Best Ways To Eat Potatoes, Ranked From Worst To Best

This is a tribute to potatoes. They're one of the most versatile foods and are delicious. Need I say anything more?

22. Potato salad

Pictured are traditional potato salad and French potato salad. While they're both delicious, I would be lying if I said I would choose them over, say, fries.

21. Potato wedges

Decent, but eh. Definitely not my favorite.

20. Mashed potatoes

Great topped with butter and Grandma's gravy and served along a nice cut of meat, but pretty meh to just eat.

19. Potato pancakes

Potato pancakes can be delicious when made right, but I wouldn't eat them at just any time of day.

18. Roasted potatoes

This is a yummy way to serve potatoes with dinner, but I couldn't eat them every day.

17. Breakfast potatoes

Definitely wouldn't be my first choice of potato, but they're pretty decent alongside bacon.

16. Garlic mashed potatoes

What else do you serve with steak at a nice steak house?

15. Mashed sweet potatoes

Delicious, but not my favorite way to eat sweet potatoes.

14. Baked sweet potatoes


One time my mom found a recipe that had baked sweet potatoes topped with bacon, maple syrup, and goat cheese...I think. It was amazing.

13. Scalloped potatoes

Potatoes + cheese = yum.

12. Potato chips


Potato chips are fantastic! And there are so many different ways you can have them: baked, original, ruffled or kettle cooked. My favorites are salt and vinegar and Sriracha/jalapeño.

11. Gnocchi

Gnocchi is truly beautiful. It melts in your mouth and complements any sauce well.

10. Twice baked potatoes


I mean... It's potatoes... with yummy stuff in them...

9. Sweet potato fries

Sweet potato fries are such a nice treat in the fall, and they're perfectly sweet and salty.

8. Chili cheese fries

Chili and cheese go very well with potatoes, but especially greasy potatoes.

7. French fries


I prefer crunchy fries over steak fries, but to each their own. Bonus: truffle fries. Yum.

6. Curly fries

Eating things in cool shapes just makes everything so much better. Why else would you buy macaroni and cheese shaped like bunnies?

5. Rosemary shoestring potatoes

Burgerville has the best rosemary shoestring potatoes as a seasonal item, and I try to get them whenever I can. They're served with an aioli that makes the dish.

4. Fully-loaded baked potato

Baked potatoes with all the works: butter, sour cream, cheese, chives, and bacon... Makes for a great girl's night. They're also very filling, so that's a plus.

3. Waffle cut fries

Waffle cut fries are just better than normal fries. I think it's because there's more surface area to the fry.

2. Hashbrowns


Hashbrowns are a glorious way to start your morning, whether it's the hash brown patties or the loose potato strips. They're so greasy and delicious, especially with some hot sauce.

1. Tater tots

In which Napolean Dynamite asks the most important question. Tater tots are like little hashbrown cubes, but better. They have the perfect amount of crispy outside and soft potato inside. They're also super versatile: you can eat them at any time of day!

These are just my opinions on the different way to eat potatoes. I understand that everyone has their own potato preferences, but to me, these rankings are definitive and nonnegotiable. If I missed any of your favorite potatoes or you disagree with my rankings, feel free to comment below!

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
