What is your favorite form of potato?

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 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.

Add in some sour cream and I'm absolutely in agreement.
- YES.
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
- Soy sauce? I'm speechless. I must try this 🤯
Might as well finish the twice baked process, you're 90% of the way there! They're better anyway...

Fries!

North Carolina Hot Chips for thin and crispy

Or Sidewinder Fries for thick and fluffy

Potato

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.
Funeral potatoes are the one food I miss from Utah. The ultimate comfort food.
Hash browns

I mean, pierogis, right? Gotta be.

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.

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!
- You can use spearmint instead. Try looking for pudina chutney instead of dhaniya chutney.

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.

Irish pubs are good for both of those! 🍀

Desiree because of Garfield

and if you get it you're actually old not just internet old.

Coal baked served with olive oil and garlic

Hassleback potatoes with butter.

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

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

I have never seen or heard of this method, but I'm intrigued. Definitely going to give this a try. Thanks for the heads up!

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.

I do love me some deep fried sliced potatoes.

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.

They're called Jacket potatoes and thanks for reminding me, haven't had them in a long time!

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.

Tater tot hot dish.

Pan fried potatoes are the bomb

I love this Jamie Oliver squashed potato recipe: https://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/potato-recipes/best-roast-potatoes/. So so good. I do not eat meat so I just use olive oil..

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

Kettle salt and make vinager chips

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

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

Fries, chips and mashed potatoes

chip, fries, and sometimes hash browns.

Baked with homemade herbs and garlic butter.

I like fresh-cut fries.

Chunky chips, McFries, wedges, in a curry, in a soup, roast cubes, ROAST POTATOES!!

Elementary school tater tots (sometimes if you get it at a restaurant they’re over fried or just otherwise don’t taste right). Or scallop potatoes.

Baked, mashed or pirogi.

omg im a slut for pierogi
- Prepare who say they aren’t are lying.

Potato sticks

potato powder, cause it's optimized for quick easy consumption.

Charles Chips

Microwaved because I am lazy.

Otherwise, potato wedges.

Yes.

Chips (crisps for you incorrect non-Americans), followed by mashed

We call them chips in Australia too.

Everything is chips here
- No, you pronounce it "cheeps" mate
- Chips—Australian for chips.

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.
