Potatoes are beautiful vegetables, so diverse and transformative. I want to take a moment to honor and give my appreciation to this starch. Here are some great ways potatoes can be eaten.

1. French fries

The O.G. fries, so simple but so good

2. Curly fries

Yum, curly fries are the best (miles better than regular fries)

3. Baked potato

My least fave type of potato but still good in its own right

4. Waffle fries

They are mini waffles but potato-flavored

5. Potato skins

Love putting stuff in these potato skins (sometimes I call them potato cups)

6. Mashed potatoes

Delicious and perfect for Thanksgiving dinners

7. Tater tots

I could eat tater tots all day

8. Hashbrowns (patty and non-patty)

Both ways are good -- I don't discriminate. They are both key elements to a great breakfast

9. Chips

One of the many essential snacks of my childhood

10. Potato salad

I personally dislike potato salad, but it's definitely the food for picnics and the summer

11. Potato wedges

I love eating wedges of potatoes

12. Roast potatoes

Another goodie for Thanksgiving and dinners in general

13. Potato pancakes

Also known as latkes in Jewish culture, they are pretty great (I like them sans the apple sauce, though)

As you can see from this beautiful list, potatoes have many different forms and shapes, and they are all tasty (some more than others, of course). I didn't even cover all of the ways to eat potatoes 'cause as I learned from my research, there are many more ways. So here's to potatoes for being so awesome and pretty good for you too (in moderation).
