The most versatile of foods, creating chips, hash browns, and vodka, among other things. Which option is the best one?
IMO some good hot chips (fries for you incorrect Americans)
Poutine.
🇨🇦🥔♥️
While poutine is great, I think that’s kinda cheating. The question was about forms of potatoes, not dishes with potatoes in them. “Cheese curds and gravy” is not a form of potato, and I doubt you’d rank the naked fries underneath so highly.
Did you read the rest of the posts? We’re well beyond that.
“Cheese curds and gravy” is not a form of potato
That’s because humans improved upon God’s creation. If we had an omniscient god, poutine would grow on trees.
So the, you must discount scalloped potatoes with cheese.
Me thinks you’d get disagreement on that.
I do. Another tasty dish for sure, but the spirit of the question compels me to consider only the potato portion of the dish.
Now, I am content to control for toppings/seasonings. I would measure scalloped potatoes against cheese fries against a baked potato with cheese, etc. Or any potato variety covered in cheese curds and gravy.
I would have said a close race between potato bake & wedges with sour cream & sweet chilli - until i went to Canada, and now i say Poutine.
Boiled, mashed, and stuck in a stew.
Shoot, someone down below beat me to it.
What’s “taters”, precious?
Boil’em, mash’em, stick’em in a stew!
Vodka
Spanish tortilla.
It is just a huge potato pie with only potatoes, onions, eggs and olive oil. Look it up if you never seen it.
I. Want. This.
It’s easy to make the hardest part is flipping it without destroying it. If you have a double-sided pan that’s easy too.
My mom only made this like once or twice. But it was amazing.
Baked potato, done properly in the oven so the skin is crispy, broken open and the inside mashed up with butter and grated cheese. Food of the gods.
Same, except skip the cheese and try some butter and soy sauce, or butter and togarashi.
Butter and soy sauce!?!
I am equally disgusted and intrigued. You sir, are a raging psychopath…
Edit: name checks out
That’s making me wonder how balsamic vinegar would taste?
Soy sauce? I’m speechless. I must try this 🤯
Add in some sour cream and I’m absolutely in agreement.
YES.
Might as well finish the twice baked process, you’re 90% of the way there! They’re better anyway…
Potato
Fries!
North Carolina Hot Chips for thin and crispy
Or Sidewinder Fries for thick and fluffy
Any potato is good potato
Do I have to pick one? Shoestring fries, waffle fries, tater tots, home fries, steak fries, garlic mashed potatoes, potato pancakes made from leftover garlic mashed potatoes, curly fries, funeral potatoes, and Greek potatoes are all awesome. I’d also like to try to make patatas bravas sometime. I’m guessing they will also be awesome.
Wtf are funeral potatoes??? Potatoes you eat while at a funeral, or do they like grow up out of graves carrying the life essence from their roommates
They got their name because they’re the kind of casserole you bring to family gatherings. They got popular because of crispy cheesy awesomeness.
the kind of casserole you bring to family gatherings
traditionally to funerals. I believe it originated in Mormon culture.
Hash browns
Funeral potatoes are the one food I miss from Utah. The ultimate comfort food.
I mean, pierogis, right? Gotta be.
Mashed, with butter and garlic scapes.
Either scalloped with cheese, boiled in chicken broth until the broth boils off and the potatoes are basically already mashed for you, or my laptop.
I mean I love it all, but ya can’t beat any deep fried variant, be it French fries, chips, or whatever else you can come up with. So good!

I’d never heard of that so I did some looking and wow, that looks so good! I’m going to try to make one, though I’ll have to change up the chutney that seems to be common as I don’t like cilantro.
Kinda reminds me of the Korean Street Toast, except that one has ham. The grilled sandwich I’ve been eating recently is the Charlie Brown. It’s egg salad. So good!

Will do! Thanks for the tip!
