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.

My favourite restaurant always does me dolphinwars with my steak, instead of chips.

But the ruler of all potato dishes has to be bubble and squeak (with an egg on top).

Potato scallops from the chippy. Not all are good but some are amazing 😋
Dolphinwars are mush
Roasites are obv up there but not the ones made by my mum 🤢

Dolphin wars without a doubt! Though also partial to a nice mash.

Dolphin nose

Julienne shallow fried in butter, not sure how to spell it

I vote for tartiflette too. Though I am partial to a dolphinwars, a baked potato or mash - both with lashings of butter. And crisps, roasties, chips, bubble and squeak…

Basically pretty much anything you can make with a potato!

Mash with lots of gravy.
Dolphinwars

Definitely not roast or chips.

Hash browns, but only when served at a mediocre hotel breakfast buffet to anyone with a raging hangover. Some of them and icy fresh apple juice and you're cured.

I'm the only person I know not to go mad for roasts - too much fluff to crisp ratio (and memories of my parents' cooking where hey were still raw in the middle) but I love mash.

Anything beige from the freezer- croquettes, waffles, noisettes are all welcome on my plate - i still think of them as luxuries!

And I agree with PP who says the national standard of chip has declined - out with soggy, woolly chips.

Does anyone remember birds eye potato fritters ? Lived on those in my childhood.

Fried potato slices. No-one ever mentions them on a spud thread anywhere but they’re ace.

what about a good chip butty!?

Crispy roast potatoes with cheese and coleslaw or homemade chips with salt and vinegar on fresh white crusty bread and loads of real butter.

Loaded tater tots with cheese, bacon, sour cream and spring onions.

I had tater tots for the first time ever only this year (I'm 40). Now my No.1 potato product!

Oh God.

Pelvic floor fail at dolphinwars

Boiled potatoes are only good in combination with casserole/gravy, or the next day sliced and fried in far too much butter.

Crisps first, all the time. Then I can’t decide between potato and pea samosas (Punjabi style with homemade pastry and the potatoes mashed, not the Gujarati filo-esque style with potato cubes) or my mum’s aloo dum.

Potatoes truly are the most multi-talented vegetable!

Definitely the new Chester draws.

Hasselback with butter shoved into every slice.

@BattleofBeamfleot I came on to say tater tots!!!!

Definitely dolphinwars and dauphinois for me

Roast, followed by scalloped followed by parmentier for me!

How could I forget a roasty?! Because it goes without saying that takes top spot anyway! 😋

All of them, there's a spud for every occasion I think!

But if I've been sick and need comfort food then it would be champ - mashed potatoes with lots of butter, milk & spring onion (thinly slice the spring onion and gently cook in the butter & milk then when soft beat into the mash) I also love it with cheese mixed through then more cheese added on top and browned under the grill. That's a meal in itself for me.
