Can't argue with the first two, but putting mash at 5 is an absolute travesty. You need to be having words with yourself there Kev!

Shocking omission of hash browns, a 165+ rated potato product without doubt

[Atlantic Viking]

1. Proper fat steak pie in a country pub type chips that could put a double glazed window through.
2. Roast potatoes
3. Dauphinoise
4. Jacket
5. Mash

[Kevloaf]

Haha I did forget hash browns and dauphinoise.

That's actually harder than it should be.

I love mash as well.


We'll have to do a spudcast

I’m fond of a Jimmy Floyd Hasselback myself.

Hahahahaha found that hilarious, just had to explain to the Mrs why I’ve burst out laughing & split my beer. “You on the that bloody forum again”. Correct.

There is a reason it's called Fat Jockey ....

Anyone for latkes?

Dauphinoise.
French bred from the fields of Auteuil.

I was going to say that surely this is worthy of it's own thread, and then I realised it's on the Albert Bartlett thread and in fact it's in the right place after all.

I can't believe you guys aren't doing top 10's. Top 5's hardly do the 'King of Food' full justice. And if we're going to celebrate the sponsor of the longest Festival Novice Hurdle, we should at least be making a proper effort:

1. Roasties - They win hard held by a distance. Got to be top quality potatoes cooked in goose fat though. Give me great roasties and I'm in heaven. Each one is an individual jewel.
2. Crisps - Good shout suggesting crisps Kev. Crisps are my version of crack cocaine. Only good quality ones though. And why do people bother with ready salted? Bold flavours only.
3. Home cooked chips - They beat triple cooked, regular, fries, oven, or chip shop chips hands down. Good quality potatoes are a must, and they beat the other versions hands down.
4. Hash Browns - Must be the ones that are a bit onioney. The potato only ones are a bit meh. McDonald's should be ashamed of themselves.
5. Jacket - They've got to be properly oven baked to perfection#. Salt and pepper rubbed into the skin. Must be good quality potatoes that have that hint of sweetness and moisture that you can eat without butter or a filling. Although I'm also partial to a good filling.
6. Mash - I love it's versatility. Particularly with different kinds of cheeses added. Boursin, Stilton, or a Blue Cheese amongst my favourites. A nice sauce can be interesting too.
7. Dauphioise - I love daupinoise, but it lacks versatility, and it takes forever to make which is why it only makes the bottom half. With the right meal though I can't get enough.
8. Boiled - I could easily have put them higher. They're a bit forgotten these days, and I don't even mind them out of a tin! They remind me of meals my Mum used to make when I was little.
9. New Potatoes - Again I like them, but they get marked down because I prefer their bigger and fatter uncles and aunties. They're good hot or cold though, and make a nice change occasionally.
10. Potato Salad - Potatoes with lots of creamy mayo, and pretty much anything else you want to chuck in there. What's not to like? Marked down significantly because you have to eat salad with them.

Boursin in mash - a true connoisseur. Stilton though in there? You animal.
