Oh my god, a whole thread dedicated to one of the loves of my life! Potatoes are amazingly delicious, and are good any way you can cook them.
I personally like it best when they are mashed, like most people here. I only really like the home made mashed potatoes my uncle makes for every holiday, because there are always these little chunks of whole potato that make me feel good. Gravy and butter aren't necessary, but salt is. Lots and lots of salt.
My mom makes this really good fried plate of chopped potatoes with a whole bunch of random herbs. I have no idea what she puts in them or how she makes them so perfectly. They just end up as perfect little cubes that are crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and altogether zesty.
Any other kind of fried potato is nice too. Chips, fries, wedges...these bits of fried mashed potato.
I like baked potatoes with salt and maybe butter. Boiled ones are good too. But boiled ones I have to peel the skin off, since it tastes funny.
Potato skins are also really good, with cheese, bacon, green onions, and sour cream. Sometimes I'll make little bowls out of my potatoes and fill them up with some sort of creamy soup, like a bread bowl, but with a wonderful potato instead.
I haven't tried skinless, raw potatoes, but I guess now I'll have to. Meier has me curious.
I want me some spuds now...
