I don't like potatoes, is there anyone else that doesn't like potatoes and how do you describe the reason?!


Question: I don't taste anything when I eat potatoes, except for sort of a bitter starch flavor that is more trouble than it is worth.
Am I missing a flavor that everyone else tastes, or are there lots of other people like me who don't like potatoes?

I LOVE ketchup so I'll eat potatoes if I can use them to eat a lot of ketchup

potatoes have a bland taste to me caroline o.

thats really weird i love potatoes

It could be the type of potato and the way that they're cooked? I bet you could find a really delicious potato dish that you like!

I only like roast potatoes.
Baked potatoes are ok aslong as they're like drowning in butter.

Boiled or mashed are absolutely disgusting :l
Its just so bland and the textuer is horrible. I'm with you on this one, cover them in ketchup and I might just be able to eat them ^_^

i love potatoes...but i will die first before i consume any sort of melon...idk why

i wont mind tiny pieces in a fruit salad though lol

it's just a preference, a lot of smells or tastes just turn people off. there might be some sensory memory there (like you vomited once eating that food, so you get nauseous every time you smell or taste it) or you just plain don't like the taste.

Most people I know like potatoes but there is someone else somewhere that thinks what you think.

I didn't like potatoes till I was in my 30s and even then I didn't like chips until a few years later. Now in my 40s, although I will eat them, I would happily eat a meal without them.

Potatoes can be cooked in so many ways. Mashed with some butter salt and milk and they are wonderfully creamy. Boost the taste with some freshly ground black pepper.
as you eat have a nice onion sauce, creamed cheese sauce Curry etc.
I like tomato sauce also

Chop them up and cook with a casserole.

I love potatoes like Bubba loved shrimp... potatoe soup, french fries, mash potatoes, tatar tots, hash browns, scallop potatoes, baked potatoes, potatoe salad, potatoe pie, sweet potatoe pie......lol

i love potatoes go figure

Baked, boiled, mashed, scalloped, french fries, Potatoes Au Gratin, potato salad, mmm German potato salad, potato chips, home fries, hash browns, tater tots.

If you don't like any of this try adding gravy, butter, sauce, sour cream, cheddar cheese, bacon bits, garlic, onions, you name it...

Yes and even ketchup!

Not only that, they're probably the cheapest food you can buy to fill you up. What are potatoes today, 18 cents a lb?

I live in Idaho...can't NOT LIKE potatoes....even if I didn't....lol
