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!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
