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!
What's 'taters, eh?
I like fries
True supreme leaders of the food world, let’s be honest.
One of the greatest human achievements. Yeah, whatever, have your fillet mignon, escargot, lobster, what have you.
Imagine pretending that tastes as good as a french fry? Lmao losers
I know I'm in a mood when I'm at dinner and narrowing down my choices by which one comes with fries.
Lobster does taste better than fries. Escargot is worse. Ive not had filet mignon.
Lobster does taste better than fries
Parboiled and then smashed and baked at high heat w garlic oil.
Dauphinoise potatoes.
Twice baked.
Baked in a camp fire.
Fried.
Mashed.
hot German potato salad.
Classic American style potato salad.
Not in any order of preference, I just like po-ta-toes.
Yesssss- I was gonna say “smashed potatoes”. Love those crispy crunchers
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.
Home fries or gtfo
Love it. You can boil it, bake it, pan fry it, and deep fry it and I'll eat that stuff any day.
I love them, but almost never cook with them, because they are slightly more effort than other carbs.
Potatoes, rice, and tofu. The three best edible discoveries of humanity.

I love kpop
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.
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 
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.
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.
Koreans literally do snack on sweet potatoes (고구마). Just toss em in the microwave or grill em. They're pretty good! Sometimes they add butter or any dash of salt
Ha, I buy my sweet potatoes from Hmart (Korean grocer) because they have the best selection. Also the only place that sells the purple ones. I just steam them and eat it plain because they're tasty enough already.
Put 'em in a West Indian curry, and I'm hooked!
My beloved, just ate 2 baked potatoes for dinner. Delicious. I simply do not care about nutrition
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.
GOAT VEGGIE IN FACT ITS A GOAT FRUIT AS WELL. THATS HOW GOOD POTATOES ARE. I WILL ALWAYS STAN POTATOES
Fruit?!
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.
Y'know how sprouted grains unlock more nutrition? Sprout your potatoes the same way to have them go through the "malting" process and make them more palatable!
(do not do this)
I hate them. They add nothing to a meal. Tasteless bullshit and way too much effort to cook.
An undersalted potato is an evil potato.
¿Porque no los dos?
I will occasionally cook a whole bag of potatoes put them in the fridge and have them as a quick snack.
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.
My opinion is they they are often very cute, and indeed can be even cuter with googly eyes
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.
