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)

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.

Boiled, mashed, and stuck in a stew.

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

Shoot, someone down below beat me to it.

[-] Octospider@kbin.social 26 points 8 months ago

What's "taters", precious?

[-] scroll_responsibly@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 8 months ago

Boil’em, mash’em, stick’em in a stew!

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.

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.

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.

[-] d3Xt3r@lemmy.nz 10 points 8 months ago

Same, except skip the cheese and try some butter and soy sauce, or butter and togarashi.

[-] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Butter and soy sauce!?!

I am equally disgusted and intrigued. You sir, are a raging psychopath...

Edit: name checks out

[-] 200ok@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Soy sauce? I'm speechless. I must try this 🤯

[-] ShunkW@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

Add in some sour cream and I'm absolutely in agreement.

Any potato is good potato

[-] anon6789@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago

Fries!

North Carolina Hot Chips for thin and crispy

Or Sidewinder Fries for thick and fluffy

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 10 points 8 months ago

I mean, pierogis, right? Gotta be.

[-] GreenPlasticSushiGrass@kbin.social 10 points 8 months ago

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.

[-] Breezy@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

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

[-] GreenPlasticSushiGrass@kbin.social 8 points 8 months ago
[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

the kind of casserole you bring to family gatherings

traditionally to funerals. I believe it originated in Mormon culture.

Mashed, with butter and garlic scapes.

[-] prunerye@slrpnk.net 8 points 8 months ago

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.

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 7 points 8 months ago

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!

[-] RozhkiNozhki@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

I like it on shepherds pie, ALSO one of our local pubs makes Irish nachos which is sliced fried potatoes with cheese, jalapenos, guacamole, pico de gallo and black olives.

3am Waffle House hashbrowns after a night of drinking. Smothered and covered, of course.

[-] MeatsOfRage@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Smashed, it's unreal. They basically end up tasting like little pastries. Everyone is always blown away when I serve them like this

My favorite is new potatoes from a crawfish boil. Second is probably really good potato salad, especially when there’s some gumbo to put on it.

No points for guessing where I’m from.

[-] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

I do love me some deep fried sliced potatoes.

[-] tkk13909@sopuli.xyz 3 points 8 months ago

Tim's Potato Chips have the best salt+vinegar combo I've ever tasted in a chip but I'd have to go with pierogies.

[-] Dhrystone@infosec.pub 3 points 7 months ago
[-] SomeGuy69@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

All of them. I like the one in tinfoil wrapped, you throw into a campfire, while adding some quark with chives, the most. So many memories, when we had an easier time of life, in the late 90's.

Either patatas bravas or roasted. Or just roasted potatoes with bravas sauce. But to be honest I'll be happy with most forms of potato. What a stellar vegetable

[-] cowfodder@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Fondant potatoes. I don't ever bother doing the perfect cylinder cut, but they're amazing.

[-] d3Xt3r@lemmy.nz 2 points 8 months ago

Tornado potatoes. Or the air-fried version for a healthier alternative.

[-] Interstellar_1@pawb.social 2 points 8 months ago

Kettle salt and make vinager chips
