What do you think? Unhealthy starchy jonkkk or mother nature’s super food?

How does it compare to the other carb kings (rice, bread, noodles) in therms of nutritional content?

What’s your favorite type of tater? Favorite way to cook them?

I like parboiling them and grilling them with some olive oil.

Any form of potato, any time of day.

It's a good point. Always have a good time with my spud friends. But it begs the question: what the WORST potato presentation? Low quality Tater tots?

Frozen steak fries from a plastic bag, undercooked

That chest tightness from gulping them down anyway and eating a lot of air bubbles.

Low quality fries worse than low quality tater tots, but a bad baked potato takes the cake.

Is a bad baked potato even possible? I've had ones cooked in the microwave then crisped up in a broiler, and they were just fine. How do mess that up?

Once when I was camping some friends of a friend put a bunch of vegetables in foil and offered potatoes to anyone who wanted. Mine was super undercooked.
