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.

1. Boil them

2. Mash them

3. Stick them in a stew

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

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.

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:

there is only one answer to this question and I have to go down three whole responses to see it at this point.

I actually prefer potato vodka over grain-based.

pierogi, duh

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

Cartesian hasselback

Rubbing alcohol will kill you at much lower doses. Isopropanol and ethanol have very different effects on your physiology.

I don't know how safe hand sanitizer is, but the other ingredients aren't meant for human consumption.

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. 🤌🤌🤌

Ideally doused in salt and vinegar and consumed while walking along a seafront promenade.

Hasselback^2

Even you couldn't say no to that!

Chunked and roasted in either butter or beef tallow, with garlic

Don't 'yuck' someone else's 'yum', as long as it's between consenting adult tubers.

yes

Ugh, Brita is the worst.

I prefer rounds - less cylindrical tots means more crunch per cm. But same thoughts.

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

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.

That's just lazy french fries.

Agreed

Ok Chuck

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...

Anything but tater tots.

Hasslebacks sexy little sister?

French fries (from Belgium with mayonnaise)

Either you’ve never tasted good vodka

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.

Hasselbacks

Mashed, but the key is lots of cream cheese

Most vodka is grain based

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.

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

Chips

Potato plants

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

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.

That makes sense!

Good vodka is just vodka that tastes less like vodka.

In taiwan they bake them, mash them, sculpt the mash into a potato shape, bread that, fry it, cut that open, then serve it with some combo of broccoli, corn, pineapple, shrimp, oyster mushroom and always swimming in an inch of nacho cheese.
