4,2,5,10. 1&3 are in last place. As far as vodka goes, corn vodka is tough to beat. Opulent and Tito’s are good, and are half the price of potato vodka. How do you take corn and make either vodka or whiskey from it?

All twelve ways will do, it is definitely the top comfort food. 🥔

You know, your stomach thinks all potatoes are mashed.
27
Uh oh. Tough, tough choices.
If I could only eat a potato one way henceforth, I have to go with roasted. (You can kinda get some baked and some mashed if you need to.)

Don’t matter. I’m straight out of Thurles Ireland, actually Upper Church. We live on spuds here.

This spud’s for you.

What’s not to like about a good baked potato… except at breakfast, so you see it depends what meal we’re talking about.

While you were posting that here I was posting a longer YouTube video under the Sacremento DA thread. They blocked them in from both sides and arrested every driver and impounded the vehicles.

ALL but #10.
One should never turn down a potato dish. Ballast, and good-tasting, too.
5
Baked or Roasted with cajun seasoning.

I have to agree with Bad Brad. I love potatoes but eat them sparingly. If I do imbibe, more likely than not it will be in vodka.
However my sister’s potatoes,, yum.
One inch cubes of taters, tons of onions, coat with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper and some seasonings or just pepper and seasoned salt and garlic. Roast till fork tender at 375, stirring about every 30 minutes. Oh my goodness! Freezes well also. Second to only my mother-in-law’s German potato salad. But she died about 20 years ago, so I will never have them again.

P.S. Scrub and dry the taters, but do not peel them. Nice texture contrast.

@joe6pak:
How do you take corn and make either vodka or whiskey from it?
Either one starts with a mix of something starchy and/or sugary, plus yeast to ferment the sugar into alcohol. Then the mixture is distilled so that the alcohol and some other compounds can be separated from remaining water and the rest of undesired stuff.
During distillation, there some compounds that appear first (heads) in the condensing part and some toward the end (tails). With vodka, the heads and tails are not included, so what you get is pretty much alcohol and water. Do this process a few times (three is common), and you end up with lots of alcohol and not much water. Alcohol by volume (ABV) is way up there in the 90% range. That is then filtered (charcoal) and diluted with water to the target strength. In the US, vodka must be at least 40% ABV, or 80 proof. You can get higher by paying more. It is after all this is done that any flavorings are added.
Whisky/whiskey distilling is different in that a skilled master distiller controls temperature very carefully, and allows some of the heads and tails to remain in the product. This is tricky, because some of those compounds are a bit toxic. Tails usually contain some fusel oil and that is what is supposed to be the main cause of hangovers (there are other causes, of course).
Vodka is rarely aged much, and is bottled and sold shortly after production. Whiskies are usually aged in oak barrels (the good stuff is aged in used wine or sherry barrels) for years before we buy it. The longer the barrel aging, the more complex the flavors and the more expensive it is.
This is a subject that is obviously near and dear to my heart…and liver.

FAKE POTATO POLL!!!!!
What kind of a Potato Survey does NOT include creamy, delicious Salt Potatoes? This is bullshit!

I’ll take any potato that can be used in a spud gun.
I like shooting them as much as eating them.

Thanks Al, that has been something that’s been troubling me. I like both vodka and whiskey, I just couldn’t figure how they both could come from corn. Obviously I like them each in moderate amounts.

(c’mon, admit it … all you m’fers have horked ’em down)

Potatoes are very rich in the amino acid lysine and fairly rich in the amino acid arginine. So it’s true that I drink vodka strictly for its nutritional value.
And for Uncle Al and anyone else interested, to protect the liver, milk thistle and alpha lipoic acid are 2 valuable supplements that help protect and heal the liver. My dad will be 90 in a few days and overcame cirrhosis of the liver with those and other supplements. He has had to have any fluid (from ascites) drained off in close to 8 years thanks to the supplements.
5
That should be “has not had to have any fluid drained” in the above post. And my dad was never a drinker – just developed cirrhosis over the years due to unknown reasons.

When I used to eat potatoes, roasted was my favorite.
Strict Keto now. I can’t believe how much better I feel.

@joe6pak — There’s an English language gotcha with the word “corn”. In current common usage the word means “maize”, the stuff we eat on the cob or that ADM turns into a poor auto fuel that rots gaskets and eats fuel lines. But in the usage of brewers and distillers, corn refers to ANY cereal grain, and in less common but general usage, it means any small seed or kernel. Think “barleycorn” or “peppercorn”.
So, to an “adult beverage” maker, rice is corn, and sorghum is corn, and barley is corn, and even corn is corn.

#13 – still in the sack, uncooked, uneaten. I rarely eat tatters any more. Maybe only 12~18x/365. Yep, the Irish branches in the family tree maybe shaking in anger. But, hey, I’m just American now, not Irish.
But when I do – probably #12 is first choice.
Never touch #5 if there is no gravy.

Rice or #8

Mashed with Gorgonzolla cheese and garlic

Scalloped, french fries, mashed, and hash browns… all sound good right about now. 😩

You guys that pillory the lowly potato, need you some schooling.
Chris Voight, former chairman of the Washington Potato Commission, ate nothing else but potatoes, 20 a day, for 60 days.
Chris was never attempting weight loss. Nevertheless, he did lose weight! But more importantly he experienced significant reductions in his glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol, LDL, LDL / HDL ratio and cholesterol / HDL ratio. All these numbers suggested that Chris had significantly reduced his risk of suffering from diabetes and/or heart diseases. http://www.20potatoesaday.com/
I grow about 10 acres every year.
Red skin with white flesh.
Red skin with red flesh.
Blue skin with yellow flesh.
Blues, Yellows, long russet bakers, round white suitable for everything, long whites that make the best mashed potatoes you ever ate. Fingerlings for roasting or deep frying.
There are over 4000 varieties of potato at this time with that number climbing all the time due to the variability of the potato genome.
In my lifetime, I’ve grown at least 100 of those varieties. https://cipotato.org/potato/
More potassium than a banana and the colored flesh ones contain high amounts of Anthocyanins, beta carotene, vitamin c, 5 of the 8 B complex vitamins, iron, phosphorous, and magnesium.
I doubt that the world could feed over 7 billion without the potato
I eat them every day usually twice a day.
My favorite is probably fresh cut French Fries, but I usually cook whole tubers partially in a microwave and then put them in a skillet with a tight cover, frying them on two sides to redistribute the moisture that the microwave screws up.
I end up with a baked potato in less than 15 minutes.

Normally, any version would do, but I cut out carbs a year ago and stopped eating pasta, rice, potatoes and bread. Don’t really miss any of it except the occasional bagel, croissant, dinner roll to sop up anything on the plate, chunk of garlic bread, slice of toast…aw f*** I do miss bread! Dammit, my kingdom for a LOW carb version of – bread, chocolate milk, Dr. Pepper (not diet) and granola. Where is this rant going?
7
Food porn. Can’t eat them (and many other wonderful things) since I was diagnosed pre-diabetic two year ago. You can make a bad potato dish in my book.

What about Idaho Spud candy bars? I have a spud gun given to me by one of my kids for Christmas one year as a gag gift. And potatoes are also great for shoving up tailpipes of obnoxious neighbors who rev up their engines real loud in the early morning, it only take one spud and kablooie problem solved. I love potatoes of all kinds and boiled Yukon gold potatoes with butter are the best.

Let’s all descend on Handsome Farmer’s place for a potato fest and sample all those varieties cooked all the different ways! You keto people can bring the meat… and drool while watching the rest of us.

One other note: A doctor once said to me, “You shouldn’t eat any carbohydrate that your body can’t immediately burn.”
