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.
Boiled, mashed, and stuck in a stew.
Shoot, someone down below beat me to it.
What's "taters", precious?
Boilβem, mashβem, stickβem 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.
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
That's making me wonder how balsamic vinegar would taste?
Soy sauce? I'm speechless. I must try this π€―
Might as well finish the twice baked process, you're 90% of the way there! They're better anyway...
Potato
Fries!
North Carolina Hot Chips for thin and crispy
Or Sidewinder Fries for thick and fluffy
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.
the kind of casserole you bring to family gatherings
traditionally to funerals. I believe it originated in Mormon culture.
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.
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! π
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
My favorite is new potatoes from a crawfish boil. Second is probably really good potato salad, especially when thereβs some gumbo to put on it.
No points for guessing where Iβm 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.
I do love me some deep fried sliced potatoes.
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.
