What's the best potato?

[schneeland]

The potato is great in many forms, but based on my current appetite, the winner is tots potato pancakes (at least if I get it right, that's the translation of German "Reibekuchen"). And I feel, the Swiss Rösti would fall into the same bucket.

Mostly it is skillet home fries with breakfast. Otherwise Picodillo con papas:

Rosti/latkes/potato pancakes are awesome. I think by "tots" the OP was referring to "tater tots".

Shredded potato hash browns, preferably cooked in the grease from the corned beef hash that that they're being served with, and a side of scrambled eggs.

Using whatever criteria for 'best' you choose.

Plot device and bludgeoning weapon.

I struggled between several options (particularly tots and hashbrowns) before settling on steak fries, but even now I'm second guessing myself. I suppose my point is that I don't think there's a wrong answer here.

Except "Potato Salad." Which one of you voted for that?

For me it depends on the potato. Russet are great for mashed potatoes (especially when you make them with cream cheese and bacon bits), while red and yellow baby potatoes are really good roasted and spiced.

Thanks! That's really not why I had in mind, then (have updated above to potato pancakes).

The best potato? The one in front of me to eat!

Potatoes are so yummy in all their forms, I can't even blame all you heretics that didn't choose mashed. Little lumpy, garlic, shaped into a ring or bowl to be filled with gravy.

I feel like latkes need to be added to the list. A lot of us are citing variations on the theme.
