  1. With the potato being as versatile as it is (believe me, I've made countless different potato dishes), I still prefer mashed over the rest. Some crumbled bacon on top with chopped chives make them hard to resist.
  2. If done right, potato pancakes are a special treat. The edges must be very crispy. For a savory taste serve them with sour cream. I like them with applesauce and syrup.
  3. I order my hash browns extra crispy on the outside, and the softer inside potato sops up the yolk on my over easy eggs.
  4. Let's not forget a Summertime classic--potato salad. A picnic buffet is not complete without at least one variety (my favorite is mayo based with lots of crunchy celery and onion).
  5. Tater Tots--smothered in ketchup.
  6. Has to be a double baked potato. Baked and mashed all in one. Add your favorite things like bacon,chives cheddar cheese or whatever your fancy. Make ahead and just pop in the oven when needed. Sooo good......
  7. In Wisconsin it is easy to be cheesy! I vote for cheesy potato casserole (actually made with hash browns) topped with crunchy corn flakes and melted butter.
  8. Hash browns, crispy with cheese and onions.
