    I was going to say hasselback but now I might change my answer.

    Do you cut it before, after, or mid way through cooking?

    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.

    1. Boil them

    2. Mash them

    3. Stick them in a stew

    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

    That's a thing?? Whoa. The wooden ones SUCK, plastic is alright but plastic... how are the potato ones to clean? One of the nice things about the plastic ones is you can clean them and keep them around in your bag for next time you need a spoon.

    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.

    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. 🤌🤌🤌

    Yes, it is more complex and certaintly better than what I make, it is along the lines of the simpler recipes that use mayonnaise as base sauce.

    I plan to one of these days learn how to make one of the authentic recipes that don't use any mayonnaise. If I were to try today I would try this one to start with, it's in Spanish, I guess any translator will do a good enough job with it: https://www.pequerecetas.com/receta/salsa-brava-casera/

    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.

    Either you've never tasted vodka or you've never tasted anything else made from potatoes.

    Taste is just one feature, and not the most important for vodka.

    Taste is the second most important feature of Vodka in that it is not supposed to have one. The least important feature is whether it is made from potatoes or not. You can make vodka out of practically anything.

    You can just run cheap as dirt vodka through a water filter a few times to make it basically indistinguishable from top shelf vodka.

    We tested this out several times in college with blind tastings at parties.

    maybe in elite ivy league colleges you get water filters, our version was when the roach managed to hang on inside the faucet long enough to fill up your glass

    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

    For me, baked potatoes is just about the worst thing you can do with a potato. It's not that they're bad, it's just that everything else is better.

    I'd choose potato chips. If I'm stuck with only the one thing forever, I'm going to at least choose the one with the biggest range of flavours.

    That's almost identical to how my family makes latkes, just we add a little grated onion as well. Going back we're from nearby poland/lithuana so not that surprising i suppose.

    We've found the secret is to hand-squeeze the moisture out of the gratings before adding the flour and egg, it just tastes way better.

    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.

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

    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.

    Really, really well made mashed potates is heavenly.

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

    Mashed, but the key is lots of cream cheese

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

    Roast potatoes! My grandmother made the best roast potatoes in the pan as the roast beef dripped fat down on them; they were amazing, but it's sad that the meat had to be sacrificed to make them that way...

    All things made from potatoes ARE BEST! Well, except, maybe, axle grease, or building foundations. Ok, and space ships. All right there ARE THINGS which shouldn't be made from potatoes, fine.

    Potato scones. Paired with Lorne sausage and you have the best breakfast ever.

  • [–] 3 points 8 months ago

    I think that "best" is tough, but some that I like:

    • Smashed potatoes. More texture than mashed. I favor olive oil over butter.

    • Uno's


    a US Chicago-style pizza chain


    has an appetizer that they call "pizza skins", which is a deep dish pizza basically containing loaded mashed potatoes. I think that it's pretty good, better than their regular pizzas.
