What is your favorite "Potato" option at any fast food restaurant?

[JMCKUSICK]

In honor of debm55 questions of this style.

My favorite, hands down is Potato Cakes from Arby's. Onion Rings from Burger King a distant second.

1. Sweet potato fries for those places that have them.

They are slightly better for you, too.

[JMCKUSICK]

22. Thanks Laffy Kat

Fried onions on top
Ketchup

6. I had a hash brown dish from Waffle House called

'loaded hash browns'. Had ham, cheese, and probably onions and bell peppers, if I recall correctly. It's been years since I was in one, although there's one not very far from my house.

8. Go!

You should go try another one! It's arteriosclerosis on a plate but SO good!

[JMCKUSICK]

20. That sounds amazing. Thank you House of Roberts.

[JMCKUSICK]

21. Yum, fried onions. Thanks ILikePie92.

9. I love Arby's potato cakes too! I also love our deli's tater logs. And anytime I can get it, mashed taters and gravy!

[JMCKUSICK]

18. Thanks Dorothy V. What's a Tater Log?

[CitizenZero]

10. Wendy's

Wendy's Baked Potatoes. Inexpensive and filling. I also like sweet potato fries when I can find them.

[JMCKUSICK]

17. I did use to love the Broccoli and Cheddar Potatoes there CitizenZero.

Thanks for the reminder.

11. Fries from Culver's with Ken's Boom Boom sauce

It's a nutrient-free calorie and fat bomb, but yum!

[JMCKUSICK]

16. I love Culvers's and might have to try one byte.

Sorry Catbyte, couldn't resist.

[catbyte]

29. ...

I like them, too. For a fast food place, their fish and chips can't be beat.

[Skittles]

12. Waffle House scattered hash browns

[Aristus]

14. Twice-baked potatoes.

With garlic and cheese.

Yum!

[JMCKUSICK]

15. That does sound Yummy Aristus.

Thanks for the suggestion.

[KitFox]

26. Fries of any kind. I especially like that giant mound of curly fries

you can get at the state fair!😀 The only fast food fries I didn’t care much for were at “In n Out.” They were so dry. I did try the animal fries there which are covered in cheese sauce and grilled onions which vastly improved the situation.

27. Perogies baby! Perogies.

28. Okay, you've touched on a dicey subject of mine: This trend to liquified whipped mashed potatoes instead of real

mashed potatoes. The easy way out: just dump 'em into a food processor and whip them to within an inch of their lives. Why do people insist on destroying potatoes like this? It doesn't have to be this way. Put a little effort into it and make real ones.

Real mashed potatoes must have chunks in them and be able to stand up on their own and support a fork or spoon in them.

This lame, grits-consistency trend in mashed potatoes must be stamped out!

But in answer to your question: Home fries loaded with onions, garlic, and whatever else, with hand-grated (not pre-grated from a bag) cheese or cream cheese & chopped chives on top.

[JMCKUSICK]

32. I do make all my mashed potatoes from scratch.

add lots of butter, sour cream and half and half with pepper. See, they're healthy, no salt!!

[Squeaky41]

30. Fried favorite

Crunchy fried onion rings with banana catsup or maonaisse.

[JMCKUSICK]

33. yum!

[ProfessorGAC]

31. Rice!

If I have the option, I almost always choose the rice pilaf.
If rice isn't an alternative, I choose based on the entrée. Steak is probably fries, preferably steak fries.
My wife is the potato nut in our house; not me.
