1.) You can do anything with them. Anything.
Baked. Fried. Roasted. Broiled. Grilled. Any potato cooked any kind of way is absolutely delicious. Those who disagree....well, you're weird.
2.) They aren't used for just food....You can do literally anything with them.
Potato launcher. Use as a cure for warts. (Look up the old wives tale.) A simple way to beat your brother upside the head... They really are the most versatile food.
3.) Have you ever had the best French fries of your life?
As a strong craver of French fries, I know what it is like when I hit the fry jackpot. Sure, McDonald's and Wendy's have their lives together when it comes to making bomb French fries, but have you ever found the motherload of all French fries? It may come from a fast food joint, maybe a Ma and Pa restaurant, maybe a steakhouse. But you'll know when you find the best place for French fries. It's an intuition. It truly is. A tantalizing taste...sorry, I really love French fries.
4.) They fit in to almost any diet.
Whether you're gluten free, paleo, vegetarian, or vegan, potatoes fit in to every diet...unless you're watching your carb intake...but who does that? ;)
5.) You can get them almost anywhere....
As a gluten free eater myself, there are a lot of things I can't find at restaurants or certain stores that I would like. Potatoes are not one of those things. Whether it be fast food, simple dining, fancy restaurants, or a grocery store. Potatoes are always there. They never fail to be there for those who love and need them. Potatoes are the ultimate food.
