    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.

    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/

    All things made from potatoes ARE BEST! Well, except, maybe, axle grease, or building foundations. Ok, and space ships. All right there ARE THINGS which shouldn’t be made from potatoes, fine.

    It’s hard to say. Every potato dish is great.

    If you were to rephrase the question as “If you could only eat one potato dish for the rest of your life, which would you choose?” I think I would find it hard to argue against the humble baked potato

      For me, baked potatoes is just about the worst thing you can do with a potato. It’s not that they’re bad, it’s just that everything else is better.

      I’d choose potato chips. If I’m stuck with only the one thing forever, I’m going to at least choose the one with the biggest range of flavours.

      Maybe I never had a good one? I could probably find a hundred potato dishes more delicious than the German potato dumpling, including straight up boiled potatoes with butter.

          I need to find an authentic German grandma that can make some proper dumplings for me, then I can make a proper judgement!
