    Yeah, but my potatoes were also whistling BEFORE I put them in the microwave. :confused: :confused: :confused:

    And it wasn't the Andy Griffith tune. :mad:

    Right? It's not rocket surgery.

    But I do like to nuke them then butter and salt them and put them under the broiler to crisp the skin. It's GOOD.

    Wonder how you people find these videos.

    All I need now is an annoying talking potato trying to talk me out of microwaving him. :)

    The art of singing food is seemingly a modern thing, but it is amusing to some... So eat more potatoes!

    Living underground for most of their life, potatoheads are not used to being thrown around, prodded and poked, sliced and diced! Whistling is a sign of stress for a potato, that they are all steamed up and ready to explode!

  13. What are those little potatoes that have no skin and are so good with butter? I haven't had any of those in the longest time. Like, you can fit a whole one in your mouth.

  15. Baby potatoes is what I'm thinking of. I love baby potatoes. Even though I don't have anywhere to cook them, maybe I'll just buy some and eat them raw. Maybe with a little salt. YUMMY!

    I always thought they were called "new potatoes". I have always liked them too. I am not sure I would try them raw.
