You can't deny it. You can even make vodka out of it!

    Breakfast: home fries

    Lunch: latka, potato soup, chips

    Dinner: mashed potatoes, scalloped potatoes, salt potatoes

    Divoreced: even more vodka

    Truly the utilitarian spud

        I wish I could figure out how to make it savory enough, bad scalloped potatoes are undercooked, watery, and flavorless, and I desire to avoid this

          How are you doing them? I can try and help figure it out.

            I haven’t done enough for a recipe, but so far, slicing potato thinly and layering with milk cheese and seasoning hasn’t produced the exact result as restaurants, for example

              So without knowing more I could only give general advice, but the serious eats article has a lot of useful stuff that might help you narrow it down.

              My version uses nutritional yeast and cashews for the sauce, but a small bit of cinnamon with the paprika really helps.

              this is a pretty good start, but add in shredded cheddar and finely chopped broccoli. works with russet or yukon potatoes
