hard-pressed

意味　〈人などが〉＜…するのが＞困難で＜to do＞

(CNN)Baked, fried, roasted, mashed, creamy, crunchy, salty and starchy — potatoes seem designed to appeal to everyone, and I’d be hard-pressed to find a person who’s not a fan.

確かにポテト料理嫌いな人はそうそう居ない気がする（けどカレー嫌いな人も居るからなw）

pigment

意味　[U] [生物] （動植物の）色素.

And if you hate peeling potatoes, you’re in luck. “I always encourage people to eat the skins,” Czerwony said, because that’s where both potatoes and sweet potatoes store their high-fiber content. Sweet potatoes are also powerhouses of vitamin A, which comes from the beta-carotene pigment that gives them their gorgeous golden color.

皮付きじゃがいも美味しいもんなー。まあ加熱しないと食べられない＝私は自炊できないんだけど。。

parboil

意味　〈野菜など〉を半 [下] ゆでにする.

Smashed potatoes get their crunchy exterior and soft interior from the one-two-three punch of parboiling, then smashing each softened whole potato until the skin splits and the potato flattens into a disk. The smashed potatoes are then roasted until they sizzle.

「one-two-three punch」がどんな単位なのかは知らん！w

go the extra mile

意味　いっそうの努力を重ねる.

Sure, you can heat up a bag of frozen hash browns in a skillet, but why not go the extra mile and bust out the waffle maker for the crispiest breakfast side dish imaginable? Waffle iron hash browns can be made with fresh shredded potatoes or sweet potatoes, or a mix of both kinds of potato.

waffle maker…って一時期よく見かけたホットサンドメーカーみたいなものなのかな？→ぐぐったらまさにそんな感じだった。

doughy

意味　〈見た目· 感触が〉パン生地のような.

There are many ways to fill a pierogi, but a potato pierogi is a classic for a reason. Paired with cheddar, sauerkraut or caramelized onions, it’s pure doughy and starchy comfort. Skip the frozen boxed version just once and try your hand at making a batch from scratch.

スペルのまんま「doughみたいな」でよかったのか！
