I voted baked cos there are so many ways to do it well (I like a few cuts with rosemary/salt/tiny bit of oil) but some of the baked examples in this thread are honestly not potato anymore.

When your potato isn't >50% of the dish it's basically just a standard meal that happens to include potato.

Eat the green part of the plant and then call poison control.


Real answer: as part of a pie or casserole.

Not sure there is a best way. Depends what it is accompanying.

Fish and Chips
Sausage and Mash
Roast meat with roast potatoes
Burger and Chips

Baked is also good with a good filling such as Chilli or Cheese. Or Chili with cheese.

Scalloped potatoes are underrated, especially with melted cheese baked on top.

I think your thinking of au gratin. Those are traditionaly the cheesy ones.
Scalloped are the creamy no cheese ones, which I like to but bits of ham n onions in.

But feel free to put cheese on anything you want. That's your right as a human being.

Belgian fried. Everything else is leagues behind, even though some of it is good too

Depends on the mood lol. Potato soup is pretty good. Tater tots are bomb (better than fries imo). Twice-baked if its a side or something, idk. Fuck it. Doing all the above next week.

Soaked in grease and mushy? Hell no even if you want unhealthy nice crisp frites (fries) or a Japanese potato croquette?( anyone know what these are called ) are way better.

Healthy options- home made wedges or boiled is great for super healthy because they aren't dry
