What's better than a starchy vegetable that can take on just about any form? Trick question, nothing. The most beloved and versatile of foods, the potato offers enough forms and variability for just about everyone. Potatoes can find their way into any meal at any time of day, they're just that good. Below, a recognition of ten forms of potato for a simple potato appreciation post.

1. Baked potatoes.

Olive oil, salt, and pepper: This recipe is as blank-slate as it gets. Feel free to add other spices to the salt-and-pepper mix, such as cumin or smoked paprika, and finish with whatever cheese you like.

Warm, soft, and tasty. The baked potato is the food equivalent of a comforting hug from your grandma.

2. Tater Tots.


You can't eat less than about 20 something of these bad boys. No shame.

3. Loaded potatoes.


Like the baked potato, but on steroids. The toppings make this a meal all by itself. Truly one of a kind.

4. Roasted potatoes.


As the perfect side dish, the crisp outside and melt in your mouth inside of these are sure to make every meal just that much better.

5. Potato Wedges.

Basically, chunky french fries. But also fancier. The grown-up version of french fries?

6. Hash browns.

Is it really a complete breakfast if you don't have a pile of too much hash browns right there on your plate? I think we all know the answer to that question.

7. French fries.


Shoestring french fries, crinkle cut french fries, sweet potato french fries, spicy french fries, curly french fries, waffle french fries, french fries with cheese. Enough said.

8. Mashed potatoes.


Buttery, creamy, and delicious. Plus, anytime you have mashed potatoes, you can almost feel a little bit of Thanksgiving right on your tongue.

9. Potato chips.


Everyone's go-to snack. Nothing can compare to the sheer simplicity and perfection that are potato chips. So go ahead, keep crunching.

10. Latkes.

Not as common as these other forms of potatoes, but just as delightful. With these potato pancakes, you have the choice of either going sweet (using apple sauce as a dip) or savory (using sour cream as a dip.) Latkes aren't just for Hanukah, anymore.

Potatoes: the ultimate fan favorite. Like a caring best friend, potatoes are reliable and always there for you no matter what kind of food you're in the mood to eat. So go ahead, pick one of the endless options of potatoes and be sure to enjoy yourself.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
