I'm surprised mash isn't doing better.
Where would rock 'n' roll be without feedback?

Re: Potato preparation poll

My friend boasted about how his favorite pizzeria piles french fries on top of their pizza. One day he took us and there is was, a perfectly fine New York style large pie laden with fries. Not good. Not good.

What! No potato pancake/latka option?
My write in vote is for latkas. After that, baked, then mashed potatoes.

I love latkas as much as the next reasonable person but over chips? Be off with you!

My assumption was someone else would be doing the preparing.

I'm not claiming that the almighty tot is necessarily superior to the chip, the mashed, or the baked, but...there's definitely a time and place where no other starchy side will do.

Just knocked off some chips with gravy and chicken salt, the answer is easily chips.

I don't know why they don't put the inventor's quote on packages.
“These were all gobbled up faster than a dead cat could wag its tail,” Nephi Grigg would write 35 years later. The golden potatoes had been cut into bite-sized pieces and fried, and they were a hit. Tater Tots were born.

Re: Potato preparation poll
You really can't ruin potatoes any which way they are prepared.
My favorite potato dish is my mom's niedernauer kartoffeln. She took my great grandma and grandma's recipe and tweaked it by adding bacon fat and parmesan. I took her recipe and tweaked it by switching the cheese to Asiago and Gruyere, adding cloves of roasted garlic and a pinch of Coleman's dry mustard. But basically just cook potatoes by steaming or boiling them, then slice and pan fry them in bacon grease. When they are brown on one side you flip them over and then add the roasted garlic cloves, grated white cheeses like Asiago, Gruyere etc, some sour cream, a pinch of Coleman's mustard and a beaten egg. The result is half mashed, half fried, all good.
The other dishes I love are my mom's potato salad, her potatoes au gratin, her cabbage and potato mash, twice baked potatoes, salt potatoes and potato terrine. All delicious. You really can't go wrong with spuds.
Lately I've become fond of baked salted potatoes with beef brisket burnt ends and bbq sauce, butter, sour cream, cheddar and baked beans. Diabetes inducing but great.

As much as I was raised on potatoes and love them, I cannot stand potato salad for some reason.
I always reach for the cole slaw, given the choice.

Perhaps it’s a textural pleasure more than taste.
Well it isn't really is it, because surely you'd mash them with milk and butter?
