          You can just run cheap as dirt vodka through a water filter a few times to make it basically indistinguishable from top shelf vodka.

          We tested this out several times in college with blind tastings at parties.

        Taste is just one feature, and not the most important for vodka.

          Taste is the second most important feature of Vodka in that it is not supposed to have one. The least important feature is whether it is made from potatoes or not. You can make vodka out of practically anything.

          Isn’t rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer cheaper though?

            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.

    The better question is to ask what’s the worst thing made from potatoes. It’s potatoes, boil them, mash them, stick them in a stew, can’t go wrong.

      Patatas Bravas

      would this be a decent recipe to start with? https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/230569/chef-johns-patatas-bravas/

        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: https://www.pequerecetas.com/receta/salsa-brava-casera/

    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.

    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

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

    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.
