pot with water to cover and simmer until tender. I drain off the water, put it back on the stove until dry and use my potato masher to mash it. It is delicious but I would like to know how others prepare it?

We bake it and then mash it with cinnamon, butter and brown sugar - not very healthy but delicious!

Tartan

Do you bake them in their skin or peel them and put in a oven dish?

I prepare it like a potato. My favorite is raw. My favorite vegetable!

Peel and boil them with white potatoes. Mash together.

Yes, mashed bagies are great, but if I have one in the fridge, it is slated for pasty-making. Mmmm, just mentioning them , I can smell them baking.

I mash with butter and grated cheddar cheese. Love it!

Hobo stew. Potatoes carrots onion rutabaga, ground sirloin or chicken breast cut in chunks and a pat of butter wrap in little foil packs and put on the grill, I also put a pat a little water to keep it moist, yummmy. I could eat it rather than potatoes

Yum, haven't had any in years since nobody in my family likes them. I used to parboil them then slice in strips and fry in butter. Salt and pepper.......yummy!

I make mine the same way as Tartan, but I stir in some crisp bacon bits before serving. Since mine always come from the grocery store, I always peel them to get rid of the wax they are coated in.

Tartan - I'm with you on hitting the knife with a hammer! Sometimes, I'm lucky and my husband will split it for me.

Seems that the recent ones I've bought are not as strong tasting as those I remember when my Mom cooked them. Maybe my taste buds have "mellowed" over the years!
