I stand with the President of the Glorious Republic of Belarus:

Baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, roasted fingerlings, french fries, latkes- it's all great in my book!

Potatoes made the modern world and spurred massive population growth because they're a very durable staple crop. The First Nations peoples who domesticated them gave the world a tremendous gift.

Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick them in a stew!

I like fries

10/10 food of the proletariat. Lasts forever in the ground until you're ready to dig it up and eat it, grows everywhere and doesn't care. If you're living the apartment life a baked (microwaved) potato is extremely easy and extremely versatile. You can add them to other stuff or eat them on their own.

Usually when I eat a potato these days I cut it up into little triangles and fry it in my cast iron. Can be eaten on its own or with just about any sauce, or you could microwave some spicy beans and you've got a burrito in about 5 minutes.

Love it. You can boil it, bake it, pan fry it, and deep fry it and I'll eat that stuff any day.

Potatoes, rice, and tofu. The three best edible discoveries of humanity.

I love them, but almost never cook with them, because they are slightly more effort than other carbs.

Any form of potato, any time of day.

Sweet potatoes are tastier and more nutritious than regular ol white potato. Not as versatile for cooking because it gets mushy and has a stronger flavor profile though. But if you're just eating them by themselves as a snack the sweet potato is far superior. Fun fact: despite their name and similar appearance they are from completely different botanical families.

If you're going to eat them you have to eat the skin, it's the part of the potato that actually has some macro nutrients.

They have the lowest potential fiber content of all the other carbs. You can always have whole grain rice, bread, and noodles. Potatoes are just tubers.

That said

I like to dip vegetables into mashed potatoes, or make Sheppard's pie, or make potato shipwreck, or top a plate of fries with spicy chili or use crunchy air fried hash browns as topping in salad or wraps. The humble potato is a companion food that helps all the other foods work together.

Love taters. Boiled, mashed, roasted, fried, scalloped, cold in a salad, warm. Potato bread is amazing too, very soft and fluffy. Potato flatbreads are a local favourite.

They are excellent poor people food. I parented without much money, but was always able to put potatoes on the table for my kid. My grandma always made fried potatoes for lunch from leftover boiled potatoes with just a little bit of protein added and fed a family of six like that without much.

I make amazing mashed potatoes, roast spuds, Bombay potatoes, duchesse potatoes, scalloped garlic potatoes and those comfort food fried potatoes like my grandma used to make. I cook with them all the time and much prefer them to pasta which I don't really like much. I'm a rice and potatoes kind of person.

Favourite potatoes are new potatoes, the very first ones you get in a season. Boiled with just salt. On top a little bit of olive oil or butter and a pinch of seasalt. Eaten just as they are, omg they are so good. Self grown are the most joyful.

Hasselback potatoes with a cheese sauce babey

Put 'em in a West Indian curry, and I'm hooked!

In addition to their culinary versatility, they are easy to grow and incredibly productive per unit area and unit labor.

I bet heirloom Peruvian potatoes would provide a bit more wide range of nutrition too.

My beloved, just ate 2 baked potatoes for dinner. Delicious. I simply do not care about nutrition

¿Porque no los dos?

ferment the potato and then fry them.

though i prefer rice, they are all bad for you if you fear diabetes though.

but if you are watching out for that, trying mixing your meals with lentils.

I will occasionally cook a whole bag of potatoes put them in the fridge and have them as a quick snack.

GOAT VEGGIE IN FACT ITS A GOAT FRUIT AS WELL. THATS HOW GOOD POTATOES ARE. I WILL ALWAYS STAN POTATOES

My favourite dinner starch is noodles cuz it's the easiest to prepare (just boil it for 10). Potatoes require longer boiling, and rice requires a wash step and is picky with the boil.

Bread is for lunch sandwiches, also a big bread fan.

I could see myself getting into potatoes, but rice just pmo so bad.

home fries are my go to in the morning if I have time - the biggest yellow potatoes I can find, cubed thiccly, then boiled till just cooked, set aside and let cool off, then deep fry in veg oil until super crispy and tossed in simple spices.

I hate them. They add nothing to a meal. Tasteless bullshit and way too much effort to cook.

My opinion is they they are often very cute, and indeed can be even cuter with googly eyes
