What's the best potato?

[the Jester]

Pugs are the best potatoes.

Using whatever criteria for 'best' you choose. It's about the potato specically, not the whole dish (eg cottage or shepherd's pie count as mashed, poutine is French fries, a Sunday roast is generally roast potatoes, etc.)

I've used the names I know. I've tried to accommodate foreign names where I can, but if confused about terminology, Google is your friend.

You only get one choice, so let us know which is your top, most favourite potato, and why it is roast potatoes.

I rarely have them, because good ones take many ingredients and are something of a pain to make for what is essentially an appetizer, but potato skins are amazing! That being said, I love potatoes in all their forms and there are many options on the poll tied for second in my book.
