The Best Form Of Potatoes
Salon

Ah the potato, it is arguably the best food I have ever had, and definitely, the best vegetable I've ever had. This amazing vegetable is a chameleon satisfying the tastes of McDonalds or caviar connoisseurs alike, different forms of potatoes can be found anywhere from the nearest drive thru to the most expensive steak house in town. Like Kanye, potatoes are insanely popular and bring in a lot of money every year...It is no surprise that there would be great debate over the best way to use these delicious vegetables, but that is all over now. Here I present you a definitive ranking of the forms of potatoes.

13. Boiled Potatoes


Boiled potatoes are bland and watery, and GROSS. I don't know why anyone would eat these unless they were blended with a lot of butter and cream (see: Mashed Potatoes)

12. Potato Salad


Let's be real, is the potato salad ever gone first? No.

11. Potato Soup


While I have had some pretty delicious potato soup, most turns out bland with a strange texture, hence it's low ranking on this list.

10. Potato Chips

These delicious fried crisps can be covered in just about anything, seriously there are cappuccino flavored chips. The immense variation allowed with these potatoes gives some great style points. However, the lack of substance makes users feel unsatisfied and unhealthy.

9. Baked Potatoes

They taste great with butter, sour cream and cheese...but then again everything does.

8. Roasted Potatoes


I don't know what it is about these potatoes, maybe it's the crisp on the outside or the springs of rosemary that trick me into thinking that they're healthy but roasted potatoes are pretty delicious and get an 8/13 in my book. Then again I would never try making them at home so I don't like them that much.

7. Tater Tots


There's a reason Napoleon didn't want to give up his tots. (hint: because they're delicious)

6. Potato Skins


Even if you've never had potato skins, you can't deny that these look AMAZING.

5. Gnocchi

Can't decide between potatoes or pasta? Have both with gnocchi! Not only is it delicious but it's also gluten free.

4. Hash Browns

Hash browns come in many different forms, all delicious. There's nothing that will get me out of bed before 10 on a Sunday, unless there are hash browns.

3. French Fries


French Fries, the universal food that almost everyone likes. These fried potatoes go great with everything from sea salt to melted cheese. Safe to say fries are one of the best forms of the potato.

2. Twice Baked Potato


Anyone who has had these before will attest that twice baked potatoes are maybe one of the best foods in the world. It's like mashed potatoes that have been baked in their skins with melted cheese on top, YUM!

1. Mashed Potatoes

Mashed potatoes is the food of the Gods. They are light fluffy and creamy all while packing a delicious tasted loaded with butter, cream, cream cheese, or whatever else the food network recommends. The amazing flavor and texture, as well as the longevity of mashed potatoes, is what lands these spuds as #1 on my list.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
