i could only think of the Shrek quote lol

Look at these potatoes. These potatoes were amazing. Potatoes are great because they’re really, realllllllly hard to screw up. Here’s how I made these with the help of my friend.

Ingredients:

Potatoes (I used some little-ish red potatoes)

Olive oil

Garlic salt

Chives/ green onions

Onion (I used yellow onion but red would also by yummy)

**Gouda cheese (I looooove gouda but really any kind would be good. Oooh parmisian would be really good) If you are vegan or lactose intolerant, skip the cheese. Don’t eat that gross and rubbery vegan cheese. It’s terrible. It will ruin your potatoes. I’ve had it before. Don’t do it.

How to make these good ass mother heckers:

1) You should probably wash your potatoes. It just seems like a good idea. You probably should dry them if you wash them. You can then slice those starchy bois 1/16 inch or 2-4 mm (depends on your preference. Thin=crispy and thick=soft) Oh and I think you’re also supposed to preheat your oven. I set mine at 387°F because I’m weird. According to Google, that’s 197.2°C.

2) coat these things in olive oil. Or any other oil or fat of some sort (like butter) with a medium to high smoking point. I don’t really know what that means other than how hot it has to get to burn or like. Start smoking. Good luck.

3) Chives. Garlic salt. Onion. Load these bois up. Get it allllll over. In between all of those pieces you sliced. Mm mm mmmm.

4) throw those in your oven for maybe 30 minutes. Potatoes take awhile to cook, so if you do really thick slices it might take up to 50 minutes. I really don’t know, so just check them in 5-10 minute intervals.

5) If you want to skip cheese, don’t read the rest of this step. Once your potatoes have about 5 minute left, pull them out and LOAD them with cheese. More cheese than you’ve ever had on a potato before. Trust me on this one.

6) Once your potatoes are done, pull them out of the oven and turn to oven off. I feel like I shouldn’t have to say this, but just in case.

Sadio Mane: The Perfect ‘Klopp Player’ |

I did a similar article to this on Roberto Firmino back around the time Liverpool beat Crystal Palace 4-2 at Selhurst but this one will have a little bit of a twist so bare with me. After Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, Sadio Mane has now made 24 appearances for Liverpool in competitions and scored 11 goals, assisting a further 6. He’s been on fire since day one of the season when he burst through 3 Arsenal defenders to hammer into Petr Cech’s top corner with his weak foot in a 4-3 thriller at the Emirates and if anything he just keeps getting better. Some might say he’s becoming the perfect Jurgen Klopp footballer. 

Goals, Assists and Pace to Burn |

Much was made of Mane’s signing during the Summer and Southampton were seen by many to have managed to rob Liverpool by taking 35 million for the Senegalese’s services. The general view was that Mane was a talented footballer but performed solely in patches and with papers reporting him having a strained relationship with then manager Ronald Koeman, it was believed there could be attitude problems below the surface too. 

There have been absolutely none of those issues so far for Liverpool and it’s starting to look as if the 35 million paid for him was an absolute steal. The speedster has already equalled his Premier League goal tally of the previous two seasons - he managed 11 strikes in both 2014/15 and 2015/16 for the Saints - and his longest spell without a goal is two league matches which quells any fears of constant inconsistency. He’s also managed to lay on 4 league assists for his team mates - 5 if you include winning penalties - and provided a further 2 in the EFL Cup. 

It’s no secret that even with Mane possessing impressive finishing ability, quality vision and a telling relationship with his fellow attackers, his biggest asset and weapon is his incredible pace. The forward has the ability to cover distances both short and long in absolutely no time at all and his superb reaction times just add to his explosiveness. His ability to stay relatively ahead of the play - both in game intelligence and physical pace - sees him make his way into the box for most of the Reds attacks and allows him to find himself in the right place at the right time more often than not. Even when he’s not directly involved in the goal, his pace is more often than not involved in build up play with the game against Middlesbrough being a prime example. 

Intelligence and Commitment Off the Ball | 

While nobody will claim that defending from the front is something that looks to come as naturally to Mane as it does to someone like Firmino, it’s an area of his game that is constantly improving. When you think back to earlier games this season he often just tried to use his pace to scare opponents, charging into them during the press but more often than not causing them to lose balance and conceding silly fouls. Now however he’s far more intelligent in his work off the ball, taking up better positions and using his pace only when it’s needed. 

Watch his second goal against Tottenham. The Senegalese catches Eric Dier dallying on the ball, nips in and steals it off his toes before laying off a scoring chance for Lallana. While it took a few goes to finally have the ball in the net, the goal was made entirely by Mane’s knowledge of when to try and take the ball and his commitment to do so and get on the break. Even when things aren’t going the Reds way the winger never stops running, trying his hardest for the entirety of the 90 minutes and putting in the hard yards as much as he physically can. 

Perfect Fit for Klopp |
