I have had hashed brown potatoes for breakfast every morning for over two years, since I started growing them. I like potatoes, and just when I think I am getting tired of them, I rekindle my love. I can hear my wife grating the potatoes when I am still in the sack.
I love potatoes baked in the coals ...
I keep a sack of potatoes at my shop and if i feel some hungry coming on, just wrap one in foil and tuck it in the corner of the wood stove, raised off the ashes and away from the direct heat blast. It only takes about thirty or forty minutes to cook a large potato. I might take it out of the foil and set it on a rack that I can stick in there, close down the intake and damper and give it a few minutes for some smokey flavor and crisp up the outside. It makes a great snack during the late afternoon. I dig wood heat for cooking. I smoked some cheese in my stove yesterday. A few small blocks of cherry or oak tossed on some almost dead coals, just to ignite the blocks and get them burning a bit before shutting the whole thing down, works extremely well for putting out a good dose of sweet smoke. Hard to avoid sometimes getting smoke into the room, which is little bother at the shop, in a house might require a more delicate operation. I've had folks over and cooked whole meals in the stove while sitting around it. Also a big grill on top for cooking, made out of some thick channel and tacked on. Home made stoves can be great things, setting them up the way you want.
Here is a tip.* Processed cheese makes for really good tasting stuff if you smoke it. It doesn't seem to melt so readily as regular cheese, so easier to smoke. I often have some with my eggs. Cheap as well. Excellent compliment to some drink or whatever too. People usually can't tell you are giving them processed.
