What Is The Best Potato Thing?

[Mysterian]

Mashed, boiled, chips, fried, croquettes, baked, dolphinwars, crisps, or other?

I'd go for chips, followed by mashed with cheese, butter and garlic second.

Going against the grain to stay dolphinwars are the worst potato item as I had really creamy food! Will eat all other potato items as I just love potatoes - top 3 is definitely crispy roasties, creamy mash and chippy chips!

Special shout-out to pomme noisettes - who remembers those? Used to love them when I had school dinners!

Oh man, fried leftover new pots with salt and brown sauce.

It’s got to be roasted, unless your talking sweet potato and then chipped!

But isn’t this all pointless; it doesn’t matter what type you’re eating, your stomach thinks you’re having mash…!

Sliced potatoes layered with matchsticked leeks. Vegetable stock, loads of salt and pepper, butter dotted on top. Baked. There's nothing lovelier.

Waffles are fab, we use them as hash brown replacements in our house as they can go in the toaster! (Saving energy )

Dolphin wars just had me spitting out my drink at my kids gymnastics class

Today I bought potato paratha from the world food shop and I have high hopes. I have already eaten, obviously, the family pack of potato borek which is Turkish potatoes in filo pastry. Guiltless potato eating is the beast bit about veganism.

Tartiflette. Like dolphinwars on steroids. Proper lush.

Bombay potatoes! I batch cooked them (HA!) last night so have a whole week of them ahead 🥔🌶️🥔🥔🌶️

All potatoes are good potatoes, for a filthy pmt lunch there is nothing better than 3 hash browns and cheese sandwiched between 2 potato waffles, it is the food of the gods when you need that greasy carby stodge.

However if you want to go hardcore... do these!

A potato is the best thing. However it is dressed for the party.

And that is all.

Sautéed potatoes in butter, garlic and lashings of salt. Add chilli flakes for a twist 😋

Used to love proper Ayrshire new spuds with Lurpak butter, or potato fritters from the chip shop, tattie scones are also lovely. These days good triple cooked chips have to suffice.

Chips definitely. Also I do this thing with new potatoes - boil til soft, put one in each section of a 12 Yorkshire pudding tin, squash with a fork so they split then add a dollop of garlic butter and a sprinkle of cheese on top, put in the oven til golden. You can add anything on them really, bacon, chorizo etc.

Chips, crisps, dauphinoise

I love you.

Cheesy chips.

Dolphinwars is brilliant. Thank you.

Absolute best us a beautiful buttery salty peppery mash formed into a patty and left over night in the fridge then pan fried in hot lard. The crispy surface when you flip it is awesome - I flip them repeatedly and eat half if it before it gets to the plate. Glorious.

Pommes noisettes are in Lidl every time they do French week. 99p a bag for years but probably going to be nearer a fiver next time...
But obviously I'm here for the Dolphin wars.

Homemade chips fried in Vegetaline. Cheesy mash. Baked potato with cheese and coleslaw. Dauphinoise. Rosti. Jersey Royals with butter and salt. Roasties in goose fat. Diced and sautéed with butter and a couple of garlic cloves.

I would struggle to put them into order of preference. How can you pick just one?

How has no one mentioned bubble and squeak? Mashed potato mixed with cabbage or kale and fried until golden with a fried egg on top. Perfect.
And the best mashed potato recommendation I heard on here a few months ago - it really makes a difference - is to add some white pepper.

I’ve never had bubble and squeak but might try this tomorrow!

Mash all the way. At my wedding the guests had dolphinwars, I had mash.😄

Cheesy Baked potatoes. I'd like to try duchess potatoes
