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)

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!

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..

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.

Pan fried potatoes are the bomb

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!

Any potato is good potato

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.

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

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.

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

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!

Boiled, mashed, and stuck in a stew.
