India, May 30 -- When Pubity, a pop-culture social media platform, conducted a poll on the 'Greatest Vegetable of All Time', it was predictable that potato will win the race. "Potato is the most versatile root vegetable. It can be used in millions of ways, yet it delivers different taste and flavour when fused with different ingredients. Not just that, potatoes are often linked to a feel-good factor due to their high starch content and the way they impact serotonin (neurotransmitter associated with mood and well-being) production," says chef Reetu Uday Kugaji. So no matter what shape and size a potato is, it can uplift your mood. Here are best pairings to keep in mind: 1. Straight-cut fries: The traditional fries - crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. Pair them with burgers, grilled chicken sandwiches, or classic fish and chips for a classic combo. 2. Shoestring fries: Ultra-thin and crispy, they cook quickly and are perfect as toppings. Serve alongside sliders or crispy chicken tenders for a delightful contrast in textures 3. Steak fries: Thick-cut wedges with a hearty bite, ideal for dipping in sauces. Complement with hearty dishes like steak, grilled sausages, or club sandwich. 4. Crinkle-cut fries: Wavy, ridged fries that hold sauces well and offer a satisfying crunch. Pair with crispy chicken sandwiches, burgers, or hot dog. 5. Waffle fries: Lattice-patterned fries that maximise surface area and are excellent for dipping. Pair with veggie burgers or barbecue pulled pork sandwiches. 6. Curly fries: Spiral-cut fries seasoned with a blend of spices, offering a flavourful twist. Serve with spicy chicken wings, grilled shrimp, or a classic cheeseburger. 7. Tornado fries: Potato slices twisted into a spiral on a skewer, deep-fried for a crispy snack. Pair with spicy grilled chicken, barbecue ribs, or a hearty steak. 8. Pommes soufflees: Double-fried sliced potatoes that puff up into delicate, airy balloons. Ideal with gourmet dishes like duck confit, filet mignon, or a delicate seafood platter. 9. Tater tots: Grated potatoes formed into small cylinders, deep-fried to golden perfection. Perfect with chilli, scrambled eggs, or in a hearty breakfast burrito. Inputs from chef Nishant Choubey...
