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)

Boiled, mashed, and stuck in a stew.

[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Shoot, someone down below beat me to it.

[-] Octospider@kbin.social 27 points 1 year ago

What's "taters", precious?

[-] scroll_responsibly@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 1 year 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.

[-] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

My mom only made this like once or twice. But it was amazing.

[-] MrsDoyle@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] ShunkW@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

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

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

[-] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[-] PapaStevesy@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

Might as well finish the twice baked process, you're 90% of the way there! They're better anyway...

[-] anon6789@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Fries!

North Carolina Hot Chips for thin and crispy

Or Sidewinder Fries for thick and fluffy

[-] SecretPancake@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago

Any potato is good potato

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 10 points 1 year ago

I mean, pierogis, right? Gotta be.

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 1 year 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

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

the kind of casserole you bring to family gatherings

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

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.

[-] CrispyCactus@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Mashed, with butter and garlic scapes.

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 year 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 1 year 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.

[-] tunetardis@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Irish pubs are good for both of those! 🍀

[-] ProtonBadger@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Hassleback potatoes with butter.

[-] Truffle@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Coal baked served with olive oil and garlic

[-] MeatsOfRage@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

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

[-] tkk13909@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year 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.

[-] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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 1 year ago

I do love me some deep fried sliced potatoes.

[-] Dhrystone@infosec.pub 3 points 1 year ago
[-] SomeGuy69@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year 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.

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

[-] cowfodder@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Zitronensaft@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

I hate potatoes, so mashed and drowning in gravy is my favorite presentation. The butter, milk, pan drippings, and seasonings really carry the day and mask the potatoeyness. I have no idea why fries appeal to so many people, they are bland and their crisp texture vanishes in a heartbeat to become a very sad heap of soggy trash.

[-] Interstellar_1@pawb.social 2 points 1 year ago

Kettle salt and make vinager chips

[-] kindenough@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Baked with homemade herbs and garlic butter.

[-] Titou@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Fries, chips and mashed potatoes

Tater tot hot dish.

[-] DaleGribble88@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Pan fried potatoes are the bomb
