Ha Ha! I totally get ya! Any potato is a good one to me lol. I was raised in a southern state too. Actually I've lived in the same state (Georgia) my entire life so we're probably a lot similar in the food area. lol I love arbys curly fries too! Those are my absolute fav fries ever! By the way, I've been wondering about this poutine too. I don't even think I've ever heard of it. I'll look around though & if I find the recipe I will post it for ya. I do wanna try it. Sounds amazing!

I love mashed potatoes---with or without gravy, with or without roasted garlic flavoring, just basically any way I can get them. Mashed potatoes was one of my very favorite dishes as a child and is something I will only allow myself to indulge in occasionally. And I agree with another poster above that you absolutely MUST have peas with mashed potatoes (sweet green spring peas, to be specific). I also love sweet, crisp corn kernels served alongside the mashed potatoes and peas. Add chicken fried chicken and some sweet tea, and you have a most delicious meal. (Can you tell I was raised in a southern state?)
I love au gratin.
I love homemade, shredded hash browns . . . and home fries/skillet fries (so very different from french fries!).
I love tater tots.
While growing up, I loved the potato patties my mom used to make in the skillet from leftover mashed potatoes and green onions. I also love baked potatoes (particularly when it is topped with smoked brisket and barbecue sauce from a top-notch smokehouse, though I love broccoli and cheese, sour cream and chives, and a variety of other toppings as well). I love potatoes that are sauteed along with onions, yellow squash, and okra (which are all dipped in cornmeal beforehand); this is another of my mom's dishes when I was young. I love fritattas that have potatoes in them . . . I love the potatoes that are cooked alongside onions and carrots in a pot roast. I love the potatoes in a homemade pot pie. But I only have the aforementioned dishes in a blue moon. It's been years (decades perhaps) since I've had some of them . . .
I also love sweet potatoes when they are served with cinnamon and brown sugar (or topped with marshmallows and nuts!).
I am sure I am leaving out plenty of ways that I have tried (and loved) potatoes. I think I love potatoes no matter how they are served as long as they are fresh (and not burned or overcooked, of course!). But they are a guilty indulgence for me.
Could someone PLEASE post a recipe for poutine? I don't think I've tried it unless it's one of those things I ate one time but just thought it was an interesting variation of some other potato recipe I've tried. less
