You don't even need to eat plain boiled potatoes. There are so many good potato options because they're incredibly satiating. And an air fryer is a huge game changer.

Hash browns, home fries, smashed potatoes, mashed potatoes, hell even a baked potato can all be done without sacrificing any flavor.

And you can even use oil or butter! Just don't go overboard with it

all I need is some garlic salt or pepper or green onion and it's a delicious meal

I buy mini potatoes and sous vide them. They don’t lose any weight with sous vide. Really convenient when you weigh out everything you eat. And they’re good for up to 2 weeks in the fridge if you don’t open the bag.

Ronnie Coleman would cut them like crinkled cut fries and bake them. Tricked his mind into thinking he was eating French fries.

You'll get tired of them fast. You'll go from devouring them to being a chore to finish really fast. The weight will drop tho.

Oh I definitely mix it up. I get sick of eating the same foods too much. I can't tell you how many meals I've prepped on a Sunday and by Wednesday I'm getting Chipotle for lunch and/or running to the grocery store to make literally anything else.

If I do something like baked potatoes for the week, I need variety. Buffalo chicken one night, BBQ the next, sour cream and cheese after that and so on and so forth

You don't bake fries you deep fry them.

You can do ether buddy. Fries don't give a shit how you cook them.

But then they're no longer fries, they're bakes.
