Definitely a tie between Garlic Red Skinned Mashed Potatoes and Sweet Potato fries. Yum!

Anybody have a good recipe for potatoes au gratin, though?

Potatoes. Diced. Duck fat. An oven. 20-25 minutes. Some garlic. Some parsley. A little salt. Happy Kitchenbeard.

lemons, while you're right about people saying that while not actually meaning it, I've learned their problem is more likely that they've had that one kind of potato salad at family reunions or from Kroger for their entire life, and they really don't know there are more varieties out there. Unfortunately, their mind is solidly set that way, and you can't convince them otherwise without begging, "Come on, you'll like this one!"

mepolo, my Michigan Cuisine site was dead as a doornail yesterday or I'd have included the link. Now that the site's up again, here 'tis:

Dave's German-Polish Roasted Potato Salad

Greek potatoes...Spices, tomatoes, onions, green peppers and potatoes. The ultimate comfort food!

I would eat them with a fox,
I would eat them in a box.
I would eat them here or there,
I would eat them ANYWHERE!

(As long as there's no garlic!)

[My appologies to Ted Geisel and his heirs.]

All... I love potatoes, my father, when I was little, called potato, as I was eating so many, and I liked them...
I love potatoes: it's my comfort food, my chic food, my everything!

Baked potato. Finished in a real oven, so the skin becomes crisp.

I'll even eat the things raw, just peeled and rinsed in ice-cold water.

I've developed an oven-roasted potato salad even people who say they don't like potato salad have said they liked. I include chunks of fresh kielbasa that's been simmered in beer, grilled onions, roasted bell peppers, and a dressing made of Hellman's, horseradish mustard and a couple other ingredients.

I boil a few cloves of garlic with redskins (skin on), it gets mellow and sweet and almost gives it a roasted garlic flavor. Then I add gorgonzola, butter, lots of salt and pepper and sourcream or heavy cream. It's basically my favorite food in the entire world.

It KILLS me that my fiance is a "rice eater"
I just can not understand how someone could prefer rice to potatoes, I just can't.

either my moms roasted sweet potatoes or classic garlic mashed potatoes with the red skin still on 'em. Yuuuuum.

latkes, coarsely ground, dipped in cold apple sauce

Too many to choose from, I love them all!! But last night we roasted a chicken in the oven with potatoes underneath it. Probably not the healthiest way to serve them but they were so good cooking in all the chicken fat.
