Aint No Martha Stewart - 1 potato, 2 potato, 3 potato, 4

So a combination of being bored and needing to cook almost an entire bag of potatoes led to this day.

Dustin and I started it off by having baked potatoes for lunch.

Then it went south from there.

I decided to make baked potato chips.

Round one: disaster.

From this round I learned not to coat them in olive oil.

Round two: slightly less disaster.

From this round I learned that I think the slices were too thick. Plus a took off a chunk of my finger in the grater.

Round 3: The finished product was actually really good...
for the 5 chips that didn't burn to a chard.

So then while speaking to Sam I decided to made Scalloped potatoes or Au Gratin, I still don't know the difference. They looked really good while I was making them (with the exception of the fact that I knew they'd be runny since we didn't have flour). Then I tasted them... I'm not quite sure why but the milk got weird in the oven... not to appetizing.

Scalloped/Au Gratin Potatoes: Looks awesome, tastes sub-par.

So basically I ran through 7ish pounds of potatoes, almost a block of cheese, the rest of my milk, and a ton of garlic salt.
