    Potatoes are trash cast your vote.

    Potatoes are disgusting else we wouldn't have thought of gravy

    Only good potato is a fried potato.

    Join me in the crusade against the potatoes.

    Boiled potatoes allowed to go cold, sliced on a piece of hardtack bread with butter.

    Amazing.

    Potatoes are saviours. Fried potato? There's pommes chateu, Hasselbackspotatis, Potato skins, Potato mash, roasted...

    So, nah. I'mma disagree with you and your "crusade".

    Potatoes are a great food source. I agree, that fried, is the best way. Second would be mashed. I would join any crusade to go against any crusade against potatoes.

    I think potatoes are overrated. They are western rice. I like both. But I think calling them the best is like calling salt the best spice. Staples, workhorses, not the best though.

    Potatoes are probably the greatest ingredient of all time. And i say that as someone who doesn't eat them that often.

    look at all the people caught in this troll trap lol

    on topic, I could eat a bag of tator tots as a meal, no problem. I will regret it the next day at the gym, but I will be happy at the time.

    Eggs... potatoes are a close second...

    Edit: Never mind, third behind milk... maybe 4th behind flour...

    Potates are amazing and you're wrong and should feel bad.
    Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.

    Just, be kind.

    Potatoes are awesome.

    I love a Baked Potato. It is a quick inexpensive and tasty meal. Poke with a fork. Rub a bit of oil on it throw it in the oven. Serve with a bit of Sourcream and cheddar.

    A nice potatoe soup with crumbled bacon pieces. What is not to love?

    Gnocchi fried in butter with Sage. Yes please.

    And lastly who does not enjoy a nice Potatoe Salad? Their are so many different types.

    Not evening going to go into the delight that is potatoe Noodles or Dumblings.

    Here is some Advice. For rare occasion you got leftover Potatoe dumblings. Roll them in suger. Fry them in butter until a nice crust forms. I know it does not sound good. But trust me. It turns into a quick potatoe pancake like thing. Serve with applesauce.

    I would like to add, baked potatoes are gross and only a delivery system for whatever you put on them be it salt and butter and cheese with all that other good stuff. If you eat a plan baked potato you're a monster. Facts.

    Apart from all the good potato-dishes listed so far there's also potato-based Vodka.

    Potatoes are the best, and you can use them to bludgeon anti-potato blasphemers.

    I tend to favor rice and pasta over potatoes, but made right they are delicious. I recall I stated my favorite side-dish to be new potatoes served with butter and salmon.
    Now you see it. Now you don't.

    But was where Dalaran?

    If you think potatoes need to be fried to taste good, you never had good potatoes.

    Don't buy the cheap 10kg sacks from a discount supermarket, go to a farmers market where they sell loose potatoes. Research their varieties.

    There are so many ways to cook potatoes without frying that you can have them every day.
