Potatoes are such a diverse starch. I mean go ahead; think of all the ways you could eat potatoes. It’s a lot, right? That’s why I thought I would rank the top five ways to eat potatoes!
5. Starting off the list we have raw fries. They’re great, but only if they are cooked and seasoned well. They are even better with some vinegar on them too! Despite them being delicious, they can be easy to mess up. If they aren’t cooked properly, they can end up tasting soggy and plain. This is why they are at the number 5 spot.
4. At number four we have baked potatoes. Baked potatoes are one of my favorite foods! When you bake them, they get all soft and fluffy inside. They’re even better when you add toppings like butter, sour cream, cheese, or bacon. The only reason they are in the fourth spot is because they need these toppings to taste good, and don’t really have the best taste in their natural form.
3. Starting off our top three list, we have hashbrowns! Hashbrowns are amazing for breakfast, especially from Chick-fil-a. They are shredded up and fried until they’re crispy on the outside, but soft on the inside. You can dip them in ketchup, or add toppings on top of them. Hashbrowns are crispy, crunchy, and always delicious!
2. At number two we have mashed potato’s. They are creamy and very comforting. They’re soft and smooth, especially with a little butter or gravy on top. They’re perfect for Thanksgiving or any big meal. You can add cheese, garlic, or seasonings to make them even more flavorful. Mashed potatoes are one of my favorite comfort foods.
1.Fries are at the number one spot for obvious reasons. Fries are the best! They’re crispy, salty, and perfect for dipping in ketchup, ranch, or any sauce you can think of. They come in all shapes, like curly or waffle fries, and every kind is delicious. Fries are a must-have with burgers, chicken tenders, or even just as a snack. They’re potatoes in the best form!
