What is your favorite way to eat a potato?

Question

I looove potatoes!! Probably one of my favorite foods. And I don't think there's a form that I don't like but if I'm choosing, I'd probably have mashed and potato salad for the tie!

All of the above.

Except for "very whipped potatoes", ALWAYS keep the skins in- we need that potassium! I've had "garlic smashed potatoes" -(mashed potatoes that were just not very mashed)- and they were great!

As a side note - I will usually add paprika and salt to almost any potato dish I eat. Notably absent were American Fries, kind of a thick potato chip! But, I love them all. Chefs (arguably) consider that potatoes can be prepared in more different and distinct ways than any other veggie. I won't argue the point - just bring the po salad and fries!

My favorite is boiled potatoes with the skin included but well washed.
After that comes fried in second place for me and chopped up in a dish wi6a lot of things on a pan being partially fried and partially boiled is probably my third option.

I *hate* mashed potatoes etc.

Also, the potato species matters a lot.
There's thousands of them.
And I love some like Beate, Asterix, Gulløye, Folva, Kerrs Pink etc...
And hate others like Mandelpotet (almond potato).
As you can probably tell a lot of the ones I like are Norwegian species.

Fries of course! Can't go wrong with fries since you can eat them with practically everything!

I asked a similar question like this a couple of months ago. My favorite form of potatoes is in hash brown form.

CaptainOverthink · Answer

1. Swedish Potatoedumplings (Ölands Kroppkaka) - Dough made from equal parts boiled and uncooked potatomash stuffed with chopped bacon, onions and allspice. Simmered slowly until they float, eaten with lingonberryjam and cream or clarified butter.
2. Mashed or puréd (brushed potatoskin included) with cream, butter and salt.. omg.
3. Ovenfried in oils, salt and thyme.
4. Freshly harvested potatoes, boiled with whatever. Just so pure and basic.
5. Baked potatoes later on stuffed with dill-seasoned shrimpmayo and toastbread with garlic butter.

Pudsmucker · Answer

I love baked potatoes. If there are any baked potatoes left over I will make hash browns out of them. I like mixing corned beef, sausage or bacon along with scrambled eggs. Scrambled eggs will be scrambled together with all the combination of potato and some kind of meat. So good.

Ευδεμονια · Answer

I love potatoes too, I like eating them baked naturally or filled with some cheese and maybe accompanied with a creamy sauce with a bit of garlic and parsley. I like a lot baked potatoes with their peel on so it forms a crunchy crust ☺️

RavVid · Answer

I liked scalloped potatoes. Thinly sliced with cream sauce to double down on the calories.
Baked with butter, new potatoes, potato salad and of course fries/hash browns. I've not found a version I don't like.
