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)

I like fresh-cut fries.

[–] d3Xt3r@lemmy.nz 2 points 8 months ago

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

[–] Skua@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago

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

[–] cowfodder@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

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

[–] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Yes.

Microwaved because I am lazy.

Otherwise, potato wedges.

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..

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.

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.
