good grief I thought everyone used them for making shieh kabobs!
A bamboo stick, some lamb or tenderloin, onions slices mushrooms and yes the potatos. Normally I soak them in a marinade for 1/2 hours prior to bbqing them.

It must be time to go, the suns out and I've got a full tank of diesel and an empty charge card!
chopped onion, butter, a little parsley. toss in a skillet with a stick of melted butter. heat slowly until onion pieces turn clear and taters brown.
serve with eggs and toast, meat optional.
in New England, they are called Home Fries.
Whole Canned White Potatoes in the can
while baking a meat loaf, at our house it is a meat lump, not cooked in a loaf pan but on a cookie sheet. We spread the taters around the meat lump, sprinkle taters with salt, pepper, parsley and paprika, allow to roast as meat lump cooks. Meat flavor is absorbed by taters, good stuff.
these are the only two things we use the canned taters for, but, BOTH are to our liking. You will need to have your own opinion.
Canned potatoes brings back memories. We had four kids in our family and the six of us grew up tent camping in the family sedan in Michigan in the 50's and 60's. Dad built a little pull out kitchen that had room for the Coleman stove, a few pots and canned goods that he could just throw into the trunk of the car. He kept it stocked with canned potatoes, corned beef, canned tomatoes, soups, etc. He called it Farmers Breakfast and would fry the potatoes, with a chopped up onion, whatever kind of breakfast meat he had brought, tore up 3-4 slices of bread and then a dozen eggs and scramble it up, all in one pot. That and some ketchup fed the six of us.
He also would boil a bag of flat egg noodles, drain about 3/4 of the water off, add the canned potatoes, a can or two of corned beef, slice an onion into it and that was dinner along with buttered bread.
We still make that sometimes.
Nothing needed to be stored in the cooler except eggs, milk, meat, etc.
When I was growing up we always sliced them real thin, chopped up some onion and fried them in a cast iron skillet. They're great for breakfast or as a side with dinner.
This is an easy one. We make foil dinners with them. Cut chicken breast into 1" cubes, place in bowl and pour some Italian salad dressing on them. Fat free works as well as the "leaded". While that is marinading cut a green or red pepper into chunks. Ditto a medium onion. Spray aluminum foil with PAM or other cooking oil. Put meat, potatoes, veggies and some button mushrooms on. Salt n pepper to taste, tightly wrap and seal and grill over med heat about 15-20 minutes. Turn frequently.

We have used the diced canned potatoes in clam chowder or in just plain, old potato soup. Not at all bad tasting and easy to use.

Wow...thanks to all the responses. Growing up in my house (we camped all the time as well), that is what my mom always used camping. I haven't bought them in years and they were buy one get one free...so I picked them up. But there they sit in my cupboard. I just couldn't bring myself to cook them.
But thanks to you all....I have alot of great ideas. Thanks!!!
