I wasn't expecting this reaction...

Ireland.

Twice-baked potatoes. Bake them, lay them on the side, slice the top off, scoop out the potato while leaving the skin intact like a little boat. Mash the spuds with butter, sour cream, seasoning salt, cheese, and bacon bits (scallions too if you like them - I don’t), scoop back into the potato, shred more cheese on top, bake until melted.

Perfection.

The better question is to ask what's the worst thing made from potatoes. It's potatoes, boil them, mash them, stick them in a stew, can't go wrong.

pierogi, duh

1. Boil them

2. Mash them

3. Stick them in a stew

Poutine

Tots dude. They're basically cylindrical hashbrowns. You can eat them straight up with some sauce, throw them in a breakfast burrito, or use them as the base for a casserole

Patatas Bravas

yes

I'm struggling to decide between hasselback, mashed, potato cakes, and scalloped.

To make matters worse, I have discovered the existence of bloomin potatoes and pommes anna.

I've been pan frying pre boiled potatoes for breakfast instead of toast. Pop a couple of fried eggs on top. Vege snags and caramelised onion on the side. 🤌🤌🤌

Gratin Dauphinois

Really, really well made mashed potates is heavenly.

Combine with the grease from some meat you're serving it with... Yum.

It's hard to say. Every potato dish is great.

If you were to rephrase the question as "If you could only eat one potato dish for the rest of your life, which would you choose?" I think I would find it hard to argue against the humble baked potato

Food

How has no one said a loaded baked potato.

Large large potato Stuffed with shredded chicken or pulled pork, bacon, sour cream, cheese, and chives, then bbq sauce or some hot sauce.

That's perfect use for a potato.

I'm not proud to admit it, but it is the McDonalds French Fries.

Theres also Potato Olés from Taco Johns which is not as good but still up there.

Behind that is probably a fully loaded Baked Potato with sour cream, green onion, cheddar, etc.

Chips

According to Taste Atlas, it's Kartupeļu pankūkas.

Kesselsknall. A German recipe, basically a large hash brown with bacon and sausage, baked in an oven.

Potatoes gratin. Pommes Anna.

Mashed, but the key is lots of cream cheese

Tough call between french fries and baked potatoes.

Chips. Specifically ones wrapped in paper from the chippy. The simplicity is the key.

I love all kinds but I make a mean mashed potato so I'll pick that as the frontrunner.
