Potatoes are one of the most diverse foods that you will find.
Their diverse nature makes it easy to come up with multiple unique dishes that revolve around the famous potato.
“Potatoes are awesome,” Lakeland sophomore Brandon Eastin said. “You can turn them into anything like french fries and mashed potatoes. French fries are the best side food ever because they are crispy potatoes with salt.” Eastin said.
There are hundreds of different potato dishes in the world that each and every one of you can taste for yourself, the potato is easily the best vegetable in the world.
Mashed Potatoes
Coming close to the simplicity of the baked potato, mashed potatoes are one of the most popular potato dishes out there. Mashed up into a creamy, mushy, pile of goodness they are a great item to have on your dinner table anytime.
This easy to make, tasty, dish of potatoes is one the best things you can create using potatoes.
French Fries
One of the greats of the potato hall of fame is the crispy, salty, french fry. These beautiful strips of fried potatoes are a staple in fast food restaurants such as McDonalds, Wendy’s and even Taco Bell.
This shows the diversity of french fries and frankly if you go to a fast food place and don’t order fries you are a weirdo and I don’t not want you to speak to me or even be in my presence. French fries are the best dish that can be made from potatoes in my opinion.
Hash Browns
I can not begin to put my love for hash browns into words. It is one of the things that keeps me pushing forward in life.
The crispy and salty taste of a hash brown when you eat it is like jumping off a cliff into a nice body of water.
I get no greater rush in life than eating my beautiful hash browns. Whether it is for breakfast, lunch, or dinner I will never be upset when a hash brown blesses me with its presence. If there was a number one fan of hash browns it would be me.
By the way, have I mentioned I love hash browns?
Roasted Potatoes
Roasted Potatoes are also a great dish that can be made by potatoes.
If you cook them correctly they can be crispy and tasty.
You can eat these potatoes with every meal throughout the day, you can eat them with your bacon and eggs and even slap them in a breakfast burrito if you want.
They also go great with dinners, like a nice juicy steak.
“I love taters,” Parker Byrd, Lakeland sophomore, said. “Whether it’s French fries, mashed potatoes, potato chips. I love eating potatoes no matter what. After eating potatoes I always feel energized and ready to conquer the day.”
