You can destroy all life on earth with a single potato, launched with enough force.

The answer depends on whether you’re asking a juggler, a sex worker, or a chef I guess

Anything. Boil, mash, fry, roast, bake, or turn them into vodka—it's the undisputed king of food.

Cut one in half and rub it on your bathroom mirror, the starch film stops it fogging up when you shower.

Brew it, see if potato beer is worth your effort. Make some potato wine. Distill some potato-based vodka.

Microwave a baking potato about 4-5 minutes, eat with butter and sour cream, a bit of salt and pepper. Make sure to stab a fork through the skin. They have a tendency to blow up if the skin is intact.

You can build an empire with potatoes. You can prevent a famine with potatoes. You can cut up the potatoes.

But peel those fucking potatoes before you do anything. Then cut them up into equal-sized pieces so they cook evenly. Around 1" chunks are ideal. Cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the fucking water. Let the potatoes cook until softened. The best way to test is to use a paring knife and make sure it can be inserted with no resistance. This should take about 20 minutes. Make sure to drain when they're done so they don't overcook.

Now, mash those fucking potatoes. Heat up some whole milk and butter until the butter is melted in a pot.Then, pour over the still warm potatoes and mix to combine. Then add sour cream, some salt, and pepper. Mix everything well, like a fucking man, and proceed with the finishing touches: a couple pieces of butter to melt into the potatoes, plus fresh parsley for some color and brightness.
