IT’S NATIONAL POTATO Day today. You’re pretty much obliged to eat a potato today so we’ve created a handy little ranking to help you chose the best method.
Christmas dinner just wouldn’t be the same without these guys. They place lower on the list than you might expect due to how hard it is to get the crispy coating JUST RIGHT outside the bounds of your mam’s kitchen.
Yeah, they count. They’re nice and all but their inability to fit into dinner and the soul-crushing addiction we have to Pringles has left a bad taste in our mouths.
Need a quick lunch of dinner? Shove something in a baked potato. This cooking method has been keeping students alive since the beginning of time, and for that, we give thanks.
Again, mash is the winner for its versatility and resistance to ever losing its place in the cookbook of an Irish mammy. Winter, summer, meat, fish, breakfast, dinner, by GOD you’ll have a bit of mash.

A definitive ranking of the many ways to eat potatoes
IT’S NATIONAL POTATO Day today. You’re pretty much obliged to eat a potato today so we’ve created a handy little ranking to help you chose the best method.
You’re welcome.
13. Smash
Moving on.
12. Potato cakes
Just no. A cake should be reserved for birthday parties and times of sadness–like after eating a potato cake, for instance.
11. Potato salad
The texture has been the primary component of about 98% of our nightmares.
10. Waffle
Is there even any potato in these? And why do they always taste of freezer? Still, few minutes in the oven, bit of butter, sorted.
9. Patatas bravas
Only have such a low placing due to notions, but you can’t really go wrong with those delicious crispy potato bites.
8. Croquettes
The thing that springs to mind when thinking about croquettes is just ‘why?’
7. Boiled
Listen, if it’s in a coddle it’s good in our book.
6. Potato skins
Preferably in an overpriced faux-American diner and on the menu with the word ‘loaded’. Bring on the grease.
5. Roasted
Christmas dinner just wouldn’t be the same without these guys. They place lower on the list than you might expect due to how hard it is to get the crispy coating JUST RIGHT outside the bounds of your mam’s kitchen.
4. Crisps
Yeah, they count. They’re nice and all but their inability to fit into dinner and the soul-crushing addiction we have to Pringles has left a bad taste in our mouths.
3. Baked
Need a quick lunch of dinner? Shove something in a baked potato. This cooking method has been keeping students alive since the beginning of time, and for that, we give thanks.
2. Chips
There is literally nothing edible in this world of ours that you can’t put on chips to make them nicer. Nothing.
1. Mash
Again, mash is the winner for its versatility and resistance to ever losing its place in the cookbook of an Irish mammy. Winter, summer, meat, fish, breakfast, dinner, by GOD you’ll have a bit of mash.
