Thread: How do you prefer to eat potatoes?

Random question. The reason I am asking is because I don't know a single person, outside of myself, that prefers baked potatoes over mashed, fries, or any other kind. I have always enjoyed baked ones because they are simple, healthy, and taste good. I just eat mine with butter, salt, and pepper. And yes, I eat the skin too lol

Most people I know will say mashed or fries. Some have other ways they enjoy them but no love for the baked potato.

Now, baked potatoes are great because of the variety of fillings you can have in them and thinking about it, are probably the best option out there, although I prefer mashed, it's just a matter of preference I guess. As far as fries go I like them if they're good fries, I've had so many mediocre ones in my life to the point where I'm skeptical when someone serves them.

But to be fair, my preference of mashed over baked is so marginal that I'm willing to admit that I like them both as much and eating them with butter, salt and pepper is the way to go by a long shot. Maybe baked potatoes with mashed potato filling?

Potatoes are probably the most versatile vegetable. They're delicious. Typically I'd boil them, mash them or stick them in a stew. Here in Britain we usually like our taters buttery. Bangers and mash is a good example. Fundamentally it's a very simple meal. Just mash some potatoes well, drizzle plenty of butter onto the mash and poke some good sausages (thick, not hotdogs or those thin frankfurters) in there. Some people add gravy.

If you're trying to lay it on the plate all fancy like in a restaurant you're doing it wrong. It's meant to be a lazy meal.

Fries or roasted, mashed at a push. Any other types don't really do it for me.
