The Potato Poll

[JUDE]

Well?

[Guest Jules]

this is way to fucking hard

 

Edit: and too fucking hard too.

[embiggen]

the correct answer is obvious.

[cryptique]

This forced me to admit something to myself that I hadn't previously realized:

 

I'm a baked potato man.

 

Unless my dad is making the mashed potatoes, in which case I may change my vote.

[jmacomber68w]

we forgot potato skin, i just had some twice baked bacon/cheese filled potato skins so yummy

[PigSooie]

I can't choose.

[Lammycat]

We need to be able to choose more than one or it just isn't fair to the other potato options.

 

I like twice-baked, the best. I think.

[Guest Jules]

the correct answer is obvious.

I knew you were a fry girl.

just sayin'

Toughest poll on VC ever. I went with mashed despite the fact that chips are what I eat most frequently. Fries are simply awesome as well. Tots? All mind-blowing stuff.

 

Looking forward to Thanksgiving.

[Winston Legthigh]

fuck this. Where's the Au Gratin platform?

 

(Conflict of interest disclaimer: I made awesome au gratin potatoes last weekend)

[austrya]

chips!!

 

And Au Gratin

 

 

Cryptique, Au Gratin are more cheesy and usually have some sort of crunchy topping on them, like bread crumbs.

 

Scalloped are more creamy and good with ham.

I added a third question to cover some of the potato off-shoots I may have overlooked.

 

 

Also, no Tot love? WTF?

I love Tots, but you gave us one choice!

[cryptique]

It won't let me vote in the "Weird" category because I'd already voted in the others.

 

I would have voted for scalloped ... though I'm not sure there's any real difference between scalloped and au gratin.

I'm an idiot and added my response to this in my edited post above.

[JUDE]

Damn, I can't change that either.

[myboyblue]

Important to note that I love ketchup on Tots and Fries.

Ketchup is gross

 

 

[Guest Jules]

JUDE sucks at polls.

[austrya]

I think Jules is crabby today.

[Sir Stewart]

Toughest poll on VC ever.

 

Yes.

YOU suck polls!

maybe he got his period.

There's some controversy about this on teh Interwebs. I've seen multiple pages that insist there is no technical difference between the two, only a semantic one. Other pages insist that they are two different dishes.

 

My family always called them "scalloped potatoes," but I had a nearly identical dish at a friend's house once and they called it "potatoes au gratin." So I've been confused about this for decades.
