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.

        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.

    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.

    Fries!

    North Carolina Hot Chips for thin and crispy

    Or Sidewinder Fries for thick and fluffy

    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.

    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.

    Bombay Grilled Sandwich. It’s usually a vegan dish but also has a cheese variation. Pressure-cooker-boiled-and-mashed potato tastes really great as a processed cheese substitute - personally, I would prefer it with black pepper, salt and MSG.

    What goes in as the optional ingredient depends on you - beetroot, radish, capsicum, cucumber. But potatoes, tomatoes and onions are the main ingredients.

      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!

    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!
