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.

    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.

    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

    North Carolina Hot Chips for thin and crispy

    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.

    Mashed, with butter and garlic scapes.

    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 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.

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

    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.

  • 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.

    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.
